Title: Guilty Viewing Pleasures
Post by: Will on 28 Aug 2006, 13:43
What shows do you watch that are kind of "guilty pleasure" shows...I don't have TV in my apartment (my choice) but sometimes when I go to visit my parents, I'll watch any episodes of Fairly Oddparents that i can find...

Just don't tell any of my metal/hardcore friends...I'll lose my tough-guy points.

I went on a dragon tales binge last winter. Needless to say, It was messy.
I am however doing fine now. the medication helps to supress those cheery dragons and their goddamned songs.

Star Trek: Voyager.

....it's like...I...I know. I know it sucks. But..but...I...no! Don't look at me like that! I can't help it if I like hearing about the Borg and transwarp and the Doctor who's a hologram! And Tuvok is cool! He is!

I'm not sure if its on any more, but about 2 years ago I used to watch that "Little Bear" cartoon. That bear had the life. All he ever did was go fishing and walk around in the woods, and he was friends with a talking cat. Compared to that, my life is pretty terrible.

Eight Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter.


I am not proud of this and I got all teary eyed at the episode when the father died.
My excuse is that I have a 14 year old sister and she forces me to watch it. Yeah.

^ Hear, hear! :P

And I like watching....er....Neighbours

In todays episode Cam (who is actually Robert, with Cam being his twin brother in a coma after a car accident, and afterwards swapping identities) planted a bomb in his sister's car but she got out in time, and everyone has realised that the normally nice Cam is actually evil. (they believe robert is out of the country). 'Cam' doesn't realise that the plan didn't work but visits the hospital where Cam is, planning to kill him too. When he arrives Cam (who has just woken up) hits Robert on the head and swaps clothes, then when he gets back to the house the family doesn't believe his story and they call the police! Innocent Cam will be going to jail! OH NOES!

It's not a "guilty pleasure" but I will watch any episode of Modern Marvels on TLC that I can find...I seriously watched a documentary on glue once...

I'm don't feel guilty about anything that I enjoy, so..

 Spongebob Squarepants-Has some of the best comedic writing I have ever heard of throughout my life.

 Disney Movies-Particularly Mulan I and II and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. These movies have some seriously good music.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Well, I suppose it depends what you're watching/reading. There's a difference between being hooked on stuff like Hellsing, Ergot Proxy, Gunbuster, Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Bubblegum Crisis, Miyazaki films etc. and being hooked on Dragonball Z, Pokemon, Transformers: Energon, Inuyasha and english dubs of One Piece and Tenchi Muyo.

LOL. The Spongebob movie was probably one of the worst movies in existence. It almost killed the show for me... but Spongebob is still an awesome show hands down. If you can watch that show for more than 5 minutes without laughing, or thinking it's stupid, then you got like... some sort of disease! :O xD

There is nothing wrong with watching Sci-Fi Original Pictures. Watching those is a patriotic duty. It informs you of very real dangers like robots, space aliens, space alien robots, and ninja mammoths.

Also, they are the only movies brave enough to tell the truth about SS Doomtrooper.

How is that a guilty pleasure beyond the loss of manly points? It actually gets me chicks.

I'm not really guilty about liking Bones either, since David Boreanaz is always awesome, but it's not a great show. That voodoo one did show some promise, though.

I suppose I feel a bit guilty about watching CSI - and all variations thereof - but only because I'm currently at college training to be a real CSI. The 'guilty' part comes in because I know it's not realistic in the slightest, but it's still fun to watch, right?

And reality shows. Survivor, Amazing Race, I'm a junkie, really I am...

Sir, I believe you forgot the infamous Frankenfish.  Sci-Fi will have watching my back for abnormally large undead fish for the rest of my life, just in case.

Gotta say, I still love Buffy the Vampire Slayer (seasons 1-3, that is) and Angel.  When I can catch the Fairly Oddparents or The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, hell yes also.

I watch CSI/Without A Trace/Law and Order/any other normal crimey show without a trace of guilt.

I don't watch much TV anymore, but I will watch almost any cartoon. Even shit like the Buzz Lightyear cartoon which I still catch on Toon Disney every so often.

Also, X-Play on G4. This show has gone downhill so steadily it was only this morning while watching it that I realized how terrible it is.

I'll pretty much watch whatever my parents watch, and, well... erm. It's terrible programming of every stripe.

That's not what's embarressing. What's embarressing is... I think I like those reruns of Spin City. And, oh god help me, Dharma and Greg.

Maid Marian and Her Merry Men. It's guilty pleasure only in that it's so obviously a children's show (written by and starring Tony Robinson) but I still love it enough to persuade people to buy it on DVD for my 22nd birthday. It's still hilarious.

Come on, anything that has Tony Robinson in it automatically gets brownie points! I remember when I used to come in from school and switch on UTV to watch that...

I'm right there with you.  It's like Cartoon Network kills more of my brain cells than whiskey.  Any number of shows on that channel could classify as a guilty pleasure for me.  In particular, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is horrible, but I can't stop watching it.

I'd say Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, but I have no guilt about watching that show.

I'll go with Murder She Wrote (for tv) and the Wing Commander movie for the win!

MSW is just awesome, if not formulaic to the max.  as for the wing commander movie...well it was on the verge of cheesy greatness till they let the casting director loose.  they should be killed for Freddie Prinze(sp?) Jr...ugh...  WHY FPJr!  WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING!  A PLASTIC BAG ACTS MORE CONVINCINGLY THEN HE CAN!  (its true, go watch any FPJr movie and then American Beauty.)

I would second them. I was going to add DBZ, but I am a proud fan.
