What's your guilty TV secret?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. liquorice (1979)   ranked 230 out of 4,081 in watching television 3 years ago

Go on, everybody has one. Is there something that you love watching, but you'd never admit it to your family or friends? Are you addicted to Big Brother? Never miss an episode of teenage drama 90210, (even though you're 57)? Okay, there's nothing wrong with that really, but maybe you feel the need to hide this from the people that know you... ? Do you love those plastic surgery shows? Or programmes about fly-fishing or trains?

I used to be a Big Brother addict, but the novelty wore off a few years ago. Now I'm a closet "Next Top Model" fan. I'll watch any version. So far I've seen the American, British, Canadian and Australian versions, and if they start to show equivalents from any other countries I shall no doubt be watching them too!

I don't know why I love it so much. I'm not at all into fashion or make-up, shoes or bags, and the idea of buying the designer clothes that all the potential models faun over sickens me to the core. But I do find it entertaining, I suppose I like to mock some of the contestants for their values (I know, I'm bad, lol!), I love the fact that there are girls I will love and girls I will hate ( - they cast it that way I'm sure), and I like watching the interaction between all of the different characters.

What's yours?

Sometimes I will watch "What Not to Wear" and criticize women for the way they dress. However I am not much better then them sometimes.

I have watched some of the plastic surgery shows and know way to much about them.

Then their is the British show "How Clean is your House?" Kim and Aggie crack me up.

Good choices! Is What Not to Wear the version with Trinny and Susannah? That's such a funny (but mean) programme! I watched some of those a while ago. I know that I wouldn't like it if they told me what to wear, and especially that I had to throw my clothes away angry!

I can't watch the plastic surgery shows as I'm quite squeamish when they show the surgery, and I've never watched How Clean is your House, as I'm a bit worried that some of the houses might look a bit like mine, lol!

Thanks for your answer.

ok my guilty pleasure is watching "Gene Simmons Family Jewels". I was never into Kiss at all. I just thought they were a bunch of guys dressing in makeup and crazy attire doing drugs and drinking. However, surprise surprise Gene Simmons has never had a drink or any type of drugs in his life. I couldn't believe it. Gene Simmons and his family are so funny and down to earth people to me. They are just so much fun to watch. Gene Simmons is a business man all the way. Looking to see how he can make more money.

Oh, I've seen this a few times. I didn't actually know who Kiss was before I saw this show, and then I watched a few episodes of this programme (just to see who Gene Simmons was, you understand, lol!) I didn't really get into it, but these reality kind of programmes can get really addictive. I agree, he did seem like quite a down to earth guy for a rock star. I remember quite liking his kids. They seemed quite likeable.

LOL, I totally have a guilty tv secret! I watch children's cartoons! Nobody knows because I am too ashamed to admit it. There is this network called Boomerang (affiliated with Cartoon Network) that plays all these cartoons that were on when I was a kid.

Every morning I wake up early to watch The Snorks and The Smurfs. No lie! I could never admit that to anyone, that not only do I watch them, but I actually PLAN to watch them, I make myself wake up on time to watch them!! I feel so stupid admitting it, though...they are silly and stupid cartoons, but there is something about their innocence that reminds me of happy times when I was a kid, even though I can't usually remember the specific episodes I saw back then. It just brings me a kind of comfort to know I watched the same episodes 25 years ago when i was seven....weird I know. Don't tell anyone!

this isn't a secret really...just so out of character for me who does not watch tv. I have never been a big tv fan.I mean I am someone who maybe on a rare occassion turns the tv on to watch the news in the morning. I have at random caught something that grabbed my attention when my daughter has the tv on which is also rare. When I was caring for my mom, she watched soaps in the afternoon. I did get caught up in all my children. I only watch it 2 or 3 times a week but the fact that I watch it at all irritates me. When I was a kid, I got caught up in Dark Shadows....had to be home at that time every day and no one could call me...nothing else mattered. that went off the air...thankfully and I swore that i'd never be a slave to another tv show. Here I amm...if there is nothing going on...I'm there catching up on the silly drama of all my children which just makes me feel dumb. it is overdramatized, unrealistic....silly. Yet it grabs me.

Hi Liquorice, I don't really watch TV except for the occasional crime drama thriller or an odd documentary and last night started watching the first of a three part series Occupation but the one my family would be surprised at that I watch is in fact Time Team, my son loves watching it too and wants to go on a dig when he is older and meanwhile as we live on the Jurassic coast he spends his time looking for fossils on the beach bless. Huggles. Ellie :D

hiya liquorice

I can't stand big brother! lol Sometimes if I've had the channel on that shows it and I fall asleep, when I wake up they are running it live... and filming people sleeping!.. oh yeah! that's really entertaining. John Logie Baird be turning in his grave if he knew t.v was being used for shows like this rolleyes
I love watching shows like it's a knock out and teshiki's castle I think they are hilarious, but my mum for example thinks they are silly. I like to have a laugh in life, it's important to our well-being.

Alice happy

I think you have mentioned about some famour TV shows which are available in your country. We do not get to see Big Brother, as it is not available in our country, however, I have heard lot about it and 2-3 seasons (read years) ago an Indian Actress Shilpa Shetty won the Big Brother in its London editions and since then she has become very famous. Keep watching and keep enjoying.

I sometime s enjoy watching fishing shows.

I typed out a few paragraphs that explained why I like these shows, but the page didn't load. I think it's a sign or something. Either my computer doesn't want me to go into detail about such an embarrassing thing, or, the site just glitched on me for no good reason. Either way, I don't feel like typing up all over again. .
