I just watched Nancy Grace's "Swift Justice" (DON'T LAUGH!) and I got to thinking ""gee, I really watch some bad tv during naptime.

What is your biggest guilty pleasure tv show?

I have a LOOONG list and it grows daily.

Btw, "Hoarders" FREAKS me out and I need to get up and bleach something immediately. I also cry while watching "Teen Mom" and "16 and Pregnant" on MTV. I thought getting pregnant at 38 was scary until THAT show came on.

What can I do next?

I'm truly embarrassed to admit this, but I DVR Teen Mom on Tuesday nights so I can watch it on Wednesday morning while I eat breakfast (the kids are at school)....not sure why these girls' crazy chaotic lives intrigue me so much, I even yell at them through the TV like their mothers...there, my shameful secret is out :-P

This post makes me laugh...it maybe hits a little too close to home! ;) I watch some really crappy reality TV, the list is long. My daytime guilty pleasure that I really don't like to admit is Dr. Phil. I don't watch it all the time, but sometimes it really does it for me! Oh and I love 16 and Pregnant too, along with I didn't Know I Was Pregnant and anything else that has freaky medical issues!

Ghost Hunters
Days of our Lives
Those are just 2 of them. My kids are all grown up and out on their own so I don't have to worry about shows unless my grandchildren are here and then it is always on the cartoon channels anyway when we do watch TV.

answers from Lincoln on

Your post cracked me up lol. I am with you. There are so many bad shows on that are really interesting. I tend to migrate to "Disappeared". That show where people well . . . disappear. No on can find them. It scares me. I'll be coming out of the grocery store at 8pm or something and think - what if someone snatches me!!! My husbands hates it. Says I need to watch more positive shows that don't get my mind thinking the worst of a normal situation. Investigation ID is another guilty pleasure. There are some bad people in this world. Don't want to ever cross their paths or people like them.

Oh and once I did watch Hoarders while eating lunch. Not a good idea. I got the willies and grossed out and couldn't finish my pizza.

Any and all ghost shows too!

Law & Order, SVU.. I like the two main detectives :) I maybe catch it once a week, I always forget its on, and usually treehouse is on the tv for DD. I like most crime scene shows and House, his attitude is awesome. I used to watch "what not to wear" and whatever the rescue fairy godmother to brides show is called, but I dont subsribe to TLC anymore. I make up for the lack of tv with great books.

I am beyond obsessed with the Vampire Diaries. You can watch the episodes online after they have aired on TV and even after watching it every Thursday night I will still watch the online episode over and over again until my weekly fix on Thursday nights. I actually have even recently gone and bought the books to the series that the show was loosly based on

I DVR them so I can skip commercials so I can watch during nap time. Of course now I can't stand commericals so "real time" TV makes me crazy!
