Guilty pleasure TV shows from yester-year.

[Catmusicfan]

So let's do something fun... maybe embarrassing. What is that campy or goofy TV show that you might not want to admit you like but you love the show because you see something too it.


I have two that can be embarrassing/or people make fun of...


One is Out of this World

BUT my absolute favorite of all would be this one:

anyone else brave enough to admit a guilty pleasure?

1. The Lucy Show

The one where she was Lucy Carmichael and she worked for Mr. Mooney (Gale Gordon) at the bank. When I was a kid I used to spend a couple weeks in the summer with my grandparents and we watched that every morning on one of the local UHF channels (remember those? I'm old!). When I'm bored I'll watch a couple episodes on YouTube and I'm back in Grandma's living room. Show was really funny too.

2. One of my all time favorites.

I've always wished I had the ability to cross my arms, snap my fingers and disappear, like Burt.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. Great show!

[yallerdawg]

3. "Xena, Warrior Princess"

There was a time when I would ask myself: "WWXD?"

I own entire DVD set with a variety of commentaries! Guilty!

[Catmusicfan]

5. I don't consider that a guilty pleasure. She and Gabby where role models to me.

I still own the series Soonas I get my DVDs unpacked doing a marathon.

4. Greatest American Hero is still on. So is Xena, Warrior Princess.

There's a lot to be said for Xena, Warrior Princess.

Heroes and Icons

You know the show I'd like to see again? "Beauty and the Beast."

Beauty and the Beast (1987 TV series)

Beauty and the Beast is an American fantasy-drama series which first aired on CBS in 1987. Creator Ron Koslow's updated version of the fairy tale has a double focus: the relationship between Vincent (Ron Perlman), a mythic, noble man-beast, and Catherine (Linda Hamilton), a savvy Assistant District Attorney in New York; and a secret Utopian community of social outcasts living in a subterranean sanctuary. Through an empathetic bond, Vincent senses Catherine's emotions, and becomes her guardian.

7. The 'Xena' crew in New Zealand...

rolled right into Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings."

If you're into that kind of thing. Guilty!

[Catmusicfan]

10. Oh I remember that. It was so cool watching those movies and seeing so many people

I remember from Xena and Hercules.

[yallerdawg]

17. I just couldn't get into Kevin Sorbo's "Hercules."

I could only envision Hercules as an Arnold/The Rock-type character. Sorbo was too cerebral and quiet.

Where Xena was always in-your-face kick-ass, when she wasn't in atonement mode - which added to her being such a fascinating character.

[Catmusicfan]

20. I did and then Kevin open the Republican mouth...Thank GAWD all the other actors

Supporting cast. MICHAEL HURST especially are all awesome actors. That is the only way I can still watch that show... Andromeda on the hand... is collecting dust.

And of course the late great Kevin Smith

[yallerdawg]

21. Kevin Smith was a GOD! Best facial hair in television!

He would have been so great - he was destined for better.

Hudson Leick - Callisto - was another of my favorites.

It's really amazing how much went into this show. They lit the way for much of what has followed!

I used to harass a jackass work supervisor with my adaptation of "Joxer the Mighty" - I'd sing it over the intercom at Lowe's after the store closed. I'd get other employees to do a backup of the tune with me, the beat!

I was the only one who laughed - I was the only one who watched "Xena"! Truly an inside joke!

Good times!

[Catmusicfan]

23. Joxer-- Ted Raimi-Sam Raimi's younger brother. Bruce Campbell

mentioned that he'd babysit Ted in his Bio.

Alexandra Tydings as Aphrodite. Brilliant. Later seasons of Xena especially showed such depth to the character.

Brilliant funny awesome show. IMHO

[Catmusicfan]

25. You listen to the commentaries and watch the behind the scenes you'd see how

the New Zealand people was diverse in what they did. Stunt Guy also played extras and help as crew hands. Jackson said the Productions of Xena and Hercules being done down there really help in the making of Lord of the Rings.

[RelativelyJones]

6. Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

[femmocrat]

8. I think these two have held up well: "The Andy Griffith Show"

and "Golden Girls." Also "Designing Women," but I don't think I have seen any episodes since it went off the air.

[Va Lefty]

9. Days of our Lives during the Jack/Jennifer storyline

Some great writing and acting by both Melissa Reeves and Matthew Ashford. A lot of the clips can be viewed here. Video not he best

12. H.R. Pufnstuf

I was in love with Jack Wilde.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. My kids used to love that show. I'll have to look for dvd's for the grandkids.

A few years ago I found the original first season Sesame Street episodes for my great granddaughter, but my daughter enjoyed them more than she did. Go figure.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

13. Ren and Stimpy

[Bayard]

16. I remember Ren & Stimpy

Just never could figure out what kind of critters they were supposed to be.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Chihuahua and Manx cat!

[Bayard]

14. The Munsters

Andy Griffith, and Lucy

[Binkie The Clown]

27. Addams Family Rules, Munster Family Drools. n/t :)

[Bayard]

43. I am quite ok with drooling Munsters

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Been rewatching 'Allo 'Allo all week!

[Catmusicfan]

24. I remember my PBS channel Saturday late night would have that Are you being Served and Red Dwarf.

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. Loved all the PBS Britcoms!

[louis-t]

22. I like Greatest American Hero.

And the theme song.

[klook]

26. Captain Nice!

There are plenty of other dumb shows I've watched, but this was among the most entertaining and goofy.

[Catmusicfan]

29. WOW can u find it on you tube?

[rzemanfl]

28. Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman n/t

[wryter2000]

31. And Fernwood Tonight

Funny

[FM123]

32. Maude! I loved it as a kid (still do).

"Uncompromising, enterprising, anything but tranquillizing. Right on Maude! "

[Liberal Veteran]

34. Except for the early episodes with the really long opening.

[FM123]

37. so funny, loved that! 😀

[First Speaker]

35. Dark Shadows...

...especially the early, pre-Barnabas episodes, that just had their own neat, quirly atmosphere. But Jonathan Frid was cool...the show just got stopped in its tracks over some time-flashback, as I recall, and never gained momentum, and it, and its vogue, vanished almost overnight. But I've never forgotten it...

[Catmusicfan]

36. My hubby picked up the whole series on Amazon Prime day.

He has wanted to see that series for a looonnggg while.

[apkhgp]

38. Campy shows

Batman starring Adam West
Battlestar Galactica starring Lorne Green

[Catmusicfan]

39. Adam was a treasure that is missed. I remember watching the repeats...

Had huge crush on Burt Ward.

[Fla Dem]

40. All the Star Trek series.

[Archae]

41. Buck Rogers!

Was released shortly after the first Battlestar Galactica, but didn't take itself too seriously.

I loved it!

[earthshine]

42. Miami Vice -- even if only for the Jan Hammer music

The show had some really wild stories.

[Bayard]

44. I was staying up way too late last night

And was immediately captivated by a tv channel playing old Looney Tunes......Bugs, Pepe, Foghorn, Roadrunner.

Laughed my ass off!

[jrandom421]

45. Anything by Irwin Allen

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

Time Tunnel

The Invaders

Land of the Giants
