Your TV series "Guilty pleasure"

Has to be Downton Abbey. I pretend I'm interested because it's filmed in Ealing Studios, and also Highclere (near where I grew up), but really it's because of Jessica Brown-Findlay :p
 
I used to love The OC, and can sit down and enjoy repeats of the first season. Same with Buffy with the first four seasons. Both shows just got so bad after that I'd feel worse than guilty for enjoying them (so gladly I don't).

I'll also watch anything that has Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsey. I'd say they're guilty pleasures because I don't actually like either of them as people, nor are they the most talented TV chefs, but it's simply the way the shows are presented which draws me in.
 
Mine is Greys Anatomy. The wife loves it so I watched it with her and started to really enjoy it myself.
Not something I'd want to admit to my manly man friends :p
 
Kitchen Nightmares US - it's rubbish compared to the original channel four show but I enjoy it.

Also, Come Dine with Me - I only watch this when sister is visiting as she demands to watch it. I pretend to be really annoyed and tell her how boring it is but secretly I love it.
 
Vampire Diaries was one that sucked me in (ooh, a pun)
The OC back in the day, heck, even One Tree Hill had me for a while (in my defense I was a teen back then)
I would say Buffy, but I have no guilt about that - it was awesome and Angel was too.
X Factor - A show I have no actual interest in and never used to watch...yet since the wife enjoys it and I watch it with her....I do not find it a torturous experience
 
continuining the exhumation of this thread AD+5 years -

Question Time - still get suckered into watching it regularly, believing that the quality of the participants will have improved, and wondering why someone like
David Dimbleby continues to associate himself with it :
50% of the participants (behind the desk) are worthy, but the other seem to be frequently, the dregs of the
house of parliament or 'celebrities' just after a photo opportunity for their constituents, and they have nothing sensible to contribute.
 
Stargate SG1.

I used to watch it years ago and started off again buying Season 1 on a certain online streaming platform a few months ago. I'm now nearly finished and well over £100 out of pocket haha
