1) Anything by Dr Hook
2) The Sound of Music - not a guilty pleasure, but I can't watch that film with anyone in the room; when Chris Plummer starts singing Edelweiss I turn into a frigging mess.

1. Don't sing in the car that I remember. Oh, wait, I used to.

But this morning was singing 'Rocket Man' for some reason. 'burning down the bue the every everyone.. ' I never got the words to that part.

But I edemed myself . ROCKET MAN! - When I got back back to that part. 7 am . Try it.
Musta had a dream or something. ?

2. Beaches. sigh.

3. Jackie Collins, Go Lucky. Sure there is more.

4. Food Network, pick a show - it's pure comedy now.

What guilty pleasures (although reluctant to admit) would you answer to the following topics:

1.) Song you have to sing along to in the car.
"Highway Star" by Deep Purple. It's not pretty. The singing, I mean. Specifically, my singing.
2.) Movie
"Princess Bride." So silly. But I'll watch it anytime, from any point.
3.) Book
I'm not sure I have a guilty pleasure in a book. Maybe Kipling's "Just So Stories," because they're kids things, but I still like them.
4.) Tv show
Ah. "Airwolf" with Jan Michael Vincent and Ernest Borgnine, the first couple years. It got syndicated or something, and the quality dropped sharply in later episodes. It was as fun-stupid as "Manimal" and "Automan," but I still liked it (as well as those other two).

[80sFan]

1. I sing to whatever comes on the radio, but the first thing that popped in my head for a "guilty pleasure" song is Sherriff's When I'm With You.

2. My favorite movie is Moulin Rouge, so there's that.

3. The Hunger Games.
I was embarrassingly into the series when my daughter was reading it a few years back. (Hey, gimmee a break...at least it wasn't Twilight).

4. The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.
I'm serious. If happy little clouds can't make you forget about your cares for a minute or two, I don't know what will.

I'm looking at the order of the answers with respect to the level of guilt. I'm not being very articulate but this is a great thread!

Is Bob Ross still on? Loved his happy tree leaf pokes, and highlights.

...probably in syndication, but convivial old Bob passed away in 1995.....

I've Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates.
H.R. PuffnStuff.
Comics (although saying graphic novels sounds more acceptable).
Sponge Bob Squarepants.

Looking at this list I see I've never really matured at all. Dammit, I think I'll go out and read the stocks and debentures page in the local financial magazine. That'll grow me up real quick!

 

[not_nadine]

Aww, his hair passed away too? I don't believe it. Cloud on, Bob

Airwolf had one the BEST theme music intros of any show, and that's saying a lot considering the 80s were filled with great themes (something sorely lacking in today's shows).
