I&#8217;ve been hooked since the first season. My daughter and I sit and watch it together. I find the plotting to be quite interesting (ala <i>Diplomacy<\/i>), and it has very skilled editing.\n<li><b>Certain silly movies<\/b>, such as <i>Kentucky Fried Movie<\/i>, <i>The Great Race<\/i>, <i>Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World<\/i>, <i>Hallelujah Trail<\/i>, or <i>The Frisco Kid<\/i>. Yet, they weren&#8217;t great rating getters. I enjoy them. If you notice, these are all very funny movies <i>that have not been remade<\/i>. Perhaps that&#8217;s a good test of a movie. They keep remaking the bad ones until they get it right. Make the right movie with the right actors the first time.\n<li><b>Certain kids music<\/b>, such as the work of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parachuteexpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Parachute Express<\/a>.  Although some of it is quite dumbed down, other stuff is quite good. I also enjoy listening to odd stuff such as TV Themes and obscure musicals.\n<li><b>Livejournal<\/b>. But of course. Isn&#8217;t this our shared guilty pleasure.\n<li><b>My Fountain Pens<\/b>. I hate marking up documents on a computer. Give me a pen, a bottle of ink, a small bottle of water, and let me have at it. Much, much, much more pleasurable&#8230; at least for me. I&#8217;m sure those on the receiving end of my markups are less happy.\n<li>Bonus 6<sup>th<\/sup> Guilty Pleasure: <b>Girl-watching<\/b>. Yes, I do enjoy watching the scenery as it walks by. But looking is all I do, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldielyrics.com\/lyrics\/frank_sinatra\/i_love_my_wife.html\" target=\"_blank\">I Love My Wife<\/a>. <\/ul>\n<p>Now, according to the rules, I am to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names. I&#8217;m hesitant to do that, but wait&#8230;. you there. Yes, I mean you. I can see you on the other side of your screen. You look guilty to me.
