What's Your Guilty Pleasure?

Having stumbled across "Hell's Kitchen" last week, I found myself tuning in again this past Thursday. The show features a Satan-like Chef Gordon Ramsay, who bullies and abuses a misfortunate cast of hopeful chefs-to-be. I generally steer well clear of reality series but watching the expletive-fueled tirades and the shrinking, clueless contestants is, well, entertaining.

Perhaps it will wear off and I won't be surprised if it does. But it got me to wondering: is there a TV show that you're not particularly proud to admit you enjoy?

Family Guy, my wife hates it but I can't get enough. Even the reruns make me laugh.

I'm proud to admit i like all the shows I like, but the one that most fits here would be Kyle XY. It's kinda like a Sci-Fi teen drama (although it's been cancelled after this season, unfortunately).

Currently it's:
Friday Night Lights (season just ended)
How I Met Your Mother
Prison Break
Terminator TSCC
Supernatural
The Office
Kyle XY
Chuck

It's gotta be Seinfeld for me. None of my friends think the show is funny but I can't get enough. They're all into That 70's Show, which I can't stand.

I agree, Seinfeld is WAY funnier than 70s Show.

The two shows that I still watch even though they have been canceled which are the only two that would fit here are She Spies and Cleopatra 2525 which I am proud to say are great shows.

Cleopatra 2525 was an awesome sci-fi action show which for a show that was mostly 30 minute episodes did a great job of telling a continuous story. The show had great action, pretty good acting, good special effect (for the time), and a decent story. Sadly the show lasted only two seasons and now everyone looks at as really bad graphics and a rushed story. The show starred Jennifer Sky, Gina Torres (Zoe from firefly if anyone doesn't know), and Victoria Pratt.

She Spies while seeming to be really stupid at first glance actually was a tv show master piece in my opinion. For those who have seen Airplane, the greatest disaster movie of all time, the show pretty much was that movie but using the spy genre. That to me was complete comical genius and to top the show off 3 beautiful hotties who appear in every episode in skin tight or skimpy clothing: Natasha Henstridge, Kristen Miller, and Natashia Williams.

The Office and Family Guy are the only shows I watch regularly without flipping the channels halfway through the show.

Mine would be 'My Own Worst Enemy', yes I know its cancelled but I like spy theme shows so now I've switched to watching Chuck which I find pretty amusing.

I watch wrestling even though it's pretty much crap. It's as funny as hell and ridiculously entertaining to me.

If you like Hell's Kitchen? Check out Kitchen Nightmare's. Chef Ramsay goes to a struggling restaurant and helps them turn it around. The owner and him always butt heads and the owner usually cries, explodes or has a breakdown. Each episode is at a different restaurant.
I like them both
