Good TV guilty pleasures

MajorCriiimes [Edit] [Delete] 34 replies 22:24 February 27th, 2013

Can anyone recommend any? I don't mean stuff which is obviously only for small children or things which are obviously irredeemable crap.

so you want shows that are a 'guilty pleasure'

but they can't be crap or for children?

What would make a show a guilty pleasure if it's not crap or targeted at children?

- Well, each to their own, but I suppose in my case
  
  It'd be guilty if it was girly, had bad acting or appealed to chavs, metrosexuals or middle-aged housewives.
  
  You can see I'm a barrel of laughs.

Pushing Daisies

Great show, but if someone walked in while I was watching it I'd probably feel the need to justify it.

Never saw Dawson's Creek originally because I have never, ever been it's target audience

As a result I'm watching it now, it's weirdly compelling.

I don't feel guilty about it either but I spend a hell of a lot of my time watching Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network

I watched a program about hoarders last night

where they took avantage of a load of OCD folks by putting them in people's dirty rooms and local swimming pools etc, then they have a bit of a freak out and clean it all up. That one.

I feel like this is an appropriate place to say

I met Danny Dyer.

Also; I bloody loved Fresh Meat.

Two And A Half Men isn't actually that bad, is it?

The nerdy guy who isn't Charlie Sheen is pretty endearing. And it's predictable, but less so than something like Happy Endings, which is just:

Gay guy : 'Gay one-liner!'
Black guy : 'Black guy one-liner!'
Sensible guy : 'Sensible guy one-liner!'

ad infinitum.
