Stargate.

I've seen all of them minus Atlantis and some of Universe.
 
Since Survivorman is off the air until November 2012 there is only one show I watch, Mythbusters. Mostly digital recordings as the 5 others living in this house have other stuff they watch. Otherwise I do not watch TV, not sports or cooking or nothing. Survivorman and Mythbusters only. I normally have to much reading to do. Got to keep up with all of the new technology out there.
 
Not specific to "TV" guilty pleasures, but am I the only one who REALLY wishes that Netflix would let you turn off the "Recently Watched" list?

I can't really bring up Netflix when I have people over to the house, because I'm too paranoid about my late-night viewing habits being out on display! I have to plan ahead, and "watch" a handful of shows for a few seconds, just so that things like "9 Songs" aren't visible.

Yes!! I worry more about the kids than company, and I think there is a legitimate complaint to be had here. I've mentioned it before to a customer rep and he wasn't even willing to talk about it. Netflix is going downhill as far as I'm concerned. As soon as I find an alternative I can stream directly to my tv i'll be dropping them like a bad habit.

Just do what I do, own it.

Yeah I like chick flicks at 3 am, crying makes my chances of tear duct cancer reduced.

It looks like that fits right into guilty pleasures!

I still think it's a phenomenal deal for $8 a month (it blows Amazon Prime's offerings out of the water). I don't understand the lack of parental controls, though; there's some legitimately hardcore stuff on there, if you look hard enough. Or, if you look in my "recently viewed" list... ;)
 
Big Bang Theory (Or as SWMBO calls it "Sheldon"). That and Criminal Minds.

Yeah the price is pretty unbeatable... I wonder how long they're going to stick to their vow to not raise the prices again. That's what I think, that there should be more regulation. The way mine is formatted it shows a few selections from each category so my kids have to see the covers for all the horror and sex crap. I should sue those bastards.

Btw we know it's your wife your more worried about concealing your viewing habits from ;)
 
If you haven't seen it yet, check out "The Leauge". Available on Netflix. Just finished up season 3. FN cracks me up!!!

Nah, she just chuckles, rolls her eyes, and keeps playing on the netbook. OCCASIONALLY, she'll look up, say "well, that's pretty hot," and then I know it's going to be a good night!

I don't have sex crap on mine. Odd.

I have the same format, but mine's used mainly for kids shows.

How old are your kids?

You've got to look for it, it's all buried within the indie and foreign titles. I should start a thread elsewhere to continue this topic.

They are 5, 7, and 10. The like to watch some of the anime titles (its streaming through the PS3) and when they go down to those its right next to the "Horror" and "Gay and Lesbian Titles". Those didn't even used to be there. I want "Westerns". How do they put this thing together?
 
My Directv has a ton of porn in the channel guide. I even hid it from ourselves so we don't have to scroll through it.

Yeah even the titles are pretty obsene. Nothing to the imagination as to what the movie is about, pretty descriptive and then there IS the description.
 
not a big TV guy. i like to watch hockey, so i try to find a nice game in the evenings to relax in front of. two and a half men cracks me up. and i recently discovered a neat li'l local show here on channel 45 late sunday nights called 'beer geeks'. dude just goes to local breweries/brewpubs around the cities, drinks beer and talks to brewers, what could be better?!

I have the Anime sub heading as well.

Guess I have to dig a little deeper.
 
I just watched Hardcore Pawn for the first time last night. That show is more addictive than crack, but that may be due to most of the customers being crack heads.

Are you kidding? That family is retarded and the woman is just plain obnoxious. I love Pawn Stars, and I can tolerate Cajun Pawn Stars. Hardcore porn is every bit as fake, scripted, and obnoxious as that idiot Dog and he's convict family.
 
I watch nothing but the Packer games on the TV. Other than that I watch movies or am on the internet.

I do like Pawn stars and then tend to actually give you some background and historical information on many of the items being shown, but this is the guilty pleasures topic and that's exactly where Hardcore Pawn belongs. It is terrible, but I can't stop watching the idiots and morons trying to force and threaten their way to get the crap they bring in to be pawned.

I love scrolling through the porn offerings on Dish (When the kids aren't around). I just laugh at the titles and my wife gets pissed at me.

Some are clever and funny, but most are just crude. Remember when almost all porn titles were a parody of a real movie?

Best title so far goes to Ass Thirsty Vampires, it's a twilight knockoff
 
The other one is 16 and pregnant, because they are encouraging stupid kids to breed in hopes of being on tv.

"Ya know Butt-head, they should call this show I'm 16, and going to get pregnant.....that I would watch"

lmao, love those guys

That and the Jersey Shore. Snooki just makes me cringe...

The only time I've seen that show Snooki got punched in the face, which actually kind of made me want to watch more :O

Tonight, the Wife & I are going to dine on grilled chicken wings and homebrew as we watch the trainwreck that is Jersey Shore. I'm looking forward to it, it's like watching a NASCAR race of nothing but wrecks.
