TV Guilty Pleasures

**Pauro 76** · 11/02/2008, 8:30 PM

For any potentially shameful TV programmes that you secretly find enjoyable.

One of my female housemates is big into America's Next Top Model. It's really quite watchable, the bitching is always fun, the talent's alright. I'll leave it there.

Harry Hill's TV Burp
I can see how he can grate some people, but its quite surreal and often quite funny.

Right here for both of those shows. Manys a sunday spent watchin America's Next Top Model hungover with the girlfriend, have to say that I actually enjoy the show. How anyone wouldn't enjoy Harry Hill's TV Burp is beyond me to be honest.

I'll add Dog the Bounty Hunter to that list, although I don't know why

I cant get enough of "come dine with me".......I'd watch all the episodes in a row on a sunday...I have problems...

I've been watching the Womens Murder Club on TV3 recently but now it clashes with Heroes on 6 I have to drag myself away

Richard & Judy for me.

I've lost count of the number of times I've said to someone 'Oh yeah I saw something about that on... some chatshow, can't remember which one now, anyway...'

Come Dine With Me is good alright. I also like Masterchef, The Secret Millionaire and Eggheads, shows that some might also consider a bit naff.
How can Harry Hill be considered a guilty pleasure though? That show is genius.

Monday night is Mastermind, University Challenge then Masterchef.
I'm quite partial to a bit of America's Next Top Model too, use to watch it with the girlfriend and her best friend, until I was banned and it became girly night. Usually end up watching some of the repeats anyway.

playboy channel, lets be honest here.

I applaud your honesty.

I have been known to watch an odd episode of Goldenballs (not the playboy version, I might add)

In the Night Garden.

Started off as a quality time thing that me and my two year old used do together but he's starting to grow out of it now.
I still think it's great and wish they'd had kids TV like it when I was small ...actually Mary Fitzgerald on Saturday Mornings aside, there was no kids TV when I was small.

Soundtrack is excellent, uncomplicated story-lines ...very little story-lines at all in fact, just some random strange colourful creatures doing strange pointless carry on ...one of them's an obsessive compulsive who washes stones and then arranges them in a slightly spooky manner that's somewhat remenisent of the Blair Witch Project.

There's no heroes, no villians, no good guys versus bad guys -and consequently no fostering of in-group loyalty/out-group hostility in impressionable little minds -he gets plenty of that from pretty much everything else on TV.
