For the past couple of weeks I've been watching I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here
and you're welcome to judge me. It's been amusing this year, kiddo likes it and I think I'm in love with Gino D'Acampo.

What's your guilty TV pleasure? And how the fuck are you?

Gilmore Girls
Without a doubt.
My mother watches I'm a Celebrity. Every year I am shocked anew. She doesn't normally watch Big Brother or X Factor or any of those votey things, but then all of a sudden I hear her speaking with alarming familiarity of "Oh, and Biggins said this... Jordan said that..."
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 9:19, Reply)

I stopped watching BB years ago
I only ever watch the audition stages of X and BGT etc because I like watching people make fools of themselves. And I didn't watch Celeb last year because I didn't have the foggiest who most of them were.

I only watch the auditions too
but I'm starting to feel guilty.
Some of them really need help.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 9:25, Reply)

The build-up of certain acts and the formulaic 'It's three yesses' celebrations really grate on me
but it's compulsive viewing.

yes! Gilmore Girls for me too.
It's so cosy and comforting.

Guilty

Don't Tell the Bride
Is that the BBC3 one? I quite liked that, just cos the blokes were all crap but pulled through in the end.

Dating in the Dark
fucking crap, but is amusing as hell to watch the bit when they get a chance to see each other, one at a time. Blokes reaction is usually "yeah, she's quite tasty". Woman's reaction "god, I don't find him attractive, despite the fact that he was basically my dream guy before I saw what he looked like"

*judges, very harshly indeed*
You've been watching WHAT?

My guilty TV pleasure is Midsomer Murders. I KNOW it's twee, middle aged, middle class codswallop but whenever I'm channel surfing (in itself quite a rarity) and I see it's on, I find myself watching. There was an episode where someone was trying to sabotage some fucking village gardening contest. It really is that lame, and yet, sat in my grotty East End flat with its gasworks backdrop, the smug country village life holds a strange appeal.

And I'm fine thanks mate, you?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 9:39, Reply)

it's great, is Midsomer Murders.
Proper rainy afternoon TV.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 9:45, Reply)

like Poirot and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
But those aren't guilty pleasures. I'm not the least bit ashamed of watching those. Midsomer Murders I am, due to its unremitting shitness.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 9:51, Reply)

fucking love Poirot
great to read as well
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 9:56, Reply)

Ah, it appeals to my voyeuristic side
and I like a few of the people on their this year. Chill the fuck out man, it's not like I'm subscribing to Take a Break and Heat magazine.

I'm pretty good thanks. Finally got things moving with social/agencies/solicitors/schools and trying to arrange Christmas visits with various wings of family. All this grown-up shit still scares the crap out of me but at least I'm actually doing it now.

is DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER.

I really do wonder if there's ever been a better show. I thought I was alone in this until it was unilaterally praised on that Charlie Brooker programme.

I fucking LOVE IT.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 10:27, Reply)

What I love about that show

Is the intensity, the build up, the communiction of massive threat from the bail jumper and then it turns out that they shoplifted a Freddo.
