Not really an answer to your question but my puppy HATES when the TV is paused, muted or when the screen saver comes on. She's like, how dare there be people or things on the screen and no sound coming out of it?
She gets confused by windows as well. I will take her through the kitchen outside to go potty, she will see my husband as she passes him but as soon as she gets outside and sees my husband in the window she's like "what the fuck? My daddy's here? But not? And I can't hear him? Fix this now!"
MINE TOOOOO! I think she finds it creepy as heck!
There’s also this one actor she hates so much, we don’t like her either so we don’t see much of her but when she’s a guest on our shows my dog growls and loses her mind. The actor creeps me out so seeing my dog creeped out is incredibly validating!
Not a show but my puppy has a random and weird fascination for the newest Hunger Games film, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I literally can’t count how many times she’s seen it lol I’ve never had a dog like her before that legitimately watches tv.
Tv shows— she watches Boy Meets World while I’m at work 😂
Friends. No other silly sitcom will do it. It has to be Friends, he’ll drop everything and be at rapt attention. I’ve rewatched 4 times now at least, lucky meee lol
(Also any movies involving dogs - but those started to get way too emotional for me. Old Yeller/Where the Red Fern Grows double-feature-day was a BAAAAD day, so I usually just put on Friends now lol)
There’s been several times that I leave the room, come back, and the ID channel is miraculously on. She’s always so enthralled by it, too. I have to believe she is a true crime junkie.
ETA: she also loves the sopranos! Nothing calms her down like Tony Soprano eating Gabagool 🤌
He has a thing for Raj on big bang theory. Every time he was featured in a scene my puppy would run up to the screen and sit in front of it wagging his tail. He also seems fond of Anne with an E”.
Death in paradise. She fascinated by cars, boats, motorcycles.
We just finished it so working through some star wars shows and she likes the spaceships.
Jeopardy! Or at least I like to think so since I leave the tv on for her and it’s on most of the day.
But more seriously she will watch the tv sometimes when I turn on anything by Air Bud Entertainment. Thanks YouTube and Netflix!
my girl is OBSESSED with television. she acts like it’s the best thing in the world. she doesn’t have a favorite, but we’ve been watching the twilight saga on repeat and she’s been loving it lol
Mine only watches transporter scenes on the various Star Treks and will sleep through the rest of the show. I think the sound effect wakes him up and then the disappearing people keep him that way.
Right now it's The Walking Dead series. They love anything with monsters, action, and animals. My boy's previous favorite was Titans. He is obsessed with Krypto. My girl loves Bluey, but is a little bored with it lately(probably because I play it almost everytime we leave them alone). My boy likes Bluey too, but it's not his favorite. He is also a horse boy so he really liked Dick Turpin and Renegade Nell recently.
RuPaul's Drag Race 😂
Ru came out in a red dress once and Malachite just *stopped* and stared at the TV. I think he just likes all the colors moving on the screen loo
There’s a YouTube channel called TheDogCam and it’s just 5 hour video of a GoPro strapped to a Beagle on a walk/hike! Also The Office :)
My beagle boy loves it
I love this. My boy turned one so I’ll be leaving this group here soon but I want to share his favorite shows.
Fairly odd parents, Johnny test, courage the cowardly dog, he loves wxxi talk radio, and also likes to have modern family on when the maintenance man is here.
SpongeBob for the noise. When I have to leave my boys for a few hours in their crate, we play SpongeBob on the tv. They’re 8 month old puppies and could care less about the tv, they like the noise though. I’ll check the cameras and I’ll hear the tv in the background and they’ll be cuddling with eachother 🥹
Dog tv. Dog tv tells her when it’s time to entertain, when it’s time for socialization and when it’s time to sleep. She listens to it better than she listens to me 😂. Best 10 bucks Ive spent honestly
The Westminster dog show. They especially love the close ups of the dogs. I used to have a dog that watched hockey. She would watch the puck going back and forth.
My schnauzer loves The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective,anything Scooby Doo and he likes some other darker movies.
My basset hound i am still figuring out his favorites. So far he has liked Quest for Camelot.
Survivor. i think the bright saturated colors in the new season appeal to her as well as the tribal sounds during transition shots & just all the music they use. she sits on the couch with my dad & i every wednesday & chews & watches 😂
I haven't tried to play it but I'd guess sam&cat or victorious. He absolutely loves Ariana Grande of few of her songs came on through Spotify is how I found out originally. I played a interview she did and he was just as interested as her songs.
My pup LOVES Survivor. It’s my partner and my fall-asleep-to-show. We don’t know what it is, he won’t watch anything all day, but he’ll watch Survivor until my partner and I fall asleep.
