What are your guilty TV secrets?

Most of mine are stuff I *don't* watch rather than stuff I do. Like I'm not watching 'Popstars' at the moment, and I didn't watch 'Big Brother' last year - I thought 'Castaway 2000' was miles better. I don't watch 'Eastenders', 'Hollyoaks' or any soap apart from, occasionally, 'Neighbours'. I hate 'The Royle Family', 'Absolutely Fabulous' and 'Harry Enfield'.

Umm, other stuff...I love watching 'Changing Rooms'. And despite being barely 3 months short of my 20th birthday I love those crappy US teen sitcoms that they show on satellite channels like Nickelodeon and Trouble - 'Sweet Valley High', 'Sister Sister' and 'California Dreams' spring to mind.

Yeah, you might all like to pretend you don't know me.

Umm...currently, Dawson's Creek. In the past, I've been known to watch old reruns of Full House, Saved by the Bell, etc. I dunno...maybe it's because you know everything will work itself out in a half hour? Or - gasp - it might run to a TWO PARTER...

I could admit to watching *Survivor* but everyone else does too! Thank goddess we don't get *Temptation Island* or I may have to kill myself if I start watching it. I watch healty TV, damn it! *Sports Night* all the way and the occassional He-man now and then.

I love "Friends." It's the best show in the world!

I'm also a sap for those corny british dry comedies, like "Absolutely Fabulous", and the old reruns of "Who's line is it Anyway?" from like, 10 years ago that are on every weekday at 3 on comedy central... yeah...

I haven't been watching Papstars either. Papstars. See what I did there? pApstars! I should get a job presenting a bad commercial radio breakfast show. Perhaps I am the next Daryl ::spit:: Denham...

anyway. Yes. I haven't been watchin Popstars either. I feel like the people who walked round last summer not knowing what Big Brother was. Big Brother wasn't trash, incidently. It was a serious sociological experiement. And I miss it!

Anna... if you're out there... I'm waiting for you...
