What's your great tv weakness and/or shame?

I'll come clean: I not only watched the Hills on MTV last night, I had reserved the night for several weeks just for the Hills' season premiere. But the Hills is just the tip of the iceberg of my TV weaknesses/shames - I have also been known to watch Real Housewives, that Paula Abdul reality show, Rock of Love (just season 1, but that's probably just because I didn't really start watching the new season early on), and so many more.
We all have these shows, right, the ones that we watch with a mix of absorption and self-contempt? Spill the beans - what's your greatest TV weakness and how far have you gone to watch it?
I told myself I wouldn't watch season two of "Rock of Love." Yet here I am, spending 9 to 10 p.m. every Sunday night watching Bret Michaels make out with coked-up strippers and groupies.
Big Brother. There is an extra season this year because of the writer's strike. I said I wouldn't watch and yet, 3 nights a week I am sucked in.
I always feel kinda dumb for getting constant enjoyment out of "How I Met Your Mother". Common sense tells me I shouldn't, but I can't stop. Last night was especially nice, with a guest appearance from Sarah Chalke (Eliot from Scubs).
I've also been more interested in "The Biggest Loser" than I thought I'd ever be. Luckily they have it on the TV's at the gym, so I don't have to live the irony of getting fatter while sitting on the couch watching "The Biggest Loser". And...I might have a little crush on that Brittany girl.
However, I have absolutely NO shame for watching LOST because it is simply the best show on TV. Even the cell phone is shut off for LOST nights!

Silly me, I didn't think I was supposed to be shameful about "How I Met Your Mother," if only because it has Jason Segel. Nothing gets between me and my "Freaks & Geeks" cast members.
Lost, well, not so much for me - I just never got into it.
I don't always catch the Bachelor, but my wife is a big fan and if she happens to be off on Monday nights, it's on. Then I find myself annoying the hell out of her because I'm asking her all kinds of questions about the girls on the show. She usually just DVR's it, so she can watch it w/out me annoying her.
I can't really think of anything else, except sometimes on sunday afternoons you might find me watching NASCAR, but only due to the HD, kinda
