I'm not so sure its so much an obscure channel as it might be obscure programs on obscure channels.

A few for me revolve around real-estate, typically Brit shows, about buying second property in places like Tasmania or Puerto Vallarta, or dragging clients around to view three or four properties in England that might fit their tastes, or dressing up a property for sale in a foreign land that's been an albatross to this point. All interesting.

Hospital emergency room shows . . . . holy tamole, you feel like shedding a tear every hour!! A shameless voyeur in tragedy. Sandra Bullock is addicted to these as well.

I do watch veterinarian shows . . . . . and I just had to ask our own veterinarian a few months ago if 1) she watches them too and 2) if she prefers the Brit versus US/Canadian ones.

She said she watches the Brit vet shows because she can scream at the screen for them to practice better hygenic practices for their surgeries (face masks, etc).

Another obscure show I'll tune in once in awhile is "The Real Housewives Of Orange County." I think it's on Showcase and their disclaimer is " . . . . . for a mature audience, even if it seems very immature" or something like that. It can be surprisingly tender - as when one of the wives under documentary scrutiny has to face a recurrence of cancer - and remarkably shallow.
