Title: Top 10 Guilty Pleasure TV Shows
Post by: JaseSF on May 29, 2012, 09:02:24 PM
What's your ten best guilty pleasure TV Faves? This doesn't have to be limited to current shows although undoubtably there's far more to choose from these days seems and somehow I feel less guilty about old guilty pleasures like MacGyver and Knight Rider nowadays.

I'll start it off with my own.

1) WWE Raw (actually all WWE and TNA shows): yeah these qualify for me now as guilty pleasures as I often find today's wrestling bland, vanilla and forgettable with too much focus on high spots and not enough on story yet I still watch. Every now and then there are exceptions though such as CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan...

2) Conspiracy Theory (with Jesse Ventura): most of this stuff seems completely out to lunch and a lot of it seems ludricrous yet I find this so entertaining I know I should be ashamed of myself.

3) The Nostradamus Effect: fun end of the world nonsense.

4) Coronation Street: perhaps the most entertaining soap opera there is but still a soap opera.

5) Days of Our Lives...ditto.

6) Wife Swap: Like watching a car crash sometimes yet fascinating on some levels although things get rather disturbing sometimes.

7) Family Feud: the sexual innuendo gameshow of all gameshows.

8) Thunder in Paradise: a dumb action show starring wrestlers and a high-powered boat yet I like it.

9) Baywatch: dumb but sometimes entertaining. Wrestlers popped up here too. Hmm a trend seems to be developing here.

10) Hoarding: Buried Alive: Hoarding shows can sometimes be like watching a garbage dump meaning it can be disgusting yet somehow I find the people involved fascinating.

So what's yours?

I almost hate to admit some of mine. Even though I'm a 210 lb red blooded, straight, 40 year old man, I watch some shows intended for 12 year old girls.

1. iCarly- Nick always made good kids shows and this is one of the best.
2. Victorious- See above.
3. One Tree Hill- I love pretty girls and teen drama. Out of all of them this is the best.
4. Pretty Little Liars- Great writing and acting. Reminds me of Veronica Mars, but more teen oriented.
5. Charmed- Supernatural hot girls, what's not to like.
6. WWE Raw- If you consider wrestling a guilty pleasure (I'm not ashamed to admit I watch it).
7. Gene Simmons Family Jewels- It's so fake (much like Gene himself), but having been a Kiss fan I'm always curious to see it.
8. How I Met Your Mother- It get's a lot of flak here, but I like it for some reason.
9. 1000 Ways to Die- No self respecting person should watch this, but I can't help it sometimes.
10. Criss Angel Mindfreak- A douche bag magician who dresses like an 80's rock star, It's like a train wreck I can't look away.

1.the MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS-I usta watch this when my kids were quite little-and I really enjoyed it,too!
2.DRAGONBALL Z
3.GRIZZLY ADAMS-I like how Nakoma would talk to Grizzly in his native tounge and Grizzly would repeat everthing that was said in English so the audiance could unserstand what the f**k was being said.
4.MASTER CHEF-Chef Ramsey is an obnoxious egotist-and so much backstabbing drama.
5.GHOST HUNTERS-A buch a guys with super powerful mics and night vision cameras recording moths and cat yowls.
6.SWIFT JUSTICE with NANCY GRACE-I cant STAND Nancy Grace! I dont know why I watch it!
7.STEVE WILCO-OK-I admit it! I like seeing the big bald meathead yelling-"GET OFF MY STAGE!"
8.Most any cooking show.
9.LAWRENCE WELK-I like the Tap Dancing guy.

I love watching Bob Ross paint....I find it both entertaining and relaxing. :smile:

I also watch Dragonball Z Kai....I've often wondered why.

(http://www.watchcartoononline.com/thumbs/Dragon-Ball-Z-Kai-Episode-80-English-Dubbed.jpg)

I'm also a sucker for most cooking shows...unless there is some chef yelling at someone. I like the cooking,not the verbal abuse. Yet I liked "Chef",a BBC comedy where he was pretty obnoxious.

The show where people are obsessed with eating weird stuff like dry wall, couch cushions, dryer sheets, dead people's ashes, and toilet paper.

Helpful Hint: Movie theaters are the best place to eat toilet paper.

Post by: JaseSF on May 30, 2012, 05:17:10 PM
Actually I've been known to watch that too Raffine. That and Freaky Eaters and stuff like Monster in Laws. I actually remembered a few others I catch myself watching or have in the past watched consistently. The dumb soap opera Passions which mixed in witchcraft and sorcery with the usual soap elements I found I couldn't miss whenever I could catch it despite the bad acting involved. I also like The Young and the Restless a bit too but mainly for Eric Braeden. Sometimes I'll catch myself watching a makeover show called Style By Jury and a show about people fighting to get out of debt called Til Debt Do Us Part. With cartoons, I often find myself tuning into 6teen and I absolutely loved an often offensive style toon called Undergrads. I also could not resist watching a show about young Canadian girls growing up called Ready or Not, not the fare one expects from a grown man, just because it was well done and seemed true to life.

Yeah, I have a weakness for the more bizarre reality shows, too. I can't watch the more mainstream ones like Survivor and any of the singing and dancing ones, but have a gang looking for bigfoot or vampire's ghosts, or with a house full of Annie memorabilia and Pekingese droppings, and I'm there.

