Oh, and my other guilty pleasure: Nikita. I'm going to keep talking about how fun that show is until someone listens to me, dammit.

I'm thinking of starting a band called Ben Folds Fault.

USA and SciFi are home to guilty pleasures. Burn Notice, White Collar, Eureka, Warehouse 13... All pretty bad shows with at least two horrible actors, no significant overall plot even though they do a sad attempt at one and, damn it, ever so much stupid charm.

The Sing Off is fucking AWESOME, and in no way will I feel guilty for loving every minute of it. Now, some of the nasssssty dirty thoughts I have about Shawn Stockman... I am pretty sure some of THOSE are illegal in several states.

"America's Next Top Model"? Anyone? Anyone?

*bows head in shame*

Hey, Vampire Diaries is genuinely good! I keep explaining to my sister how the marketing is just to lure people in, and the "Catch VD" slogan is admittedly unfortunate. If anyone deserves an Emmy, it's these kids, and they nominated way worse "real" shows.

I have planned to quit watching Ringer a couple of times, but then I actually watch the show and it's fun, so I keep watching. The week before last, the ending made me excited, and then this week with the Logan Ecchols of it all.

I also love my Gossip Girl. Love isn't strong enough, I cherish it. That show gets so cracked out, but I cannot quit it because those kids are so pretty and unrealistic and I love reading the TWOP recaps afterward (They are hilarious, I love that Jacob guy).

I loved Supernatural, but the sixth season committed the sin of being BORING. The Winchesters are still pretty, and I'm probably going to tune in for the upcoming Charisma Carpenter/James Marsters episode.

Apparently, I am writing a dissertation about the subject of guilty pleasure TV. Now I will carry on with my lurking.

I'm enjoying 'Ringer', despite SMG. (She was the one actor I really disliked in Buffy). It's just so 80's tv movie! I used to love those, with their Meredith Baxter Birneys and their Linda Purls.
Plus it has Logan Echolls, Eyeliner Man, Hornblower - what's not to love?

I must admit, it makes me a tad nostalgic to see Gellar trot out all her old acting mannerisms again. Though I did give a little cheer when she resisted season 7's Armclutch To Collarbone of Extreme Anxiety, in a moment of emotional distress last episode.

I still enjoy 'Supernatural', even when it's bad it's still got the pretty, and when it's good, it's a whole lot of fun. I especially enjoy the fan-service (and -baiting, occasionally).

I haven't watched Ringer yet but I can't say I miss SMG's angry crossed arms or sad hands. Is there anyone around with magic shiny hair for her to constantly touch a la Dawn?

I love Gossip Girl, Pretty Little liars and Project Runway as far as trashy telly is concerned but word to whoever said Vampire Diaries is actually good. It's way more consistent than True Blood and actually less trashy. No other show blows my mind with plot twists on such a regular basis, and everyone in it is SO PRETTY.

My biggest guilty pleasure is UK X Factor. I tried to watch the American version but it just wasn't as demented. My housemates and I literally have rituals built into our lives now around our obsession with this actual trash. We've made our yearly predicitions and will no doubt go meet some of the eliminated contestants at whatever Gay bar they show up in. Last year when one of the contestants was caught on camera whispering "think of how much pussy you'll get" to the winner Matt, it MADE MY LIFE.

I have recently decided to own the fact that I enjoy Gene Simmons Family Jewels. He is so ugly I find it mesmerizing, I kinda love Shannon Tweed, and the kids are funny. I used to watch because I was spellbound by the hypocrisy: Gene Simmons espouses a playboy, bang the bridesmaids lifestyle, but clearly has a satisfying domestic relationship, excellent homelife, and is faithful. Well, it turns out he was still banging other women and his family was as deluded as I originally thought. Ugly sleaziness coming and going and yet I CAN'T (won't) LOOK AWAY. Also, there is a special glory in someone as repellant as Gene Simmons botoxing his forehead to dingy alabaster and watching his gorgeous partner's face contort as she tries to manoeuvre around the botox and surgeries to show an emotion.

American Horror Story and, like Jelinas, America's Next Top Model. Don't judge me! It's bad for me, but I watch anyway. They're both deliciously trashy-- so bad, and yet so good.

Oh man, this is my post. I love "Revenge." I wrote the "American Horror Story" off as crap based on the pilot, but I keep watching it anyway.

I originally thought "The Vampire Diaries" was a lame attempt to cash in on the "Twilight" craze. I was so, so wrong. It is so damn good! I'm burning through the first season on Netflix.

So Jason Dohring is on "Ringer"? Well, damn, now I have to watch.

And I agree with KatSings and Lwae - there's no reason to feel guilty about watching "The Sing-Off." It's on a different level than the other reality competitions.

Dustin's review was only wrong because he considered all of those amazingly horrible things a reason not to watch the show. It's intentional camp and I love it.

It's true, Robert. And yet I, too, continue to watch. I can't fucking stop. -- DR

I love Supernatural and I don't care who knows it. When it's funny, it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. When it's dark, it's genuinely dark. And it's the cheapest series on God's earth, with its monsters in human form and all its scenes of people dying offscreen and someone squirting blood on the wall. (And its barfy demonic expulsions. Those are fucking tragic.)

LOVE IT.

