I always feel kind of bad when I hear Canadians and English people talking about the American movies and TV shows they watch. King of the Hill is a good example of a show that (if they insist on broadcasting it at all) should never be broadcast outside the US. There are just so many (extremely heavy-handed) inside jokes.  It would be like a show being broadcast in America that makes fun of Quebecois and Newfies, or Glaswegians.

why?  Canada's media is just like America-light.  Honestly most Canadians get 95% of the jokes that Americans get.  We can get shows like King of the Hill because we GET the inside jokes.

Where as if you watched, say Chilly Beach or Air Farce alot of the jokes would go right over your heads. Well Chilly Beach pokes at alot of the Canadian stereotypes as well.

Man, this thread. You guys are silly, things like retro cartoons and campy shit aren't guilty pleasures. They are legitimately cool, that is why people list them on their internet profiles.

Now. My guilty pleasure has been the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I mean, yes, I know the characters are kinda predictable and the situation is rather contrived...but then actually I feel kinda bad criticizing it, because I know I shouldn't be one of those pretentious college kids who just tries to appear smart. Honestly, I enjoyed reading through the books. It kept me immersed and it was the first time in forever that I've had that experience of being sucked in by stuff that I'm reading. Lately it feels like everything I try to read, I have to work at, and while it can be very rewarding, sometimes it's just not that fun. Twilight allowed me to basically not think about my life for two days, which was nice.

It does reference creationism and it is kind of funny how Bella and Edward end up saving sex for marriage but I guess the author is a Mormon so it kind of makes sense.

Just because you're laughing doesn't mean you understand why it was originally meant to be funny. Which is totally cool, because art is supposed to be open to subjective interpretation.

for a long time I was not ashamed of anything I read, listened to, or watched, but then my brother introduced me to charmed, and my friend gave me a shit tank full of pokemon episodes. I don't particularly like either of them, but I watch them, I don't know why.

Also one final resounding vote for do not be ashamed of avatar the last airbender. That show was 10 kinds of awesome, though the first half of the 3rd season was a tad lackluster.

For those who say the first half of season 3 of Avatar was lackluster:

Go back and look at the first half of seasons 1 and 2 and you will notice the trend of lackluster there too. It's usually not until the latter parts of the seasons that it really picks up. And the last 4 episodes (a.k.a. the 2-hour finale super-episode) are made of brilliance and win.

Conan, what is best in life?

TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES!  TO SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU.  AND HEAR THE LAMENTATION OF THE WOMEN.

I love it.

I really thought it was cool someone mentioned the Stephanie Meyer series.  That was a guilty pleasure of mine once, as well as the Laurell K. Hamilton series in which the first book was ironically titled, "Guilty Pleasures".

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is my favorite TV Guilt. 

As for movies, it's a tie between Harold and Kumar and Much Ado About Nothing- which has Denzel Washington playing some white guy's brother, and Keanu Reeves raping Shakespeare harder that anyone ever thought possible.

Although I have a strong affection for anime, I have over the years learned that not all of it is good.  I never bowed down for Pokemon, but I did watch a shit ton of Dragon Ball Z in high school.  Always waiting for that damn spirit ball to form.

Oh, and I like Rush.  That statement right there usually gets me more grief than everything I have previously mentioned.

Oh my gosh yes, I love this movie but Keanu Reeves is the worst Shakespeare villain ever. Did you HEAR his evil laugh? Like Doctor Horrible would say-- "that's about standards". Keanu is unable to show any emotion besides confused. It worked for the matrix (part 1 anyway) because he's playing a guy who was just thrown into a world full of stuff to be confused about. Unfortunately, Mr. Reeves, to be an actor you need an emotion count far beyond 1.

I do think by far the best display of Reeves' acting abilities is in the monologue he has in that movie.  You know the, "I will drink..[insert DUN DUN DUN] when I am thirsty!  AND LAUGH AT NO MAN'S LEH-SURE!"

