TV Guilty Pleasures

Harms · 11-21-2006, 03:52 PM

I'm on vacation this week and I have the TV on behind me while I tool around on the computer. I totally forgot how much I enjoy watching the Maury show to see who the baby's daddy is. Of course this is something I'm not proud of, but I can't help but watch. My wife can't stand it and will leave the room if I have it on. She's working right now so no harm no foul. Do any of you watch something you probably would never admit to friends but feel compelled to watch?

My wife also got me watching Gilmore Girls. Now I'm so wrapped up in it, I can't wait for new episodes. I originally sat down and watched it cause I thought they were hot, now I'm totally absorbed in it.

"Unsere kleine Farm" - with Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert.
It's about the life of Charles Ingalls with his family living in Walnut Grove.

Laugh at me all you want.

It's called Little House on the Praire here. My parents loved that show.

i have'nt watched TV in my house for over 10 years. i just can't stand it. although having a TV with cable would take up alot less space than the 4 million books and magazines i have piled all over the place.
anyone remember "the Waltons"?

Thanks, I forgot the orginal title. It's based on a book by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I love it.

I keep on watching reruns of "That 70s Show"

There is this show on Disney that my son loves to watch called "Life with Derek" I enjoy watching it too. It's kind of like Step By Step just not as crude and vulgar. But you know the plot. Step family, one side has two sisters who are sort of 'prissy' and perfectionist, the other side is obnoxious and sloppy, they have to co-exist in the same house, hilarity ensues, etc.

I do like to watch ER though. My mom got me hooked on it.

Step by Step was cool as I was a kid, now to me it's annoying. Karen is still a beauty, though.

Im a big history channel nut. Also my guilty pleasure would be Full House. I know laugh, but hey, it was on when I was growing up. Also if I can find it on, The Transformer or Voltron or Thundercats.

I like all educational TV and Jeapardy, but.......I am a reality TV whore. I watch it all (except washed up Celeb reality TV).

I hope not...but I wonder who the next host would be--whoever it will be is going to have big shoes to fill...I'm guessing they are just going to throw some nobody into the wolves and then he will be replaced, of course. After that host fails they will get a semi-respected host to fill in. Either that, or the show is going to crumble to nothing...just guessing.

I used to love snow days. Screw getting out there and sledding. I gotta watch me some Price is Right!

I can't help to watch this on tv.ITs just about rich beverly hills plastic surgeons.Well there is one on there who is really big into martial arts.I believe he even holds a few black belts.Today on the show he announced that he was going to train at the grace JJ compound.He stated that he wanted to learn how to fight off his back.He sparred with one of there black belts and was put into a rear naked choke and then a triangle in less than 2 minutes.I know its off topic but it was an interesting show.

Actually nothing is off topic in the Fight Forum, but sometimes threads are started in the wrong forum. This thread is not about the UFC, so it would fit nicely in the Off-Topic area: http://www.fightforum.com/off-topic-octagon/, which is where it will likely be moved.

I would say 24 and Entourage are my guilty pleasures on TV. I have recently been getting addicted too the show Heroes also.

duke09 · 11-23-2006, 05:27 PM

i simply cannot get enough of flavour of love... i really have no reason to enjoy that show, and i am kinda ashamed that i do...

at school, ill talk about it with teh 1 other person that i know who watches it, and people either look at us like we are semi-retarded, or join in. its crazy!!!

so yeah, flavour of love, but dont tell no one lol

that gives me a good idea, well an idea nonetheless!
