TV Guilty Pleasures

[huntergrayson]

I've never quite gotten into Spongebob, but my friend is hooked.

I hear it's very big among stoners, though. Uh, not that she or anyone here is, of course.

When it comes to cartoons, though, Fairly Oddparents is my guilty pleasure and addiction. I watch episodes that I've already seen! I don't care! It's so good!

Spongebob, FOP and Danny Phantom. Love them all. It is easy to get away with watching them when you have a five year old.

Patrick could be the best cartoon character of all time.

Ah yes, how could I have forgotten about the Fairly Odd Parents? Or as the girls call it "Timmy Turner". You're right, that's a pretty good show. There are days when I feel like Wanda, and even more days when I feel like Cosmo.

I suppose another guilty pleasure is that I'll watch Mr. Rogers' Neiborhood or Sesame Street if they're on. They hypnotized me as a toddler, and they still do now! Plus, Sesame Street has had a lot of really cool celebrity hosts (Liam Neeson and Michael Stipe spring to mind). And Mr. Rogers has the same effect on me that Bob Ross does. Like a tranquilizer dart.

I don't consider Spongebob a guilty pleasure. Any show that makes a Toulouse Letrec (I know I butchered the spelling on that one) joke doesn't deserve "guilty pleasure" status. In that vein, my mom and I are both anticipating the release of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain on DVD next week.

My guilty pleasure now that summer is here and I can't find work is Maury. I love how utterly cheesy it is.

In that vein, my mom and I are both anticipating the release of Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain on DVD next week.

Animaniacs? Pinky and the Brain? Eeee!

And yes, the signature under my avatar did come from Pinky and the Brain, why do you ask? The other option was "My life is a buffet of grotesque choices".

Pinky & the Brain?! I used to sing the "Shiny Pants" song at all hours of the day and night to piss off my parents.

And Catscratch and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is only on in my home because I have small children... yes, yes, blame the children

[thecupcakekid]

I love Foster's! Eduardo is my favorite character on tv now, along with Carl from Jimmy Neutron. That show is so adorable. But as for real guilty pleasures. Stargate SG-1. And Atlantis. I don't have tivo so my Friday nites are planned around those two shows. I tell my friends I'm just busy, but they know it's something lame. Just not how lame.

[kateln]

Animaniacs on DVD? Yes! I love the "Great Big Universe" song!

My guilty pleasure? "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy", I'm 28, with no children and I love this show.

Okay. No one will be able to top this. I *have* to watch "Christian Celebrity Showcase" on TBN every Thursday evening. It's a repackaged version (3 10-minute interview segments per half-hour show) of the old "A Date with Dale [Evans]" show that ran forever on TBN. I love, love, love the "old-school" guests and Dale's sweet style ("You just go ahead and cry, honey!"). I just have to see it every week. They pre-empted it last week to show Scary-Ass Jan Crouch and her son giving a tour of all the various TBN facilities around the word and it was puke-inducing yet fascinating all at the same time. It did not rock like Dale does (did), however. She ROCKED.
