I'm not too ashamed at what I watch but more like, how often I rewatch it.

I guess my Gordon Ramsay thing is closest to my guilty pleasure.

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares UK.

Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Home Cooking.

The F Word. (mostly for the turkey, pig and lamb parts... if they don't make you want kids and a farm I don't think anything will lol)

Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Christmas.

etc.

Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, the LOTR trilogy (is it bad that I own the regular DVDs and the extended editions for all three?) and Interview With A Vampire. I could watch those all day, every day.
Totally rewatching game of thorns right ow. It's not a guilty peasure it's a good show.

I guess I don't consider a lot of things guilty pleasures. I love LOTR, Game of Thrones, True Blood, Downton Abbey. I kind of considered Vampire Diaries a guilty pleasure I guess, but then I stopped watching it. Oh, and I guess Twilight was a guilty pleasure...yeah.

I like reading YA novels, a lot.

My favourite not-at-all-guilty-pleasure is the Outlander book series and it's going to be a totally epic TV series starting next summer. So incredibly pumped!!!

Anime is not a guilty pleasure. Anime is a part of life.
OMG I love anime! Spirited away is one of my fave movies, as well as whisper of the heart. I also love FMA, cowboy bebop, trigun (the priest was my fave character!) among many others. I also still watch power rangers (yes ... I am almost 32 years old and I watch power rangers xD )

I love those action movies too lol ... ESP the old king fu movies with Bruce lee, which I also watch with my OH for the same reasons.

I will admit that I am also a sucker for sweet and awesome on screen kisses like the one at the end of the movie penelope with max / Johnny and Penelope ... I actually have that scene bookmarked because the kiss is so awesome. My OH actually kissed me like that when he came back from being away last time :) :) and I have to say that it's awesome!!!

As far as TV goes I luv my law and order ... All the law and orders except the SVU one, I never liked that one. My fave detective was Briscoe and Det Green was my honey :). My other guilty tv was operation repo and I love shows like GHOST ADVENTURES and ghost hunters, a haunting, and my ghost story

Agreed! Watching the S7 finale right now... I can't believe it took me this long to start watching, but boy I'm glad I did. I've watched almost the whole thing in a couple weeks. It's great to have on while I'm drawing!

I don't consider anything I like a "guilty pleasure" really. True Blood is campy as hell but I love it and am not ashamed to talk about it! I guess I used to enjoy watching the rare episode of Jerry Springer or similar shows but now that I don't have a TV I don't do that. That's all I'd feel guilty about :rofl1:
Did you know that Jared (he was on Gilmore girls too ... Which I also love :) ) is from my home town :) another reason to love supernatural (not that we need one ha ha)

I also love ghost whisperer because Mel's relationship with Jim reminds me of mine with my OH (we fight the same way they do too!!). Also the resident evil series ... Oh! And Buffy the vampire slayer can't forget that, I am like totally in love with spike :/

Yup. I used to kind of look down on anime, didn't get that there was anything special about it. I knew nothing about it, then one day decided to watch Death Note. I was totally enthralled, watched tons more series and movies and now I'm a total addict. :D

No guilt, lol. But I don't tell a whole lot of people that if there's an ANTM, Face/Off, Bar Rescue, Tattoo Rescue (or any of that sort of show) marathon on, I will watch it. All of it. My day goes to waste.

I especially like Bar Rescue, though. Oh, or shows on I.D. Crime stuff is fascinating.

Ummm...... Sister Wives. *hides face in shame*

As for movies, anything involving food and/or drink. Ratatouille. Julie and Julia. Haute Cuisine. .... I will even watch documentaries on Netflix about pastry chefs, sommeliers.... it's pretty ridiculous. Especially since I myself hate to cook and really suck at it.

Oh yeah I admit I've gotten hooked on Kendra, Toddlers & Tiaras and Dance Moms before. It's such a train wreck, I just can't stop watching sometimes when it's on lol. I won't ever purposely turn these on though but if they're on TV and I happen to be scrolling through... yep.

As for my NON-guilty pleasures (I have no problem admitting my obsession)... Breaking Bad is my #1. I'm literally obsessed. I could watch that whole series again and again. Freaking amazing show and nobody could tell me otherwise. I have no shame in admitting I've gotten at LEAST 30 other people completely addicted too lol.

Oh and Nip/Tuck... I seriously LOVE that show and can't believe it took so long for me to see the whole series (which ended in like 2010 lol). Pretty much obsessed with this one too. It's my #2 to BB.

I watched all 8 seasons of 24 on netflix. And I think it only took me a month? LOL.. kind of ridiculous. It could be so ridiculously unrealistic at times but I got so hooked. Same with Grey's Anatomy. I watched, I think it was 8 seasons that were on netflix when I started, and I watched all of them pretty quickly.

I suppose I would have to put Grey's Anatomy into the guilty pleasure category for myself.

Steel Magnolias if we are talking movies...

Doctor Who.
My Little Pony.
All the anime.
Wes Anderson movies.

No shame here, though. None of these are a secret. The Grand Budapest Hotel comes out two days before my birthday and I'm dragging friends to see it. ;)
