My guilty pleasure TV shows are:

Dance Moms
Mob Wives
Basketball Wives.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager

It's awful. No really, it's so so bad. The acting: bad. The writing: bad. The editing: bad. After every episode I want to slap myself.

I also watch Grey's Anatomy religiously. My husband seems to think that should be a guilty pleasure, but that is quality television, dammit. And he's a reality TV junky, so he doesn't get to talk.

Oh wow, I couldn't get into Grays Anatomy. I don't like Meredith

I watch Toddlers and Tiaras. I can't help it. It's become a sick addiction. >___>

I used to sit around watching cooking shows. And then our TV box died! That was four months ago and no-one has bothered to get a new one yet. I have never been happier. >_____________>

I. LOVE. COOKING SHOWS.

The Food Network and Travel Channel are my go to channels... I love watching Chopped, Iron Chef America, Cupcake Wars, Anthony Bourdain...

You guys are all going to want to slap me in the face...but...Jersey Shore.

I HATE to watch it, but I HAVE to. I can't even explain it.

And like Plum, I hate to love Secret Life. I hate it so much, but I always have to know what's going to happen. Like, seriously Adrian, hands off Ricky! lol :p

Oh my gosh I watch that too and sometimes the things that comes out of those girls mouths...Luckily I don't have to watch it all the time but if I turn the show on it's game over lol.

But seriously, look at this;





*facepalm*

okay so it's kinda cute but just...still. haha

And don't even get me started on the makeup lol :p

Oh my god YES, EDEN WOOD!!

I can't help but love that child even though she's horrifying. Her little upturned nose kind of reminds me of a piggy, but like an *adorable* piggy that I want to squish and huggle all the time. It's no wonder she gets all those Grand Supreme titles!!

Did you see the season finale a few weeks ago? Holy cow those mothers were J-E-A-L-O-U-S of Eden!! And her jungle dance was so cuuute, maaan.

I know I shouldn't watch the show because it's just promoting all this pageant nonsense that leads to all kinds of issues with the moms and daughters (and I would certainly NEVER put my son in a pageant), but it's just so...addictive. Like a train wreck. I can't look away!

I've started watching Swamp People on Netflix and i tots like it. Back when I had cable, I used to like watching shows like Project Runway and similar reality ones with cooking.

My guilty pleasure is infomercials. I don't know why, but late night infomercials are fun. XD

I also like watching little kids tv shows or when i would have to pull all nights, i'd keep cartoon network on all night and catch stuff like Transformers and Bakugan in the early morning. Those shows were terrible but i watched em anyway.

So, I don't really consider the only two shows I watch trash... buuuut...

One is cheese tastically amazingly awesome... It's called warehouse 13 on the syfy channel, and I am head over heels in love with this show! It's so funny!

The other show is the only one that I can stand for "drama" or "reality" and that is Project Runway! Love love love it! I haven't been able to see all the seasons, but me and my mom used to watch it together when we could.

Also.. one other thing... I have started watching My little ponies, and to be honest... IT'S SO EPIC, I find it really really funny with a nice sprinkling of hidden things only adults will notice

I've heard quite a bit about My Little Ponies (who hasn't by this point?) and it sounds like one of those possible hidden gems because it can seamlessly appeal to multiple audiences. That reminds me of back in the early 90s when shows like Rugrats and Rocko's Modern Life were running, aimed at younger viewers. Both shows, however, we strewn with mature themes and concepts that one only understood with age.

After much urging from a few of my friends (mostly heterosexual male friends, in fact), I watched the new My Little Pony series... and I loved it.

It's all on YouTube for anyone who wants to watch it. Just look for the full title: "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."

I can provide a link to a great youtube account that I have been using to watch it.

Merc - It's a lot like Powerpuff girls, and Foster's Homer for Imaginary friends, since one of the directors from both their shows is the creator of MLP. It's got a lot of those thing that made those shows epic.

OMG, dance mom's is insane, there's this one girl named Maddie who's the star of the show and an amazing dancer, and all the mother's are jealous of this little girl and pick fights with her mom. I watch it on lifetime on Wednesdays.

I have to agree that she is adorable! But have you noticed the remarks these kids make to their parents sometimes? My mom would've slapped me and punished me if I ever said any of those things to her. haha

And I haven't watched the finale yet, and I don't have it recorded but i'll come across it sometime :p And it is just one of those guilty pleasures where you know it's bad to watch it but you just HAVE to.

No kidding!! I can't even imagine what would have happened if I acted that spoiled and bratty and rude to my mom and grandma growing up. I'm pretty sure I would have went to bed with blisters on my butt and no dinner, LOL! Some of the rooms of those little girls are incredible. It's hard to imagine what it's like to grow up so spoiled. My son has his own room (which I never did growing up) and I consider THAT a luxury. But to make the rooms into fairy princess castles full of tiaras?! Blech. These parents are nuts. =p

My brother and I love watching Jerry Springer together during the summer since we don't have school xDDD Also Steve Wilkos and Maury if we get up early enough. We've even talked about going on a road trip to watch Springer live. Fortunately we don't have cable, so we couldn't watch Jersey Shore or any of the other cable reality shows if we wanted to xP

When I do get to watch stuff on cable, the American version of Skins is a huge guilty pleasure. My friends keep telling me to watch the original version but I tried it once and I didn't like it for some reason o__o I thought I would because of the lack of censors but something about the production values bothered me. The American version was a lot more colorful and visually appealing. Or maybe it was just bad video quality because I was watching a .avi my friend torrented. I have no idea. I also really love Glee but I don't think that's even a guilty pleasure anymore, LOL. I love it wholly and unironically.

Isn't Steve Wilkos that guy that just yells at people on his show? Like if you are a bad parent and good for nothing, he is not afraid to tell you. If its the same guy i'm thinking of, he's freakin awesome. XD

Let's see.... I watch Dexter on Showtime (not Dexter's Laboratory.. But as in the cop that's a serial killer that kills serial killers).. It's really f*cked up (i couldn't think of a better word to describe it..) and all but my boyfriend and I love it

I also watch American Pickers, Picker Sisters, Cash and Cari, Pawn Stars, Man vs. Food, and Bizarre Foods

Dexter is the exact opposite of trash TV! Dexter is a masterpiece.

I just saw a gif of toddlers and tiaras and omg it was insane.

She was like "I don't like my mommy."

Cooking shows are about mine that is it. Or Big Brother and Survivor.



The new My Little Ponies I just can't get into... I prefer my Generation 1-4 Ponies so like back in the old old days. It might be because I didn't like the Power Puff Girls heh.

@Elly - Yeah. I think my parents would have taken every luxury I was ever given and been like, "that's it, you're on the road by yourself. Sit in the corner for the next 5 years" XD

@Kitty - I know right? These children....lol

@Siren - I lovelovelove Big Brother! It's a family affair for my family. My grandmother watches it and we gather around the tv and yell at Rachael for being a Rachress (or whatever names Raegan loved to call her I miss him lol).

Swine- Ahahaha. I agree, loved Raegan also wish he would have came back. Rachael is .. just something else.

Yeah, honestly, the first time I tried to watch it I stopped after the fourth episode 'cause it was just too freaky. But after I gave it a second shot I got sucked in.
