    I also never watched Big Love(I think thats what is was called) or Hung.

    Both are awesome, though not Entourage anymore.

    Hung sucks. I tried, and only got through season 1 and a few episodes. Never really enjoyed it, though thats compared to other HBO shows. It was still better than a lot of whats on broadcast TV and a little bit cable.

    Yea, I tried to watch an episode or two, and just never got into it.

    Kinda figured. Saw one show where the big bald dude got kicked square in the nuts by some scrawny dude and I'm thinking "I would've clubbed that little mofo like a baby seal if I got my hands on him." Seemed like they had a little too much restraint in some instances.

    lmao, I think I saw the same one as well. The scrawny dude's father was just standing there too. I figured in real life there is no way the jacked bald dude would let that piece of shit get away with it.

    Operation Repo is one of the worst shows on TV, and I wouldn't consider Pawn Stars a guilty pleasure.

    Agreed about the Pawn Stars comment. I wouldnt consider that a guilty one.

    Yeah, I was in college when Greek premiered and a lot of people at my school watched the show, so I guess I didn't see it as a guilty pleasure.

    I also decided while watching the season premier of Pretty Little Liars tonight that it should be the official show of the OC because there's a lot of student on teacher action, which is what we're all about around here.

    I started watching GREEK because I thought it would be decent and it turned out to be pretty funny and interesting so I continued to watch it all the way through. I was kinda sad when it ended this year.

    I missed the season premier tonight but ill watch it online tomorrow haha. And I agree that would be a great show for the OC official show!

    In the past....the OC and Laguna Beach. No joke, we had a group of dudes that would sit around and drink beers and watch Laguna Beach.

    Currently, I guess just Grey's.

    I'm with you on Laguna, but only the first two season. Kristen was about the hottest thing ever back then.

    That's how I got started on Dawson's Creek. Went to college, lived in the dorms for a bit. First Wednesday night there, roommates were like sorry dude, TV is reserved. It's Dawson's Creek night. Our dorm and the two dorms beside us all piled in to watch Dawson's Creek. It was unreal. But, then I got hooked. Lol

    Yeah, I was bummed when Greek ended too, but it also felt like it was time to end. Kind of like college, you have fun while you're there, and while you know you'll miss the lack of responsibility and being around your friends all the time, you get to a point where you know you're ready to move on. The same was true with Greek. I enjoyed the time we had together, but when it came time for the show to end, I knew it was for the best. The only real disappointment was not getting to see Rusty and Ashleigh's romance, since I had been anticipating them eventually ending up together since early in the first season.

    Yeah I completely agree man especially about Rusty and Ashleigh I too always thought they'd end up together.

    Also I watched the first season of the OC but then couldn't watch the 2nd season because I had a night class when it was on and just never really go into watching it again after that.

    Sure.. I mean look at the basis of the show. You have Rick who is forcefed information about stuff that would never be brought into a local pawn shop all on the same given day. He doesn't know shit about the item so he has to call experts in, but he supposedly knows all about what it is and how miuch it's worth. You have his son who is as dumb as him but thinks he's actually smart. You have the old man who is an older version of those two, but wont deal on anything... then you have Chumley who anymore TRIES to be as dumb as he can... It's far from a good show... it's far fetched and very reaching.. but its entertaining.

    What about Teen Mom?? You know you love it!

    I think since I have a vagina I can get away with watching pretty much anything.

    I'll agree with you on the far fetched stuff. As the show goes on, it seems to be more and more scripted. Still enjoy it thoroughly, though, and personally don't consider it a guilty pleasure.
