GTKY: Guilty Pleasure TV Shows

gsancho · June 2014

I don't normally do these, but I don't think it's been asked...plus, it feels SOOO SLOWWW on here tonight! Any TV shows that you'd consider a guilty pleasure? Anything your DH gives you the stink eye over when you turn it on?

gsancho · June 2014

I'm watching mine now....Forensic Files. And half of these damn episodes I saw 10+ years ago, when they first ran. I'm determined someone will kill me over my insurance. I also watch the Bachlor/ette, but that's mostly to make fun of it and to read the Reality Steve recaps. And the Real Housewives of BH, but I'm starting to get tired of those.

Autumray · June 2014

Degrassi! (I love old degrassi episodes) and The Guild (I dont know if its really a guilty pleasure I am just so nerdy lol)

wanderlust508 · June 2014

The Bachelorette! I really love watching it with my husband because he will make fun of it and make me laugh

I find it entertaining though, I love the drama!

Also watching Orange is the New Black season 2 on Netflix. I loved season 1 more but still enjoying it.

Mozzarella13 · June 2014

The ladies of London is my newer vice along with the real housewives...I will also admit to watching the Kardashians on bed rest

I used to watch criminal minds, but with hormones the nightmares were too much! Gotta keep it light

AnnaClaire256 · June 2014

I am obsessed with Orange is the New Black! DH and I loved the first season and binge watched the second season in like a week! It's sooo damn good!

I also can't help but watch a slew of reality TV shows. Keeping Up with the Kardashians, 19 Kids and Counting (they live in our town!), The Little Couple. But these are definitely not anything DH wants to watch! Luckily he doesn't really mind me hogging the TV. The other day I was watching a preview of the new season of KUWTK and DH said, "wait, kourtney is having another kid??"

Don't let him fool you....he is secretly keeping up with sooo many Kardashians!

We do both like to watch Naked and Afraid....man this post makes me feel like we watch too much TV!

gsancho · June 2014

@Mozzerella13 When I've been home sick, I feel like the only shows on midday are Criminal Minds or CSI Miami

theholmanherd · June 2014

I have 4 haha

1. Boy Meets World (DH likes it, but we've watched it 1000 times because we have all the seasons)
2. Law and Order: SVU (DH hates this show. He doesn't like anything involving people being raped)
3. Desperate Housewives haha
4. The Office (He loved the show, but it's sort of a comfort show for me, so I re-watch it all the time)

P.S. Unrelated, but the OCD in me hates that I don't have a 5th. I literally searched to see if there was a 5th I could add.

Tiko99 · June 2014

Right now I'm into Life Below Zero, but also like The Little Couple, Sister Wives (omg I can't believe I said this out loud lol), The Cosmos and can't believe I have to wait a year for Game of Thrones!

cookinggirl15 · June 2014

My comfort show is everybody loves Raymond!

BunnyBerry · June 2014

We chose not to get a TV or cable, but somehow it hasn't had the intended result because we end up getting into guilty pleasure shows online.

Criminal Minds, 16 and Pregnant (DH has starting getting into this too! I think the simplified voiceovers work for his English-as-a-second-language status), and for me, anything ostensibly historical yet dramatic - The Tudors, Rome, Vikings.

Biggest guilty pleasure - Stargate, all iterations and the movies.

And pleasure for which we feel no guilt whatsoever - This Old House!! Our fav. That annoying Kevin is starting to grow on us.

megrae12 · June 2014

Mine is Marriage Boot Camp. It's sad how much I love that show!

kushie77 · June 2014

Shows that I watch that make H groan, roll his eyes and leave the room

1. Sister Wives

2. 19 kids and counting

3. Say Yes to the Dress

4. Queer as Folk on Netflix

KT416 · June 2014

We don't have a cable either, but I stream online too. I don't really watch too many reality shows, and have been trying to give up the ones I did like American Idol, DWTS, etc.

My guilty pleasure lines are more along the lines of ABC Family type shows like Melissa & Joey, Baby Daddy, Hart of Dixie, etc. etc.

I really need to find a new series for the summer though for rough IF days. I really like Undateable so far, but maybe a I'll pickup a netflix series of something

lebradford · June 2014

My guilty pleasure show is 19 Kids and Counting. I'm not religious and I'm pretty liberal, so they're pretty much my exact opposites, but I really like it.

I used to like Sister Wives as another guilty pleasure show, but I think it might upset me now with the one infertile wife and the other wives popping out babies. I can't do it.

