I always get blushed when I tell people I own ALF- Season One. It's a good show, and funny, so why am I ashamed of it....?

TV DVD Fan · 09-29-2005, 03:47 PM

........ Hmm, lets see, maybe it's because it's a show about an extra-terrestial being taken in by a somewhat off the wall family and providing it with room and board?

The alien is 400 years old, and has a nose that looks worse than Michael Jackson's? He is from a non-existant planet? Willy gets into rather stupid arguements with the alien? Nah, that's not it...

I love that show. Not exactly geared toward people my age...but oh well. It can be more sophisticated than it looks.

Lets see... Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Full House, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Lizzie McQuire, The Simple Life, Newleyweds: Nick & Jessica, Sex And The City, Boy Meets World, Step By Step & Charmed. Yep thats a pretty long list.

But we should be allowed to like whatever we want with out uncalled for comments made at us for liking something/somebody.

I was about to say the same thing! Well, I'm almost 22. I've watched a few episodes and I liked it. I think the plot/premise of the show is good. Actually I watch a lot of Disney Channel shows!

Wanted on TNT. It's like The Shield, only without the great writing, great acting and multi-faceted characters.

The Waltons. I'm not ashamed of it but everytime I tell someone I watch it, they're like, "Ha ha! YOU watch The Waltons?! Ha ha ha! I hate that show! It sucks!" And then I rant on and on about how awesome that show is.

actually, Sex And The City is an Emmy-winning show, it's won Best Comedy, Best Actress and Supporting Actress, it hardly qualfies as a guilty pleasure.

Buffy is another show not to be ashamed of. The people who hate the show and consider it something to be ashamed of liking usually have never seen the show and judge it because of the movie. I do remember a lot of people fussing when TV Guide put it in the list of the 50 greatest TV shows ever (where it rightfully belonged) and the people who balked at it mostly where people who have never even SEEN the show and decided it was crap because they didn't like the Luke Perry movie. Buffy was only behind Trek and X-Files last year when TV Guide ranked the top 25 cult tv shows, so that's another show you shouldn't consider a guilty pleasure.

And, maybe it's just me, and it's probably because I'm not really a fan.... but I'd be slightly embarassed to be a Treky or X-Files fanatic.

Trek definately because of all the "geeky stuff", but X-Files was genuinely a cool show

Then again, if I were 13 and a Sex and The City fan, I'd probably wouldn't be embarassed to admit it just because I'd feel as if I'm giving off a mature vibe because I like such an adult show.

This is a very stereotypical view of Star Trek fans. I'm a huge fan of the Star Trek shows, but I don't fit any of the typical geeky stereotypes.
