You Know It's Bad - PYF Guilty Pleasure TV Shows

[Adiwan]

You know the show is not good but you watch them anyway.

I for one watch Riverdale. It has a ton of problems but for some reason it's captivating like a bad soap opera but with more Jingle Jangle (it's the name of a drug in that show).

I'm curious which bad TV shows you watch.

[West Filly]

Loose Women.

It's a show on ITV where 4 or so minor UK celebrities, all women from a regular group of about 10 faces I can think of, sit at a table and discuss literally anything. The show is complete trash and yet somehow compelling. Every other thing they say is basically "men, amirite?" and I should despise that but whatever.

Pretty much any competitive reality show, especially if it involves cooking or baking. Netflix is a gold mine for them. Recently I got a big kick out of the show "Canada's Worst Handyman."

Also obligatory low-hanging fruit answer: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Reboot: The Guardian Codes

[ToastGhost]

[Highbrow Dash]

Game of thrones

[The Ghost of Ember]

anime

[Auxiliatrix]

I somehow made my way through all of Big Mouth (though, in truth, I didn't really enjoy much of it, so I guess it wouldn't be much of a guilty pleasure).

Perhaps a better fit would be Gossip Girl, which I found myself pretty engrossed in years back, despite the fact that I recognized it was fairly manipulative and used all teenage cliches imaginable.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

[Mr. Big]

I have fond memories of trashy Adult Swim shows like "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and "Robot Chicken", although I haven't watched them regularly in years.

[Momo]

I'd say Trailer Park Boys, except I don't feel even the littlest bit guilty for liking that greasy horrorshow.

[Logicgate]

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast probably fits here

Sealab 2021 was exactly the show I needed, though.

[Perrydotto]

I have like a trillion of these and I don't feel guilty for any of them

First one that comes to mind is Yu-Gi-Oh GX, particularly the 4kids dub, because as the show progresses it becomes more and more of a gag dub and essentially its own abridged series and it's goddamn hilarious

and whenever you think you've seen it all, they throw something else at you with absolute sincerity and it rules

[Madeline]

I don’t feel guilty about my entertainment choices, even when they are shit
