GTKY: What's your guilty pleasure TV show?

BayCamp

I know we're a day late on the GTKY but thought this might be a good one. What show do you love but are slightly embarrassed for loving it? 

BayCamp

I love Wendy Williams. It's such pop gossip crap but I love every ridiculous wig filled minute of it. I look forward to DS's nap time every day because I can eat my lunch in peace and watch Wendy. 

Also, I'm sad she's on a 2 week break but it's given me the chance to catch up on Scandal. 

JDW0325

Good one!

Mine is probably Pretty Little Liars. Although I am behind from last season so if there are other fans (doubtful..hahahah) no spoilers! 

bklynchica

Oh boy. BF and I very much enjoy crap TV together, Pretty Little Liars included! 

But our guiltiest would have to be the bachelor franchise. We love hate watching and talking shit.

BayCamp

@JDW0325 I watched PLL up until the last 2 seasons and they lost me. It just got a little too crazy for me 

DuchessOfCambridge

+1 for PLL! I watched RHOC for a while and got pretty into it but then all the yelling finally got to me. I tried Vanderpump Rules but I didn't care about the peoples lives. I really really really like Hart of Dixie and rewatch it all the time!

JDW0325

Yesssss, I am glad I am not along with PLL!
@baycamp  oh it is SO WILD and SO SILLY at times. I just can't help myself! 

I love Switched at Birth too. I'm not really embarrassed by that one though!

EDIT- tagged wrong person!

elsieisamoocow

The Bachelor/Bachelorette for sure. I only watched this season because of habit because I hated Nick, but now DH is addicted too. 

I used to be into PLL too (DH still watches it hahaha) but after the 5 year time jump, I think I watched half of that season and it got too weird and lame for me. 

@DuchessOfCambridge I need to watch Hart of Dixie again! I watched the first couple of seasons but then I think our dvr needed to be replaced and I forgot to record it so we fell behind. It's on my list of future binge watching!

DuchessOfCambridge

@elsieisamoocow I got weirded out after the time jump too! I think they should have just ended it tbh... and agreed about Nick's season. I only watched because I was commissioner of my Bach fantasy league. He is the worst and I STILL think it's so selfish he didn't move to Canada. "No, Vanessa, you move to America where you won't have free healthcare or good maternity leave and have to leave your real job...so I can be on Dancing With the Stars." He is THE WORST.

emucoleman

I love the Bachelor shows too (mostly making fun of them). Nick's season was mostly terrible but I'm glad I watched, because Rachel! 

bklynchica

Paradise is the best, though. They really hit a home run there.

Any PLL fans watch Ravenswood? For a year we would say to each other every once in a while "what happened to Caleb in Ravenswood?!" before we realized there was a whole spin off show about it! We liked it a lot. Sad there was only one season.

bklynchica

I theorize that they made Nick eliminate Rachel so she could be bachelorette. And good, because she deserves better.

elsieisamoocow

@bklynchica yeah we watched Ravenswood too! It was good but so creepy. And yes, can't wait for Paradise again!!

@DuchessOfCambridge the worst. Vanessa is too good for him too. 

bklynchica

Raven (who BF totally had a crush on) is also too good for him. Girl needs to get back in law school!

DuchessOfCambridge

@elsieisamoocow @bklynchica agreed Rachel and Vanessa are both way too good for him. They better not make Rachel's deal with some weird racist ish though like they did in that finale. "I'm ready to go black and I'm never going back?" That moron better go home night one. I was so angry they did that to her on TV when she couldn't react.

elsieisamoocow

@DuchessOfCambridge yeah DH and I looked at each other when that happened and were like "did that really just happen?!" Ridiculous. 

av2323

MTV for mine.  I live for the challenges.  I also love Real World and Are You The One.  

cmessamore

I'm not really embarrassed to admit the shows I love, but I'm embarrassed to admit that I could watch the following for hours if give the opportunity: Friends, Will and Grace, and Gilmore Girls. Also, DH and I have an obsession with the show Psych which was on for 8 years, yet no one seems to know it! Lol

liz4382

I love Dancing With the Stars!  Not embarrassed.  It's just plain fun to watch and I usually get more attached to the pro dancers than the celebrities.  Bachelor fans: Nick is an ok dancer but doesn't seem to be doing so well in the votes!  I know he wasn't very popular but he is coming across somewhat likeable.

BayCamp

@cmessamore Friends, Will and Grace, and How I Met Your Mother are on  constantly here. They never get old! 