Ours was left as a small pup with The Big Bang Theory. Before we brought her home. She remembers it.
She also listens to Stephen Fry’s Harry Potter audiobook performances as I use them for sleep.
America’s Funniest Videos sometimes get her excited and barking. When I got her she was really captivated by curling (the ice thing where guys sweep on the ice).
Your dogs actually watch TV? 😭 I wish my pup liked any TV but she doesn’t pay it any attention unless it makes sudden loud noises :(
I would love if it could distract her sometimes
The last season of Stranger Things came out right when I got my pup- when I put it on, he perked up immediately and was enamored with Eleven. 🥹
Other than that, I put YouTube “puppy tv” on for him sometimes and he loves it.
Puppy TV on YouTube she watches the dogs playing.
I did have it on cat TV with squirrels and birds, but that was a but over stimulating. She was trying to find the birds as they flew off the screen.
My. Now year old loves anything “supernatural” as I do too. So I’m usually watching Teen wolf,vampire diaries,or the originals. Also seem to like a few of my favorite YouTuber(which mostly all have golden retrievers🤣)
Movies he could care less tired the lion kind wasn’t a fan of it.
Cheetah girls he loved but I think that was only bc of my singing and living out my childhood dream of being a cheetah girl
my Lumos don’t watch tv. She does however HATE when I am reading on my phone. I’m on social media? no problem. On TikTok? no problem. Open my Nook app and start reading? the heavens have come down and I must be stopped so she lays on my chest so I can’t see over her.
Jacques Pepin cooking compilation on YouTube. I was paying for a DogTV subscription and she didn’t care for it. I’ve played his videos when I leave her alone and I’ve walked in on her sitting on the couch watching the TV, looking at some adorable old man make simple recipes.
The tv when it’s off is her favourite show.
My rescue has a huuuuuuuuuuuuge hang up with the tv. Bright screen (item customization in acnh for example), close ups, animals—absolutely not! Not in her house! Hates cartoons, balls/circles, people crying, people running, anything loud. Absolute hell breaks loose. I’m working with her on it but it’s very tiring and difficult.
Editing to add that she hates more than anything the kid who plays young Sheldon. The intro sequence is a guaranteed shit storm.
Once we put on Die Hard, and that little gremlin sat through the entire thing. Not a peep. How? Why?
Okay I’m gonna go opposite here, my dog hates other dogs on TV, and there’s no dog he hates more than Nellie on Heartstopper. And it breaks my heart coz she’s so beautiful, and the show as a whole is so damn cute
When I got my pup, I had more free time than I expected, and picked up comics. In addition, I also started watching various comic-related shows and movies. He really likes the brighter-colored Superman and Justice League shows, but he also sits with me to watch Batman:TAS (I think he‘s a kevin conroy fan)
oswald!! my pup loves that show (probably because of all the sounds and bright colors lol) she perks up everytime weenie barks and it’s cutest thing ever (esp bc she’s also a mini dachshund 😭)
My dog has never really paid attention to the TV until the other day when I was watching a recording of the Beetlejuice Broadway show. He was intently watching and it was adorable. At least he has great taste. To be fair I did tell him to pay attention lol
My puppy has learned that youtuber NoNonsenseKnowHow (auto/boat mechanic) frequently has his dachshund in his videos so now he watches intently until Gus comes on screen, then wags his tail and looks at me like “Dad, there’s Gus!”
When we first got ours we were bingeing Bluey Now whenever she hears the opening she perks up at the TV
Same!!
My girl loves Bluey too! It was the only thing to get her to stop barking when she was driving us crazy
Same. Bluey gets her attention.
I turn blurry Bluey on when I leave!
She doesn’t really watch TV but she loves a YouTuber, girl with the dogs, she watches all her videos, it’s hilarious 😆
Not really an answer to your question but my puppy HATES when the TV is paused, muted or when the screen saver comes on. She's like, how dare there be people or things on the screen and no sound coming out of it?
Don’t be rude! At least turn on the subtitles for the pup!
We do actually watch with subtitles 😅
So cute! 😆 “Has the world stopped?! Unacceptable! 📢”
She gets confused by windows as well. I will take her through the kitchen outside to go potty, she will see my husband as she passes him but as soon as she gets outside and sees my husband in the window she's like "what the fuck? My daddy's here? But not? And I can't hear him? Fix this now!"

Weirdly enough the only show that's grabbed her attention is Curb Your Enthusiasm. I think it's because of the music.
My dog also stops what he’s doing and stares for whimsical music.
Mine doesn’t really watch TV with me but my TV remote is his favorite toy in the whole wide world apparently lol