I'm ashamed of my love for Big Bang Theory, though. I know I'm supposed to hate it, so I never cop to that one unless the other person does it first.

I love me some Supernatural and am now hooked on Revenge. Will now have to check out these other shows too. Damn you Ms Robinson. Damn you straight to he-wait, did you say Logan? See ya.

I must have no class, because all my favorite shows are Guilty Pleasures...Burn Notice, Supernatural (of which I own every episode from every season so I can watch them in the off season). And now Revenge. I love seeing jerk offs get going down.* Now I must see American Horror, thanks to this list. I blame you.

*dirty

Another Supernatural fan here, and I'm not even female. (Although that is one of the most misogynistic shows out there. Every female character staying longer than one episode dies.) I'm a sucker for supernatural stuff.

Mixing supernatural + crime procedural should be a slam dunk, and I don't remember any shows that really pulled it off or even tried before this. It makes me wonder what Grimm is going to turn out like.
Been done already. It's called Lost Girl and runs one Showtime. Pretty good dialogues in this one. Gives off a certain Buffy vibe, without the lead actress being as terrible as SMG.

Thanks FabMax, I'll have to check it out.

One more quick Supernatural link, because it's spoiler-free and a pretty good indication of how much fun this show can be (it's an outtake from one of the earlier seasons:)

Also, this show is the reason Asia's "Heat of the Moment" is my ringtone. Anyone who's seen "Mystery Spot" knows exactly why.

Caitlin, don't worry- you're not the only one who's relatively fond of Jacob's TWOP recaps.

I love how The Good Wife is a guilty pleasure because your mom watches it. It's decently plotted, well written, and wonderfully acted, with some awesomely soapy moments. Everything Revenge is not.

So, Logan's finally on Ringer? Do I have to go back a couple episodes, or just watch this week's?

Surely Criminal Minds makes the list. I love that show but even I cringe and wince basically every episode, especially when I can spot repeated sets a mile off( I watch it a lot, okay. A lot. reruns too).

But it has Garcia(who is just fun, even if her whole shtick is so tired now) Morgan, who is just adorable, but most importantly it has The Guub and it has Prentiss. And they alone, are enough to make a show.

this is the first time around here I've ever heard anyone talk about supernatural with anything other than contempt. its one of the show I look forward to the most and I don't think of it as a guilty pleasure at all.

Leverage with Timothy Hutton and his robin Hood band of quipsters is a fun guilty pleasure

How can Supernatural be a "guilty pleasure" after they had the boys impersonating Horatio Caine, complete with scene-stopping shades?

Any show that does that gets a permanent pass, I believe. Besides it's funny, interesting and serves up generous portions of both beefcake and cheesecake.

+1 on The French Mistake episode for a brilliant take on a twist that turns up in written SF pretty regularly, but rarely visual media.

I'm with you jelinas. I watch ANTM e'ry week.

And while I don't watch any of these, I enjoy clips from The Sing Off and might put it on the DVR rotation. And Logan Echolls, you say? I caught one minute of Ringer and it almost made me gag, but I might try for Dohring.

I love Supernatural unabashed. I may have started watching for the attractive people and jokes, but I really did stay for the plot.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I'm a sucker for Lisa's tiny dog. He should have his own show. Don't judge me.

Please. No more vampires. just...argnsbnwndfbw

bluh!

I enjoy "American Horror Story" and "Revenge" and am not the least bit guilty about either one.

Jessica Lange is fucking awesome and Frances Conroy is not far behind.

And Madeleine Stowe is pretty damn awesome, too.

That Sarah Michelle Gellar show is still on?

I'll catch part of The Sing-Off occasionally because of the aforementioned Folds and because those groups do come up with some creative and entertaining arrangements. That's my biggest problem with Idol and its ilk: the arrangements of the songs (many of which I didn't enjoy much in the first place when they were done well) are simply not enjoyable music to me.

American Horror Story lost me a bit with that third episode, but I'll stick with it. They better kill off everyone in the season finale, though, if they want to keep me around any longer.

As I've said on Pajiba before, Degrassi is my big guilty pleasure. Now why don't I feel any guilt whatsoever about it?

I don't currently have a filth pleasure show, but I'll tell you what my biggest one was. Moonlight. Hot damn, I loved me some Alex O'Loughlin on that show. He was pretty but dumb. Oh so dumb. But PRETTY.

HA. Check out that typo, you guys. iPad corrected my misspelling of "guilty" as "filth" and I failed to proofread. That's probably fitting.

I LOVE Revenge. I've been an Emily VanCamp fan since Everwood and she's really showing her skills.

Pretty Little Liars is another favorite, it's so teen drama/soapy, but it sucks you in. I adore Hanna Marin.

What is a guilty pleasure for me is 'The X Factor'. Either flavour.
Because they do seem to put people with mental issues through to the filmed auditions just so we can all point and laugh at their deluded asses. Also, by many accounts the winners are decided in advance, so it's a cheat too.
Though I actually watch for the good performances and the occasional feel-good factor, I feel I shouldn't be watching at all. Hence, guilty pleasure.

I love love love Revenge! Oh so silly...but oh so good! The Hamptons...the Emily VanCamp, the others. Fun. And on a Wednesday night. So glad I'm not alone.