I feel like a traitor to my generation but I've never watched Gilmore Girls ::hides in shame::

cmessamore

@BayCamp it's sooooo good! lol I rewatched it all on Netflix when they came out with the "a year in the life" special. Glorious hours were spent watching it! 

rachelb51212

@cmessamore I love GG! Definitely binged (as much as possible with a toddler) the Netflix series. 

zigzag8412

Bachelor/ette- I watched two seasons in college and just recently watched Nick's season for some unknown reason... I hated him from the start but Rachel is my *heart* and while I was bummed she didn't "win" DH was right that in that situation I didn't really want her to.  Her "winning" was *not* ending up with Nick.  Mostly glad Nick's over and cannot wait   for Rachel's season.  Agreed on the race card thing...  Starting her season on the finale of Nick's was 1) horrible and 2) as if they knew they needed to distance themselves from Nick's season as much as possible as soon as possible.  Wasn't impressed with any of the guys they showed but our girl kept her class and her chill.  Hoping she gets the perfect fairy tale out of all this and not just another "reality" show fiasco.

GOT is my secret guilty pleasure.

lck101

I have a slight obsession with My 600 Lb Life on TLC. Even when it grosses me out, I can't stop watching. It is uplifting when they're able to turn their lives around, though...or maybe that's just what I keep telling myself!

liz4382

Maybe this is an UO, but I don't get The Bachelor.  I think it's silly and it bothers me to see women fighting over a man they don't even know.  And it's always like 2 hours of the same thing!  But I really do love the Bachelor Pad/Bachelor in Paradise spinoffs where you get to see everyone's true colors.

@av2323 I also love the MTV challenges.  I recently went back and watched the Real World season 1 on Netflix!  I wish they would put all the other seasons on there.

 

elsieisamoocow

@cmessamore I watch Friends nightly before bed! Also obsessed with Gilmore Girls, and are you so excited for the Will and Grace new season?!

car1a

Definitely bachelor/ette. DH gets into the show too if he's around, it sucks you in! It really is the same thing every season/episode, but hard to look away. 
We don't have cable but if I have the chance I can binge watch pretty much anything on food network (even Diners, Drive Ins and Dives) or House Hunters, Say Yes to the Dress, any of those types of shows!

cmessamore

@elsieisamoocow YES!! I can't wait!! I honestly feel like I "miss" Karen in my life!! She's my favorite!!

DuchessOfCambridge

Potential Hart of Dixie spoiler:

Im currently watching the episodes of Hart of Dixie where Zoe is pregnant. Because relevance. 

tashandma

I'm a Walking Dead watcher! I also love the Bachelor franchise. Oh, and my husband and I are currently binge watching Vikings which is pretty awesome too!

Daniep08

Ugh I'm stuck on Greys. I've tried quitting and I can't.....

rosalie12

We need to have a bachelorette thread when it starts! When is it coming on?

08-16-08jms

Totally not embarrassed, but I LOVE Chicago Fire. #teamseveride 

ShePersisted

Buffy the vampire slayer. I have all the 7 seasons on DVD and will rewatch and rewatch a 100 times and never get bored of it. 

kissthesky32

Another Bachelor/Bachelorette watcher here. Paradise is my favorite. I also wish they would do Bachelor Pad again. That show was hilarious. Cannot wait for Corrine of Paradise!

The only thing I'm embarrassed about watching is NCIS. I used to watch reruns nightly with my mom and it's sort of stuck around. I DVR it and will randomly binge my taped episodes.

Tourmalily

Not really a guilty pleasure, but I was stupidly obsessed with Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. My husband watched it with me and he enjoyed it but I was OBSESSED.

av2323

@Daniep08. I can't quit Grey's either.  I've tried and tried.  It's like I watch out of spite now.

randicap-2

I love love the Bachelor franchise. And will occasionally binge watch Hoarders for some strange reason. I think it makes me feel better about my pack-rat tendencies. 
@cmessamore I Love Psych. DH and I watch all the old seasons. Gus's facial expressions crack me up! 
@Tourmalily Also a fellow Dirk's Gently fanatic. But no one ever knows what I'm talking about when I mention it.

cmessamore

@randicap-2 yay!! My DH and I love every part of it! We own all of the seasons and watch it religiously! Lol

This.

Are You The One on MTV haha I absolutely love that show. My friends and I would get together every week and watch it. Now that I moved we contact each other about the show. Its so terrible but I can't get enough
