Jen in Dallas: My guilty pleasure TV is Son of the Beach. Yes, it's really stupid and often gross. But still. A higher-brow favorite is a short lived comedy series called "The Good Guys," set very obviously in Dallas and starring Colin Hanks (Tom Hanks Jr) as a cop for whom small cases always lead to big trouble.

im watching a very bad tv show that is an adaptation of a book i really enjoyed. and its been soooo long since i watched a bad tv show - clunky, soapy, bad dialogue. and its kind of pleasurable? like eating those powdered sugar donuts that taste like sweet cardboard.

in the streaming age i just only watch like truly excellent tv. and there's a pleasure in shlock.

as chuck klosterman once said, the term "guilty pleasure" should be for enjoying like, killing dogs. there's nothing wrong with liking dumb tv!

Thank you!
