Title: TV guilty pleasure lately
Post by: Demosthenes on February 01, 2008, 03:39:48 PM
Lately I've been watchening Charmed.  TNT runs 4 episodes a day though, and Tivo grabs all of them.

I can't keep up.

House.

I started watching it last year when my niece was here and just couldn't miss the episode.  Damn her.  I fell in love with it.  Received season one and two for the holidays.  The wife could take it or leave it when I was TIVO'ing and watching.  But after sitting down from the start she's now hooked, and pissed that season four isn't out on dvd.  Of course season four isn't over yet.   :-P

Oh yeah I had to go buy season three last week to try to catch her up.   :-D

But I did find a great resource yesterday while looking for episodes on line.

It's divx videos streamed on line of loads of old TV shows and movies.

Ivan is probably the only one here these days that would remember Fireball X-L5.

Yeah, I won't let the little dude watch Barney, Blues Clues, nor Teletubbies.
Title: Re: TV guilty pleasure lately
Post by: dcrog on February 01, 2008, 05:14:34 PM
I think the Teletubbies should be banned from any home.  Or at least the ones where you would like the child to speak like a normal human being.

And I also watch Hizouse.

i've never seen house, mainly because everyone i know who has ever seen it has become addicted to it.  same with stuff like american idol, which i've also never seen.  people take these shows way too seriously.  it freaks me out.

I am a big fan of Lost, Chuck, L&O:SVU, The Office, My Name is Earl and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

But my guilty pleasure is Extreme Home Makeover. The good part about that is that I get two good looking girls to come over and watch it with me every week.

I stream SG1 at work and "watch" it while working.  It's one of those shows where you can follow it even if you're not looking at the video all that often.

These two are my current favorites.  I'm all caught up on Weeds, but that's another one of my favs.

SG1 is great! Or, was. My favourite eps are "Urgo" and "Window of Opportunity".

Sesame Street, Max and Ruby, Teletubbies, The Fairly Odd Parents

After 9PM, we watch Brett Michael's Rock of Love.  If that's not a guilty pleasure, I'm not sure what is.  The GF has taken up Flavor of Love 3, but I just can't commit to that crap anymore.  But I have watched the first 2 episodes so far...

I miss out on plenty. I don't think I'd even watch Lost if given the chance.

I'd second that. It started strong then faltered....
My guilty pleasure?
Wrestling. :-(

The new season of Lost has been surprisingly strong, so if you gave up sometime in season 3 it might be time to take another look.

I was wondering if anybody else followed the WWE. I'm a Cena fan myself, looking forward to WM24.

The Big Show/Mayweather fight should prove interesting. I hate Mayweather with a passion.

It should be interesting indeed. I don't mind Big Show, he's a shoe-in to win.

The previews they have been showing with the Big Shows fist next to Mayweathers head is insane. For one fist to be as big as the whole guys head. I hope Mayweather can take a hit from one of those.

On another note, the Sarah Connor Chronicles ended with kind of a fizzle yesterday. Damnable writers strike.

I agree with Tprime. Last night I found myself watching Biggest Loser, and I still don't know why.