I do have to say that Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is fabulous though.  I just think it's so ironic that instead of being typecasted as a moron, Keanu simply ... is!  Brings a whole new meaning to method acting.

As for Total Drama Island-  I had high hopes but alas I don't think it rocks that hard.  Chowder however is a delightful new addition to the 'We're making cartoons during daytime hours for kids that isn't quite really for kids' cartoon thing that the network is doing recently.  Props.

The most disquieting thing about Flapjack is that freakish 'Candy Wife' they show every now and then.  That thing reminds me of something some serial killer would make out of skin.  And then the man who had a boat powered by the anger of adolescent children? 

It kind of makes you wonder how much further they're going to go on the creep-o-meter without pushing the limits of day time television.  I mean, what exactly is their target audience for these shows?  Considering the time they air the age requirements to fully understand all of the subtleties don't seem to match up.

Soon there'll be a "Silence of the Lambs" cartoon where Young Clarisse tries to jokingly make Young Hannibal stop eating people.  And you know, with a theme song and some super hero suits, it might be pretty cool.  Candy Wife could guest star with Young Jame Gumb as they put some lotion on the skin.

My guilty pleasure, Johnny I will kill your family if this gets leaked, is Gossip Girl.  I watched it once cause I just saw Accepted and had a total boner for Blake Lively, then ended up watching the whole thing.  I think its cause Im a poor boy that want to live in Manhattan so it kinda speaks to me.

To be fair, Don John is one of the worst Shakespeare villains ever anyway. Regardless of how he's played. IMO

Also, guy who said Batman Beyond. Guilty pleasure? That show was awesome!

My guilty pleasure is probably Star Wars novels. Of any kind. Some aren't so bad, but some are just terrible, and I love them all.

Well they ONCE did.  Until that "interesting" thing pulled a 180 and just became Vampire/Werewolf slut-smut.  I turned off when the bestiality turned on. 

Maybe that's why I went to the whole Stephanie Meyer thing, because there was a lovely angst yet nothing too overtly sexual.  After all of Hamilton's multi-sex rompcapades, I was ready for something chaste.

And speaking of Meyer, read "The Host", if you like her style but are looking for something more of interest.  However, if it's the sex you want, stick to Hamilton, she will never let you down.  And let's face it, the world always needs more vampire smut!  :laugh:

oh god, me too.  Now that Cartoon Network is showing it here, I am all over it.  I normally hate reality TV Shows, but it being an animated reality show doesn't seem to bother me.    It is the reason I look forward to Thursdays.  An odd thing though is that CN likes to put little warnings in front of it, like the Up A Creak episode they had "Mild Flirtatious Dialogue" every time it came back from commercial.

I just finished reading Ten Little Niggers by Agatha Christie. It was a brilliant and thrilling novel. On Saturday night I finished reading the non-fiction book Lionheart by Jesse Martin, as I finished it Shearwater's Red Sea, Black Sea reached it's crescendo and I felt utterly triumphant. I had to read it for English and it was dreadfully boring and poorly written book. A biography without scandal is like bread without flour and to try and spice the book up Martin had to talk incessantly about the joys of wandering around one's yacht in the nude and how one had to be ever so careful to not "get something caught" in the rigging and write things like "WOOO HOOOO, YEAH" [sic] to recapture the sense of adventure and fun.
Also, I totally understand what you're getting at there Ruyi (JEEZ JAMES PATTERSON, YOU'RE NOT AGATHA CHRISTIE. QUIT TRYING TO BE AN EDGIER VERSION OF HER AS WELL. U 2BIT CRIME WRITER ONLY FIT 4 THE DUMB HOUSE WIFE'S CONSUMPTION)

I'm not even sure why you chose to refer to it by this title. I never knew it by that title, and the title hasn't been used in America for 68 years.

Edit: Oh wait you're Australian. I guess there's only 28 years of having a reasonable name there.
