guilty pleasure, postaday2015, t.v show

What’s the one guilty pleasure you have that’s so good, you no longer feel guilty about it?
I am not sure if I could honestly say that I’m there as of yet. I have quite a few guilty pleasures, I’m pretty sure that none are so good that I would trumpet them from my roof top. There is my supreme downfall, that is the raw cookie dough, the Keebler’s fudge stripe cookie, anything ice cream and many junk food chocolates such as Snickers, all of them, be it in candy or ice cream form, Hersey’s Kisses, Twix and Milkways. These are my edible guilty pleasures and I am not proud of them, I fight against them quite often, well not really against them, but more specifically the areas in my brain that want to drown in chocolate and the unhealthy combination of sugar, butter and all of the chemical additives that make up the addictive sweet mess.

I haven’t even gotten to the televison zone of guilty pleasure. I am still a furtive Real Housewives of whatever County viewer, ashamed of the pleasure that watching all of the housewives gives me, it is an embarassment, what does it say about me, that I am drawn to watching these grown women argue and fight over the pettiest of things.

However, I do not consider my loyalty to General Hospital as a guilty pleasure, my soap opera viewing pleasure isn’t something to be ashamed of, soap operas have a long and dignified history, they have been a source of comforting stories to many generations and I am proud to be a part of that fan base.

My latest guilty pleasure can be found on the U.S.A network, Crissley Knows Best, I can’t help myself, it is a riot. As far as reality shows, this one is a nice one, Todd Crissley is a family man who wants the best for his family and it shows, what makes it a guilty pleasure is the way he goes about it. My favorite person on the show is Julie his wife, followed by Savannah their daughter and I would put Faye, Todd’s mother in a class by herself, bless her heart.

I feel pretty superficial right about now lol  

My crazy guilty pleasure

One of the new shows this year is Neighbors on ABC. It’s about a human family who unwittingly move into a gated community that had been taken over by alien shipwrecked aliens inhabiting human form. Jaime Gertz has been a favorite actress of mine since I was in my late teens, early twenties. She plays Debra the mom, happily married to Marty, they have three children. They find out that they are living in an alien community and hijinks ensues. The alien family who decide to adopt Debra and Marty Weaver as friends, are named Jackie Joyce Girney and Larry Byrd. The aliens all named each other after sports figures.

Tonight is a very special episode, George Takei from Star Trek fame and Mark Hamil from Star Wars fame are guest appearing as supreme commanders checking in to see how the mission is going. I must not be the only one who considers this show as a guilty pleasure when two icons of science fiction are willing to grace the t.v show with their presence.

I am done with my confessional, you should tune in and watch, it is cute and harmless, good for when your brain doesn’t want stress or worries.
