Stars, they're just like us: They leave indentations on their couches from binge-watching shows such as Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and more!

And what better place to discuss TV obsessions than at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas, where stars from hit shows such as Scandal, New Girl and Boy Meets World revealed their favorite shows to us. And for a bit of fun, we asked actors such as Josh Malina, Ike Barinholtz and more to reveal what their characters' favorite shows would be. Plus, the masterminds behind Once Upon a Time and Community were quick to shower praise on some of their fellow small-screen pals. And surprise—it turns out that TV people actually like good TV, too. Go figure!

So who has been binge-watching on BBC America's breakout hit Orphan Black? And who is still in awe of Mad Men? And which Scandal star is obsessed with Long Island Medium?! Find out...

Josh Malina, Scandal: I've been watching Orphan Black. It's an astoundingly great show. Tatiana Maslany is so good, she's awesome.
David Rosen: Antiques Roadshow.

Katie Lowes, Scandal: I've been loving Long Island Medium!
Quinn Perkins: Game of Thrones because she's loving the violence right now.

Dan Bucatinsky, Scandal: Mad Men and The Killing.
James Novak: The Newsroom, and probably late at night with Cyrus, Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Eddy Kitsis, Once Upon a Time: I have such a generic answer, which is Game of Thrones. I just started binge-watching Orphan Black.

Adam Horowitz, Once Upon a Time: Generic answer, but it's true: Mad Men. I just love the show. To be that great and sustain it that long is amazing.

Ike Barinholtz, The Mindy Project: Game of Thrones, love it!
Morgan Tookers: Storage Wars, Duck Dynasty…some show that's easy to follow!

Ben Savage, Boy Meets World: I don't have a favorite TV show.
Cory Matthews: Cory's would be a cooking show probably, about cake or something like that!

Rider Strong, Boy Meets World: My favorite show is Mad Men; it's incredible.
Shawn Hunter: He grew up in a trailer park; he probably doesn't own a TV.

Betsey Randle, Boy Meets World: My favorite right now has been Homeland lately. I love Parenthood, I love Friday Night Lights, just love that. I'm a sucker for family shows!
Amy Matthews: She'll probably like Homeland, too. She's pretty liberal; she's a pretty smart cookie!

Matthew Lawrence, Boy Meets World: My favorite right now is River Monsters.
Jack Hunter: Probably Breaking Bad.

Dan Harmon, Community and Channel 101: My boring answer is Game of Thrones.

Rob Schrab, Channel 101: I'm a big Doctor Who fan.

Lamorne Morris, New Girl: My favorite show will always and forever be Breaking Bad, but I have a ton of favorites.
Winston Bishop: Probably something foreign. Downton Abbey…no, but he referenced that and he doesn't watch that. Winston's favorite show would be probably Sherlock because he's always pulling pranks and schemes.

Dave Finkel, New Girl executive producer: I love Breaking Bad. I don't watch a ton of comedy, but I love Louie. I love Game of Thrones.