10.) Power Rangers Samurai. Grew up watching the different incarnations of Power Rangers.
9.) Robot Chicken- Many seem to detest this, but I love it.
8.) Days of Our Lives- grew up watching this despite the odd storylines.
7.) iCarly- this show is hilarious.
6.) Dawson's Creek- I hang my head in shame.
5.) Party of Five- Yeah.
4.) WWE Raw- at one point, it was acceptable. Now, it's a kid-friendly PG show.
3.) Intervention- a documentary style show exploiting the lives of people with alcohol and drug issues, leading up to an intervention and paid-in-full rehab.
2.) Parking Wars- people getting parking violations and having to deal with the cops and DMV.
1.) America's Got Talent- a trainwreck of a show highlighting "talents" of people.

Just tonight, I watched Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files and Whale Wars...both of which I find entertaining even though Paul Watson is pretty widely hated in my home province for being against the seal hunt. Got to give the show some credit for not really fully taking sides.

1. Just about any 70s or 80s gameshow.
2. Police Squad
3. Most cartoons
4. Monsters
5. Tales From The Darkside
6. Tales From The Crypt
7. 70s detective shows
8. You Can't Do That On Television
9. Soap
10. Shows that were too weird/bad to stick for its time (Supertrain, Cop Rock, etc)

 How do you like the addition of Howard Stern as a judge?  He's actually nicer than I was expecting him to be.


I like watching Bob Ross too, but I don't feel guilty about that.  He's much too soothing!


Title: Re: Top 10 Guilty Pleasure TV Shows
Post by: HappyGilmore on June 01, 2012, 04:56:28 PM
Howard Stern is the reason I watched this season.

I'd watched it before, but wasn't gonna this year as that format only goes so far. Then I heard Stern was on.

Stern's done a great job so far, and has the chance of garnering new fans who never liked him before, as he came off a monster years ago.

Retro, personally I wouldn't feel quilty about most of the stuff on your list. I did feel guilty at one point or another for liking the following though (not so much now as compared to a lot of today's programming, this stuff seems like gold nowadays)...Knight Rider, The A-Team, Battlestar Galactica (the original), MacGyver, Airwolf, Miami Vice, Sweating Bullets, Dallas, Falcon Crest and Moonlighting.

Tanked! and Fish Tank Kings

Tanked! is a 'reality show' about a Las Vegas based aquarium service run by two big loud goombas. They makes huge, tacky tanks out of old cars and pinball machines and beer kegs and stuff in which the fish all probably croak within a week, I'm guessing. They are helped in their business by their collection of wacky family members and employees. Their tanks always look very impractical since they are in odd shapes with barely any room for the fish due to all the tacky plastic 'props' they stuff in them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=XMrQlrP2Ux4

Admittedly it is a more entertaining than it's copycat show Fish Tank Kings . Fish Tank Kings features what seems to be a more traditional aquarium service. Their tanks are a lot more practical (and beautiful) and much more care is put into the health of the fish, but its a pretty boring business with some obviously manufactured drama between some of the employees.

I'm thinking of getting the dvd. loved the show as a kid and recently last few years got back into them.

Vampire Hunter D (1985) and Bloodlust (2000)
Gantz (TV Series 2004)

Yes, except it's "MONSTERS".  The best part was the opening...

I don't watch 10 TV shows, but I do watch "Jeopardy" most nights, I like cooking shows (without the abuse) and occasionally watch those horrific "Housewives" shows like "Orange County" and "New Jersey" but they are sickening.  When I turn on the tube, I mostly watch TCM = Turner Classic Movies.

The simple life is one... I mean yes it is about two idiot rich kids exsperience to working class lifestyle. Which is simply trash TV from just that. But once you watch it it is just one stupid thing after another. That keeps building up. It is like what I do with my friends when drunk. But they however... May not be drunk.

Another is other trash like Wife Swap, My Strange Addiction, 1,000 ways to die, Ghost Hunters, And a few others I can not remember and am glad I forget.

10-Bob Ross painting show....

I had an official Bob Ross branded set of drawing/art supplies when I was a kid!

As for me... I am glad to see that I'm not the only middle-aged man who watches "iCarly." My kids watch Nickelodeon all the time and as much as I hate to admit it, that show (and its sister show "Victorious") are both pretty damned funny. I actually like them better than a lot of sitcoms aimed at grown-ups.  :teddyr: I can't tell you how many times the kids have turned on "iCarly," then left the room after only a couple of minutes to go do something else (since they have the attention span of house flies), leaving my wife and I sitting there watching (and enjoying) the rest of the episode by ourselves...  :bouncegiggle:

I remember before Bob Ross the show was hosted by this little pot bellied German man. He always wore old man safari shirts and spoke vit a vetty schrtronk oxzint.

He was fun to watch but not really that informative. He would be slapping up a tree, river, cloud, or whater ever and would be narrating "Zo chu do zee cloud like diiiis, und chu do der tree like diiis..." It was amazing how fast he could paint. He could really bring a painting to life by simply adding a few spots of white paint, or swiping the whole thing with a broad brush.
