Guilty pleasures (or not so guilty )of summer TV viewing

[AgentC]

Our satellite box broke this weekend and while we were waiting for Directv I had to exclusively watch NetFlix and Hulu. I introduced my children to one of my favorite old guilty pleasures on NetFlix- Hercules The Legendary Journeys. (Alas they didn't have Xena. )

So it got me thinking, what does everyone watch when the summer doldrums hit and none of your regular shows are on? I find I watch some things in the summer I would never normally watch. They are truly guilty pleasures. I also try to catch up on things I missed.

Here are a few of mine. I'll check in with more later.

Very Guilty
The Real Housewives of Orange County- they were the originals and as much as I know I shouldn't watch it, they keep drawing me back in.

Whodunnit? This is a new summer show. Totally cheesy but I'm kind of liking trying to figure out the clues.

Kind of Guilty
Mistresses I watched the first three episodes in a row on Hulu but it is losing steam for me.

Not Guilty

House Hunters International A go to show for me. I love seeing the countries.

The American Baking Competition A nice change from the traditional cooking contests.

Okay, your turn. Any dark secrets out there or great shows I'm missing?

I have also been watching Who Dunnit and American Baking Competition. Along with those are Next Food Network Star and America's Got Talent. I have seen a little Big Brother.

Oh geez. I don't know if I want to even admit this.

Guilty:

Real Housewives...all of them basically. NJ and Orange County are on now.

Catfish on MTV. This whole phenomenon is so twisted, but I can't stop watching this show.

Don't be Tardy I don't know why I got sucked into this show, but I did. The season just ended but I watched every episode.

Newlyweds on Bravo. I found this show HIGHLY entertaining.

Pregnant and Dating--I've only seen this a couple times, and again, it's so bizarre. But, I keep watching it.

Highly inappropriate shows on Comedy Central--titles withheld Well, what can I say, I have a very twisted sense of humor and I'm immature. So what?

Not so Guilty:

Toy Hunter--LOVE this show!

Pawn Stars

Lately, I've been watching a lot of Destination America channel. There is a lot of fun stuff on there.

RHONJ hands down.

I don't know what category this would fall into (semi-guilty, I guess), but I was thinking the other day that I want to watch Dawson's Creek again, starting from the beginning, and maybe Felicity too. Both had some great actors in them and I enjoyed the storylines (for the most part, anyway). I'll have to see if Netflix carries them.

I recommended one of my best friends for The American Baking Competition and she made it through three auditions and then got dropped. So I haven't been able to watch. But I do love Master Chef, Hell's Kicthen, and Chopped. I've started watching The Dome. Otherwise, I haven't been watching much TV lately.

[MissMaryPoppins]

I've been watching a lot of Bravo. I love the Housewives, Jeff Lewis, and I've found myself watching Princesses: Long Island and a show about a yacht crew. I can honestly say I don't like either of the two but I can't stop watching. Now that Mad Men is done for the season and Sherlock isn't coming back anytime soon, I'm stuck with ****! I'm grateful for Netflix though. It feeds my British TV addiction.

[Mickey'sGirl]

I'm grateful for Netflix though. It feeds my British TV addiction.

If you are an Inspector Morse/Lewis fan, there is a new series starting up on PBS called "Endeavour" (Inspector Morse's first name). It's set in the 60's when Morse is just starting out as a Constable, and it is very good!

Ooohhh!!! This topic is so SPACIOUS.

I refuse to use that word, but this seemed to be an appropriate opportunity.

I haven't heard this mentioned yet. Naked and afraid.
