QOTW: What is your favorite guilty pleasure television show? I'm watching a What Not to Wear that I recorded on my Tivo tonight!! Finally, I may need someone to take over the check-in. My work schedule is getting so crazy that I keep letting this slide and I hate to! Any volunteers??

SarahP15 · February 2011

What is your favorite guilty pleasure television show? i admit i watch jersey shore. the drama is like a trainwreck - i don't want to watch, but for some reason i have to. my hubby is totally into it too. lol

TMDMJAOCT07 · February 2011

Favorite guilty pleasure show. I'm not sure if this counts, but the first one that comes to mind is "My Secret Addiction"

also, email me at tdav1180 at hotmail dot com (pms are so hit or miss right now) we'll chat about the check ins, maybe I can help you out.

Jordanandnumber2 · February 2011

Favorite guilty pleasure tv show is: One Tree Hill. I like it and E will sit through it with me making comments the whole time. He thinks it's silly.

mizrunzou · February 2011

Hi! I'm a newbie! I've been lurking for quite sometime...we had a loss in October at 8 wks, but another BFP in January. I had my first u/s Thursday where we saw a heart fluttering at 129 bpm So, I feel confident to finally "join" this board!

I am currently 6 wk 5 d with an EDD of 10/3/11. DH and just moved back to the city in August and we are currently in the Bucktown.

QOTW: What is your favorite guilty pleasure television show? Real Housewives. I'm obsessed - all cities, although I do have my favorites RHWoMiami starting soon..lol!

chubchub · February 2011

I'm also a big fan of the Real Housewives series. I think Beverly Hills has been my favorite so far.

mixrunzou -congratulations! Hope you have a happy&healthy 9 months.

DTNZ4Ever · February 2011

I love Jersey Shore, One Tree Hill & the new 90210. I'm a TV junky.

mmks · February 2011

SouthSideDrea:
Diners, drive-ins and dives is my favorite guilty pleasure! I love the show but I hate Guy Fieri, go figure!

Haha! DH and I like this show too...I agree that Guy with his hair is a little obnoxious! I'd love to have his job!

My guilty show is the Young and the Restless. I DVR Friday's episode and that usually catches me up for the week!

KChicago · February 2011

I love Biggest Loser and I have to admit this year I'm hooked on American Idol. I actually like what Steven Tyler brings to the show.....geez I can't believe I'm admitting that I like American Idol....

ChiTown Bridget · February 2011

Favorite guilty pleasure tv show: Real Housewives of Orange County, Jersey Shore and Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant.

jesusita2002 · February 2011

I would love to be added! My husband and I are expecting our first little one on July 12th, making me 19 weeks tomorrow! We'll find out on the 23rd whether we are expecting a little girl or boy and we live in Bridgeport. As far as "guily pleasure" tv shows go...I have to admit that I am a fan of Glee and Detroit 1-8-7...two completely different genres I know!
Look forward to getting to know you all!

mrs.lizzieb · February 2011

Sorry, I'm a little late with check-in. So I watch Jersey Shore and Real Housewives Embarrassed I haven't seen the Beverly Hills ones yet, but I've heard they're pretty good!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

LaSraOrtega · February 2011

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Sorry I'm a little late, my mom was in town visiting last week so haven't had a chance to log on yet...

What is your favorite guilty pleasure television show? My favorite show right now is Glee! I also love watching "19 kids and counting", although I don't agree with all of their beliefs/practices, I give them props for paying for everything on their own (easy to do when you have all that money, though).

Soon 2 B Mrs. Wells · February 2011

Congrats and welcome to the new mommies!!!

Guilty pleasure television shows: I have SO many. Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant/Jersey Shore (I have a secret crush on Pauly D) The Real Housewives, my latest one is Toddlers and Tiaras. I'm always floored at what those little girls go through.

Chris&Jillshow · February 2011

Hi- new to posting but been lurking for a while I'd love to be part of this group as well. I am due July 1st, 2011 with my first. We had the 20 week ultrasound last week, and are going to remain on team Green until delivery day! My hubby and I live in the North Center neighborhood.

Biggest guilty TV pleasure- where to begin?? The Bachelor. Every season I vow not to watch, every season I watch it anyway.

Temp170555000002207 · February 2011

Hi, I've also been lurking from time to time. I'm glad this board is getting more active.

I live in Wheaton, and we're expecting our first on May 8.

My guilty pleasure was Life Unexpected until it was canceled. I have been watching a lot of Teen Mom 2 and 16 and Pregnant.

I just put this one in my DVR! I am just blown away everytime i watch it!

mcericola12 · February 2011

QOTW: I feel like i have too many. Guilty pleasure would have to be most anything on the food network. I too am addicted to the Bachelor, as well as Grey's Anatomy.

Excited to see all the new mommies joining us.

DTNZ4Ever · February 2011

Oh thanks ladies for the reminder. I love Teen Mom and 16 & Pregnant. Total train wreck but love it. See total TV junky!

Welcome to all the soon to be mommies. You all are giving me the baby itch.
