Sheesh! Where were you when I was single??? :wink:
Probably where I am right now, darn the luck -- just not involved in any sort of activity that would result in particular remorse. My theory is that if I'm generally well behaved in all other spheres of life, I can watch junk tv and/or read virtually anything without feeling any need for guilt.

Hmmmmm...TV guilty pleasures?

Doctor Phil (& sometimes Maury.)

But only for the snark value :P

In fact, there's a theory that Shill (as he's called on TWoP boreds) is rapidly turning into Maury -- hey, he had "fat babies" recently! Or maybe he's already passed Maury? LOL

Hey, as long as you don't watch "Judge Judy", you can still hang out here. :P

Since I didn't get HBO until last year, I watch Curb your
Enthusiasm with On Demand TV. It's nice because the
episodes aren't so long you have to tie up a lot of time
watching them and no commercials.

I haven't seen it this year, but last year I
was hooked on HBO's Big Love.

No current one, but for a long time, it was "Saved by the Bell."

Right now, my only regular TV watching is:

Heroes
Lost
MythBusters
Family Guy
South Park

Probably "Beauty and the Geek" although like SC I have to say I don't feel any particular guilt about.

I rather like train wreck TV!

I almost include the Simpsons, but I'm just not a regular viewer any more, and I do love Scrubs, too.

In the Guilty Pleasure realm, it's Rock of Love, Porject Runway and Top Chef

For can't miss, it's Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

And the agita-inducing Owlets (formerly Pops Chaney's agita-inducing Owlets) playing basketball. (And inducing agita).

And the Phillies. Who also induce agita. Except not so much.

And I wrote that before I read the last few posts. Not that I give two kitty sandwiches.

I don't think I'm guilty about anything media related. Hard to be when you'll still admit to loving Black Oak Arkansas. Ha! I will say that I'm a total sucker for anything on VH1 that has commentators. I guess that's my stupidest viewing.

Meerkat Manor fans:

Are you watching Orangutan Island?

Just curious. I didn't watch the Manor, but have caught an episode of the Island, and am intrigued, at least somewhat.

I'll add Days of Our Lives for spousal unit.

She's watching it on the DVR right now.

What a load of hooey.

Oh well, at least it's familiar, and continuous.

OK, now I have one.

Because Jack McCoy trumps Heidi, I had to watch the rebroadcast of Project Runway at 11:00 p.m., and while waiting for it, I found my guilty pleasure:

Make Me a Supermodel

I didn't see all of it, though, because I became fascinated by the Morgellons story on Nightline.

You have just described my viewing, some surreptitious, some out in the open. VH1 has perfected crap shows. They teeter on the edge of vomitous at times, but then reel you in, then teeter, then reel. It's great.
Well, then

Puppy Bowl

Puppy Bowl IV will be aired on Sunday, Feb. 3. I hope they have that tail-gate party again.

LOVE Keith Olbermann... Just tuning in for Worst Person in the World is worth the price of admission!

Boy, KO really does NOT like Bill O!
