TLC has produced some of the most binge-worthy television shows to date, like 90 Day Fiance for example. Fans of the television network have obsessively watched real people with outlandish and strange addictions to listening to the bizarre stories of women unexpectedly rushed to the hospital not knowing they were ever pregnant.
There have been countless TLC shows that some of us couldn't wrap our heads around because they were just so weird. While some of them only lasted a couple of seasons, we continue to keep our eyes glued to our televisions.
10 I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant
I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant premiered on the TLC network back in 2009 and lasted four seasons. Each episode talked about true stories of women having no idea they were pregnant until they find themselves rushed to the hospital and giving birth.
The documentary-styled show was one of TLC's best dramas. It followed women of all walks of life who live through the potential dangers of not knowing they were carrying a child. While some viewers found it odd, it was a catchy show.
9 Buying Naked
Remember TLC's reality show Buying Naked? The show followed nudist real estate agent Jackie Youngblood and her team as they helped nudist in the Pasco County, Florida area find their dream homes.
Buying Naked premiered in 2014 and only lasted one season, but it was interesting to see the concerns a nudist couple may have when looking for a home since they live their lives unclothed 24/7.
8 Mall Cops: Mall Of America
Mall Cops: Mall of America was another TLC show that lasted one season after it premiered in 2010. The reality show followed the security team at the Mall of America in Minnesota, the largest mall in the United States.
The mall has more than 520 stores and 40 million visitors annually, so it's no easy job, but it looked like it didn't appeal to audiences as much as the network's other bizarre shows.
7 My Five Wives
TLC introduced the world to Sister Wives in 2010, which followed the life of Kody Brown, his four wives, and their 18 children. The show is already in its 14th season and has been a hit for the network.
In 2013, TLC premiered My Five Wives, a docu-reality series about the polygamist lifestyle of Brady Williams, his five wives, and their combined 24 children. The show only lasted two seasons, and while it was definitely up there with the network's most cringe-worthy shows, fans appear to prefer the original show, Sister Wives.
6 My Strange Addiction
My Strange Addiction is definitely one of TLC's most bizarre television documentaries to date. It first aired in 2010 and followed people's addictive behaviors such as eating bathroom cleaner, extreme bodybuilding, and eating half a roll of toilet paper a day to name a few. The show lasted six seasons and left fans baffled.
5 Toddlers & Tiaras
One of TLC's most controversial reality shows was 2009's Toddlers & Tiaras. The show took viewers behind the scenes of competitive child beauty pageants and the bizarre and shocking things parents did to make sure their child came out a winner. The show was canceled after nine seasons, but it introduced fans to Honey Boo Boo, who would end up getting her own spinoff.
4 Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was the spinoff to TLC's Toddlers & Tiaras, which followed the life of energetic 6-year-old Alana, AKA Honey Boo Boo, and her family in rural Georgia. The show only lasted two seasons after TLC pulled it off the network for a controversial relationship surrounding Alana's mother, Mama June, and a former boyfriend.
3 Hoarding: Buried Alive
We're all guilty of keeping items for years that we may no longer need for sentimental reasons, but it may not compare to the individuals featured on TLC's Hoarding: Buried Alive, who actually suffer from severe hoarding problems. It was amazing to see just how much stuff people would hoard in their homes to the point where they could not even walk inside their front door.
2 My Teen Is Pregnant And So Am I
In 2013, TLC premiered My Teen Is Pregnant & So Am I, which documented the lives of a mother and her daughter who end up becoming pregnant at the same time. It was interesting to watch the tension and emotional journeys between mom and daughter, but the show only lasted for one season.
1 Extreme Couponing
Everyone loves to save a few dollars when going grocery shopping, but it's amazing to see how some people revolve their lives around cutting coupons and even diving in dumpsters for them so not a dime is wasted when shopping.
Extreme Couponing focused on the lives of people who find the best deals on items and their insane stockpile in their homes after their intense coupon searches and deals.
