Guilty Pleasure TV Shows

  • So we had the favorite bad movies thread how about your TV shows.

    Mine are in no particular order Hardcore Pawn, South Beach Tow, and Repo Games

    Those of you that aren't familiar with repo games its 2 repo men that take people's cars hook them up then knock on their door and play a game show for the car with a 3 out of 5 trivia question session. In the words of one of my friends, "That's awesome. God bless America"

  • Justified. I've been an Olyphant fan since Deadwood, and Walton Goggins embodies everything that's good/bad about us southern boys.

    Merlin. Swords, Sorcery and Humor always get my attention. Pure escapism.

    Looking forward to the new "Touch" series. That one has potential for serious good writing.

    On "Fringe" tonight, we get to find out where those bald-headed, pasty face observers came from and what shenanigans they're really up to.

    A Gifted Man. Pretty good writing, and I'd like to tickle that Lady Dr. at the clininc until she told the truth. tongue

    Merlin is the only BBC import I've ever gotten into. (not counting the American version of the Office)

  • A very good British show that I've gotten into recently is Wheeler Dealers. If you like car shows I recommend this one.

    Another great series stars Idris Elba (from The Wire) and it's called Luther. It used to be on instant play on Netflix. I loved that one as well.

  • not gonna lie when I get really bored I'll watch Millionaire matchmaker if i'm channel surfing and it's on.

    Hardcore Pawn is awesome, basically any show on TruTV is a guilty pleasure

    ....and Jersey Shore.

  • I'll watch HGTV all day but I don't consider that guilty pleasure.

    My mother in law has sucked me in to Smash, and somehow we always end up watching American Idol because nothing else is on.

  • Swamp People for me. The show is brutal and I don't know anyone else who likes it but I dvr every episode.

  • one time Corey and I watched like 6 or 7 'Billy the Exterminator' in a row on Netflix. Watched I think almost every episode in a couple days over the summer

  • Smash has the potential to become a good show. It's got a bit o somethin' for everyone that enjoys live theatrical performance, and wants a look behind the scenes at how it all comes about.

    American Idol jumped the shark for me about 4 years ago. It's appointment TV for the women in the house, so I have to come down to the office and watch something else.

    Working my way through all 7 seasons of "The Shield" right now. Powerful stuff.

    Shield was good. I watched that whole thing too. Kinda weird how you rooted for the bad guys at times.

    Have you checked out Justified?

    Yes, I am up to date on Justified. All of the FX shows are amazing (Sons of Anarchy is one of the best shows on TV right now as well). I'll watch anything that comes on FX or AMC these days as their series are absolutely phenomenal.

    I'm also kind of a TV junkie. I literally have a million shows that I watch, or so it seems.

  • Merlin- I love that show and I don't know why especially with Guis and his cocked eye brow...Maybe its bc of Katie Mcagrath n Gwen (I don't know her name)

    Wheeler Dealers- WTF is up with Edd China's hair???

    Being Human- Werewolves, Vampires (who don't sparkle) and ghosts eh why not

  • the only show I really watch religiously every week is "Criminal Minds" on CBS.

    I've watched every episode of Prison Break, caught up on Dexter as well as A&E's "The Glades"

    wasn't able to get into Breaking Bad and am currently watching "Alcatraz" on Fox on Demand. The pilot episode for "Touch" looked really good, someone already touched on that earlier...no pun intended.

  • Hey Nash, what'd you think of Fringe last night? Its pretty crazy with September being shot

    That show drives me nutso! Just when I think it's finally jumped the shark for the last time, they go and have a great episode like last night. Those egg-headed observers have always given me the creeeps, and now we have a bit better idea as to what their up to. Nasty little bastiges I think.

    FWIW, I think the writers never expected the show to run this long, and now are really having to exert themselves to keep the story going. All we need is a rhyming dwarf, and we'll have a modern Twin Peaks on our hands. The villian guy with the chicken-fried face, is just the kind of smarmy little icehole you love to hate - I believe they stole him from MadMen.

  • What a great thread ... At the risk of losing all board cred (lol)...

    1. Teen mom 2
    2. Jersey shore
    3. Hillbilly handfishin'

    These shows are too fun to watch with friends and constantly make fun of how stupid te people act on a consistant basis (at least JS and TM2) hillbilly handfishin is just pretty funny
