Once Upon a Time = Guilt + Nostalgia
You like stories. You read, write, and teach stories. It’s just like Brothers Grimm… It’s just like fairy tales… You’re watching it for the stories.

The Office: "Guilty" pleasure?
Jim’s pranks. Dwight’s antics. Pam’s innocence. Michael’s… absurdity. What’s not to love about the long-since-finished show The Office?

Dive Down Gravity Falls
I don’t think there’s much dispute over the fact that shows made for an adult audience (especially ones in recent years) have the freedom to explore more themes and darker twists, show tits, and in general be more fucked up. And while there’s nothing quite like sitting down for hours at a time slurping up a series until you give up on whatever else you had planned for that day, it always leaves me with two very unpleasantly opposing feelings.

So...Parking Wars?
As we left 2020 somewhere in the dark past behind us (not that 2021 has been much better), I spent those final few hours before the new year began squeezing in the season finale of The Office. I, and many other fans of the show, spent the precious weeks before January 1st binge watching The Office one last time. For me it was the 5th time through? Maybe 6th? Because Netflix had the audacity to remove it so NBC could hoard the streaming rights for themselves. I get it, but...come on.

The Big Bang Binge
As an aspiring physics student, the Big Bang Theory was my guilty pleasure comfort watch during my A-levels. Whilst studying Physics at university, I began to understand Sheldon's whiteboard scribbles and went on to binge all 12 seasons. Yes, I'm the worst human being alive. No, I don't regret it one bit.

Stuck on Doom Patrol
Grab a cupcake and let me explain. I am a new HBOMax subscriber. To be honest, years ago I had been a HBO piggybacker and I loved their array of original series. So when the pandemic hit, I had subscribed to several streaming networks just to keep the new stuff rolling in to keep the masses entertained. Color me surprised when I found out that the DC universe had combined all of its content into HBOMax. I was pretty excited actually. I had been wanting to finish the Harley Quinn cartoon series. (FYI, it's also pretty funny, awkward, gorey.)

Return to Eternia
There’s an amazing moment in one of my family’s old Christmas videos that always makes me happy no matter how many times I watch it or how many decades have passed since it was filmed. It starts with me digging through my stocking and showing my mom all the cool stuff Santa left for me the night before. I’m clearly happy to have this stuff, but the idea of Santa is still new to me and I’m a little dumbstruck and subdued – not quite as jubilant as you’d expect a young boy to be. Then it happens. My older sister, always far more interested in my presents than her own, says my name and calls attention to something I apparently didn’t notice across the living room. My mouth falls open, my eyes widen, and I shout, “MY HE-MAN!” Immediately I jump away from my stocking and rush over to take a closer look.

Lost in Riverdale
There is a show that I have been following ever since it hit the CW, and that show is none other than Riverdale. I will do my best not to include any spoilers, even though there are five seasons, so there is an extensive range of events that I could mention here. I am not exactly sure what keeps me hooked when it comes to Riverdale, but I am stuck watching it even thru some of the craziest storylines. Sometimes I think about the show as a guilty pleasure because it can be good and terrible, and sometimes just what I needed to make my week better. It makes me happy, angry, and sad, and sometimes I wonder, what keeps me watching the show?

Slightly Obsessed with His dark Materials
My guilty pleasure is currently, His Dark Materials. The highlights of lockdown is sitting down on the sofa at the end of a long day, hot brew in hand, and watching this series. It is based on the books by Phil Pullman. After watching season one, last year, I was quick to buy the books and read them. The books became a favorite on my shelf. The tv series follows the books very closely, and if anything, goes deeper into details.

Dr. Phil: The Talk Show That Makes Me Feel Multiple Emotions At Once
For all you Dr. Phil lovers out there, I'm sure you can have some degree of relatability for my love and 5-year obsession with the Dr.Phil show! After watching a crazy episode from The Dr. Phil House: Brat Camp released in 2008 and another episode of a young, skinny, attractive, blonde troubled-teen girl from Detroit, Michigan in 2015, I felt the urge to watch more episodes of Dr. Phil, which led to an addiction in the winter of 2016. Since I was experiencing mental health and addiction issues of my own during that time, I believed that watching a collection of Dr. Phil episodes on YouTube every night would give me the chance to seek validation from the other people on the show. I felt alone, so I wanted to see other people struggle with the same issues I was struggling with, to get me to realize that I wasn't "alone".

"If You're Fated, It Doesn't Matter If You Choose or Not."
I realised I didn’t go much into the actual fandom or the books and films in my last post, I kind of just talked about my own experience. Is that the kind of thing you want to read? Or do you want more of a rounded ‘this is the fandom, this is what it does’? I talked about how big the fandom got and how that became intimidating. So this time I’m going to talk a little about the smaller fandoms.

When a Girl Met the World
Being a proud child of the 90’s and the glorious array of sitcoms that ensued, I always say with great pride that Boy Meets World is a classic and an all-time favorite. It’s easy to feel guilt free about defending one of the sitcom golden era’s most beloved shows. From the endearing, yet thought provoking episodes of Cory’s youth, to the later years that deal with some of life’s bigger problems with an endlessly hopeful and hilarious insight, the show was a household staple in many living rooms across the country. That pride, however, did not translate to my best kept secret guilty pleasure, of also falling in love with the sequel series; Girl Meets World.
