What do you watch/read/listen to even though you know it's bad?
We like watching Smallville. I laugh at how bad most of it is, especially when one of the older folks starts off with, "you see Clark…".
-
I have a great fondness for Godzilla and other giant monster movies. I mostly indulge this when I'm sick and stuck on the couch. I never ask my girlfriend or anyone else to watch 'em...
I also read a lot of comics, including superhero comics, but I don't consider them a guilty pleasure in general. A lot of them are really good. Some of them though, I just enjoy for the nostalgia.
-
Well, Green Arrow, though I'm really wishing for Kevin Smith to take back over. They also need to stop fake killing him off, it's getting cliche'd.
I watch Smallville as well, personally I'm wondering when they'll bring in Perry White.
-
Conan the Barbarian. I probably watch it 5 or 6 times a year. Maybe it's the soundtrack? I was a huge fan of "The Savage Sword" from Marvel until they cancelled it. Of course, I always watch alone. My wife would rather set herself on fire.
-
As much as I try to avoid reality TV, I can't take my eyes off of America's Next Top Model. I've managed to avoid this season, but I know the first day they have a marathon I'll be there.
Also, I'm rediscovering Charmed, but that may be because it features Alyssa Milano and dark haired girls.
-
Bon Jovi. Especially the Young Guns days.
-
It's not like a watch it on a regular basis, or anything, but I really enjoyed Titanic. I think it's a great movie, I really do.

I love kitchen nightmares

Gawd, my wife watches America's Next Top Model often and I've been known to join her. It is so bad and the judges so annoying, but sometimes I can't stop watching.

Reality TV Confession:
Supernanny. I just can't help it. She's amazing.
-
I used to call the Buffy/Angel line-up on WB "Guilty Pleasure Theater".
-
Buffy is all class. Conan's soundtrack is one of the best things ever composed. American versions of Top Model or Supernanny I can't comment on, but the german ones... well, them's quality viewing, them is.
I'm going to go with (and this is gonna top all of you BY A MILE) Zoey 101.
What can I say? Britney's little sis has got me glued to young teen highschool shenanigans AND I CAN'T LET GO.

My wife and I both follow "Project Runway", and now "Project Runway Canada".
If I ever come across a reasonably-priced boxed set of all the seasons of "ReBoot" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReBoot - I'd probably buy it. It was a great series.
Music: "Staying Alive" (BeeGees), "Relax" (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Patsy Cline, bagpipes, accordions. Not that they're bad, per se, just not so popular any more.
-
I don't know how guilt a pleasure Project Runway is. I mean, yes, it is a reality show, but it's also about actual artistic talent and not "OMG SHE'S SUCH A BITCH" kind of faux-reality-drama.
