hate watching

When the pleasure you get watching something on TV comes from your hatred of it.
It's really sad that I learned that technique from hate watching Toddler's & Tiaras

So I was hate watching this liberal/conservative talk show the other day, and the host wouldn't stop talking about healthcare!

hate-watch

(true spelling of hate watch)

To watch something for the sheer reason of enjoying the negative emotions it elicits. (Not to be confused with hate-listen, which usually happens with regards to listening to Rush Limbaugh... for liberals).
At times, I hate-watch "Judge Judy," just to see how horrible she's going to treat the next litigants in your TV courtroom.

Hate-watching is a waste of time and may be bad for your soul.

Hate Watch

Hate Watch means watching a team or player you dislike or even hate, primarily for the purpose of enjoying their potential failures or watching them lose. It’s driven by spite, rivalry, or strong personal bias, and the emotional payoff comes not from who wins, but who loses—specifically
• A Liverpool fan might hate watch a United game, hoping United lose.

• Someone might tune in just to root against a superstar player they think is overrated or arrogant.