AnnaClaire256 · June 2014

@lebradford‌ We actually know the Duggars because we live in the same town. DH used to be a volunteer firefighter (so are several of them) and we met them that way. We don't share their a lot of their beliefs but they are honestly the nicest people you could ever meet. Especially Michelle! Thought you might want to see our invitation to Jill's wedding!

wishiwaspreggo · June 2014

Guilty pleasure shows we watch together: Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise (Can't wait!!!), Real World, Catfish, and American Idol.

Guilty pleasure shows C makes fun of me for: The Simpsons, Family Guy, and The Office reruns (The Office is my comfort show, too!)

Guilty pleasure shows I make fun of C for: Melissa and Joey, Roseanne, Full House, Saved by the Bell, and True Tori.

athlete010688 · June 2014

That's cool @annaclaire256!!

The only show that I have DVR'd currently is Switched at Birth. I did get DH into that show. We watch it together on Mondays.

He DVR's a lot of TV, so I end up watching a lot of his shows. We do watch Naked and Afraid. We go in spurts in what we watch. I used to watch Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings.

That's cool! Yeah, I disagree with them on a lot of things, but I feel the same way. They seem so genuinely nice.

CarSaidYes · June 2014

I love those murder solving documentaries and keeping up with the Kardashians. I already know if those shows are on we are watching tv in separate rooms lol

ky29 · June 2014

I have quite a few.. but I love nights when DH isn't home, because I can watch Full House! That's about the only show I like that he refuses to watch. Oh and Dance Moms.

KristenG2011 · June 2014

Thankfully I was able to talk my DH into getting a DVR...that way I can watch all my shows when he is busy doing something else. Plus you can fast forward the commercials which is even better.

I love Bravo! It is my go to channel of reality TV...OC Housewives (I think cause I live in the OC..just fun to watch). Also on my DVR.. the Bachelorette...The Little Couple....The Challenge and True Tori. I think the only non-reality TV show I watched was Resurrection when it was on.

rella22 · June 2014

Anything reality! Although Friends is on my tv everyday from 3:30-5

jencity9 · June 2014

Bachelor/Bachelorette and definitely anything in ID like "stalked" and "deadly women". I haven't seen it in a while but I get hooked on "what not to wear" and for a while I was always watching the kardashians.

YayaFamily · June 2014

Love this post!

Gossip Girl, when it was on, would elicit a "XOXO" in a high pitched girly voice from another room.

Kardasians: cue DH's exit from the room as he rambles on about me turning my mind to mush, or something like that...

He can sit through Grey's Anatomy and Scandal with very little complaint though!

aves0708 · June 2014

I've been watching Gossip Girl on Netflix. That usually gets a side eye from DH. @YayaFamily I also get the "XOXO" in a girly voice from DH haha

I don't really watch any reality TV, but a couple other of my guilty pleasures are Beauty and the Beast and Four Weddings. DH won't admit but he likes the Four Wedding show..he's always making comments about what the brides are doing...

ktupiak · June 2014

mine is probably supernatural...but than any of the ABC Family Channel shows like pretty little liars and make it or break it in my husband hates them

CML11 · June 2014

We watch far too much TV! Here's the list!
24 (new season yay!)
House of Cards
Scandal
Orphan Black
Modern Family
Alaska the last Frontier
Once

I feel like I'm forgetting some but it's probably all MH car restoration, crab and gold shows that I don't actually watch.

Oh and I'm on my own for Grey's Anatomy.
Sounds like a lot, but we've only seen 1 movie in the theater in the past 3 years. So it's kind've a money saver!

Kcheese · June 2014

We watch a ton of tv, but DH won't watch any of my CW or ABC family shows. I fell in love with Reign! Also, the Fosters, Switched at Birth, &'probably anything else on those channels.

jjgrl55 · June 2014

Every permutation of 16 and Pregnant, Teen Moms 1, 2 and 3, and all the specials they run for those shows. I still can't explain why watching 16-year-olds get knocked up fascinates me much more than it bothers me.

Also, and this is a BIG guilty pleasure.......I watched all of the Flavor of Love shows (anyone else remember????) and all of the spin-offs (I Love New York, Charm School, I Love Money) and actually.......oh man, this is embarrassing.....bought the first season just to make DH watch it. It was really cheap, I swear!!!

DH often tells me he will never understand how someone so smart can watch such dumb TV.

borntorun17 · June 2014

Any real housewives franchise. I love to analyze how messed up they are and express (to no one in particular) how I would handle the situation and who is right and who is wrong. I feel like they are all my friends
