TV Guilty Pleasures

[thesurlymermaid]

I watch Beverly Hills 90210 every day on Soapnet. Maybe I should just get a job, but you know, I have my whole life to waste....

And doesn't it make you feel better that you are not a 35 year old playing a teenager?

My guilty pleasure. And by guilty pleasure I mean deep shame, is that I have been pulled into the first season (oh yes, I heard first season in one of the promos) of Flavor of Love.

Or, in Andrea Zuckerman's case, a 75 year old.

What's Flavor of Love about?

the surly mermaid Flavor Flav, of Public Enemy, is looking for his next baby mama. He's indicated that he wants to father several more kids before he dies. In Flavor of Love VH1 searches nation wide to find 20 women who are big enough famewhores to pretend to fall in love to fall in love with. It's the most disgusting most anti-feminist thing I think I have ever seen on TV and I can't stop watching it.

Hey, I TiVo it! That way if I feel like several uninterrupted hours of Shelf Hair, The Cavern and "Her Mouth Looks Like a Cat's Anus," it's all right there....

Oooh, let me guess here;

Shelf hair: Brandon
the Cavern: Tori Spelling's ghastly Canyon of Doom (or her breast implants)
Her Mouth looks like a Cat's Anus: Kelly? I always thought she looked like a chipmunk, but that will do, too.

After mocking my friend endlessly for watching The Gastineau Girls and similar low-brow reality shows, I stumbled onto The Flavor of Love midseason and haven't missed an ep since. It's truly an addiction--every episode I say "This is the last one" and then someone will let him touch her bare ass or make out with him or spit on another girl (!) and I get pulled back in.

Sometimes I watch Star! (the Canadian version of E!), mainly for this awful, awful show called "Fight for Fame." I think they only made about seven episodes of it, but I find it hilarious. A bunch of wannabe actors (who are usually totally stuck-up) compete to get signed to a Hollywood agency by doing skits and reading monologues. Most of them are so over-the-top, completely desperate to impress the agency, they make me laugh. Nothing like seeing some sparsely-talented twit screech out, "NOOOOO, BABBBBYYY, DON'T LEEEEAAAVE MEEEE!" during an emotional scene, and falling to the ground in hysterics to show how very deep their acting is. I love camp like that. I wish it came on every day.

I still watch "Charmed" despite how awful it's become. On TWoP, the show's decline is blamed on many factors, but Brad Kern is the primary villain.

So TV1 started airing the episodes of my other guilty pleasure, "New York Undercover," after Michael DeLorenzo and Patti D'Arbanville-Quinn left the show, I decided to try watching them because I'd never seen them. They sucked so badly, I didn't get through more than two, but I watched long enough to catch Kern's name in the credits.

I can only hope his reign of terror ends when "Charmed" is cancelled.

This one is truly a guilty pleasure, because it is horrendous TV, and I know it when I watch it. But for some unexplained reason, I've gotten hooked on There and Back on MTV. I don't know why. Ashley Parker Angel is a tool, and the show is stupid. But for whatever reason, I'm oddly curious to know what happens with him.
