Do you have any "guilty pleasure" TV series that you watch?

Tigrazhia · 04-11-2003, 06:57 AM

You know, those kind of cheesy series that everybody always bags on in public while you kinda blush to yourself because you kind of LIKE that series... maybe not because of it's intelligent, unpredictable plot or advanced graphics or even superb acting, but just because maybe it reminds you of good times while it ran for the first time or you just watch it for sentimental reasons?

I'll be first out and admit I've got a couple of "guilty pleasures" series that I love & watch when I have a chance (usually when nobody is around to bag on it while I watch!!! lol)

I love "Hotel" & "Hart to Hart" and I do also have a thing for "The Dynasty" which was the first soap opera that ever ran in Norway...

Those are my "Guilty pleasure" series....

(Fun Fact (off topic a little): The sitcom SOAP actually ran on Norwegian television BEFORE any of us had ever seen a soap opera..... none of us had a clue that it was an actual parody of soap operas, but we still found it funny ..... lol)

most all of the shows i watch are guilty pleasures.

i watch a tremendous amount of what is considered crap tv.

i loved 90210, melrose place, felicity, once and again, buffy, dawson's creek.... man, the list could go on and on....

Mine would be Sisters, Thirty Something and Once and Again.

Right now..... Trigun, Inuyasha, and Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim section of Cartoon Network.

A lot of people I know don't have favorable opinions about Buffy, so I guess that could be my guilty pleasure.

You're right Mike! All of people that I told that I watch Buffy llaughed! Whatever! They don't know what they are missing.

Of course, I stopped saying that I watch Buffy, and come here to discuss it with you guys.

So, Buffy is definitely my 'guilty pleasure'.

SnowflakeGirl · 04-15-2003, 06:54 AM

C'mon Buffy fans, be proud! Joss Whedon's a genius who has created a modern mythology for our generation. A lot of cool, smart people I know enjoy the Buffster, and even Angel (though I admittedly have only seen a few eps of Angel, and even then just for Faith).

Now, my guilty pleasure has to be dating shows. If there's one on, I cannot tear my eyes away from the skank-fest, no matter what it is, be it Blind Date, Elimidate, Fifth Wheel, X-treme Dating, Shipmates, Change of Heart, et al. If there's a hot tub involved, I am so there (um, in the figurative sense, of course)! Now that's bad--there's zero redeeming qualities to these shows, and I know it. I am sick with shame...

Edited for spelling.

TRAILER PARK BOYS!

I don't think it's available in the States, but it is brilliant. It seems so lame and poorly made on the surface, but I can't stop laughing everytime it's on.

Long live Bubbles.
