“It’s The Perfect Trash” — People Are Sharing The 17 TV Shows That Are Their Guilty Pleasure
“I love it. That is all.”
Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community if they could share the TV show that they love to watch in secret…
NBC
Here are some of the best responses:
1. Psych
USA Network
“It feels quite old nowadays but it’s funny and silly and doesn’t require much emotionally from me! The fashions, slang, and music take me back to my early adulthood. It gives me such a boost after a long day.”
2. Ancient Aliens
History Channel
“90% of it is insane and completely wild. But every once in a while they come up with a theory that sounds plausible… It is the perfect trash!”
5. Catfish
MTV
“Started watching when working from home. Can’t help myself!”
6. The Great British Bake Off
Channel 4
“I can re-watch old seasons again and again. There’s something so wholesome about the whole show and the moments of cheekiness (soggy bottoms and whatnot) add that touch of humour that makes for a very delightful watch.”
7. Ghosts
CBS
8. Ink Master
Paramount Network
“I know it’s not the best reflection of the tattoo industry, but it can be so entertaining. At least the newer seasons are a tiny bit better about focusing on the art instead of the manufactured drama and shouting matches.”
“I like watching it for the artwork of it. I hate all the forced drama for ‘entertainment’.”
9. Gogglebox
Channel 4
“It lets me watch little snippets of TV which pleases my ADHD brain and I’m invested with all the people on it. Also I can do all of the ‘In *town name*…’ when the houses come up!”
10. America’s Next Top Model
The CW
“I know it’s problematic as all hell nowadays, but during its initial run I was OBSESSED. And a lot of the resulting photographs were beautiful. Shame it turned out to be such a shit-show. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!!”
11. My Cat from Hell
Animal Planet
12. The Masked Singer
ITV
“It is so dumb, but I get invested in trying to figure out who they are.”
13. The Penthouse: War in Life
SBS TV
“I just watch it to see what the fuss is all about but trust me it can burden you way too much with everything (I MEAN EVERYTHING) that happens, (and because the actors who portray the rich kids are the same age as me, I was born in 1999).”
14. Toddlers & Tiaras
TLC
“Unhinged adults obviously not adulting as well as I am. It’s comforting.”
15. Dance Moms
Lifetime
“I know it’s trash, I know the adults are garbage people and I know the kids were treated appallingly, but there’s something so compelling about it.”
16. Peep Show
Channel 4
“Everyone in it is awful, so I feel better about myself.”
17. CSI and CSI NY
CBS
“I love re-watching the old seasons. The stories had more depth and realistic moments than they do now. And the shows don’t feel rushed.”
