Your Guilty Pleasure TV Show

[FLMountainMan]

I left my tv behind for my most recent move to increase my productivity - I watch The Office online, but that's it.

From my tv days, though, I loved:

Project Runway - felt pretty gay for liking it, NTTAWT, but it was interesting

Cheaters - this show is trash at its finest. Breathtakingly stupid people, insane confrontations, it was great. What other show has had its host stabbed on camera during the hostile boarding of a speedboat? It's awesome.

+1. My wife got me into PR a few years ago and now I'm hooked.

Speaking of which, there was a good episode 1-2 weeks ago during which the contestants had to design an "outfit" for Tiki Barber. Watching them attempt to design -- and then hand-sew -- men's tailored clothing was fascinating. One of them even noted that she couldn't believe how a bunch of "little old Italian men" sit around and do this stuff all the time.

Of course, throughout the episode I was spouting off to my wife about cavassing vs. fusing and how difficult it really is to make a well-made suit, shirt, etc. My hope was that this episode would help her understand better why I invest $$$ on better quality garments.

I don't know how convincing I was, but it was one of the better episodes of PR to date.

Unfortunately I have enjoyed an episode or two of "Cavemen" and ABC's "Dirty Sexy Money".

I knew one of the contestants on the original 'Survivor', and kind of got hooked onto that for awhile....

Not having cable, we've been slowly working our way through 'The Sopranos'.....

Ugly Betty. Girlfriend loves it, I started watching it with regrets and actually like it now.

Cool. What does he do now? Does he ever get annoyed by people recognizing him? Does he consider himself an "actor"? Or did he just quietly go back to a life of obscurity? I've read that some reality show contestants do consider themselves actors, and try only to socialize with other reality show contestants, because real celebrities won't walk to them

Guilty Pleasure TV:

The Girls Next Door, Sunset Tan, E True Hollywood Story, Behind the Music

and my all-time fave (although I don't really feel guilty about it!) -

BAYWATCH

 

[bcate3]

nothing guilty about top gear; that's good entertainment. problem is i never know when it's on since it doesn't seem to have a regular time slot.

i admit, anytime i surf by the real housewives of orange county, i stop to watch. some interesting depiction of materialism and youth obsession on that show.

 

[Reggs]

The Girls Next Door

I watch it more to see Hefner though.

 

[spertia]

House Hunters.

It was a she. She became the first reality uberbitch, f***** over her employer (who had given her a sabatical to be on the show), got a Nike commercial and ended up suing the producer of the show, Mark Burnett. I have no idea what she's doing now.....
