However, there was one show that used to air before "Star Trek: Voyager" on UPN...it was called "7 Days" or something like that. Essentially, there was this government installation that had the technology to send one person back in time up to seven days, and it was his job to avert various disasters and such. Not a bad premise, but essentially limited, which is why I'm pretty sure it's not running anymore.

They're re-running that now on Bravo in the UK. Remember watching it first a couple of years ago. Pretty lame, but there's only the Simpsons reruns on at the same time, so what's a sci-fi fan going to do?

Shows that I've been told should be my dirty little secret(s) my someone or the other:

Angel, Stargate SG-1, Queer As Folk, Oz, Trading Spaces, Deepwater Black (or Mission:Genesis depending on what part of the world you're from), Space Cases(I know its for kids, but it rocks! Bill Mummy co-created and guest starred in it!)

Shows that actually are my dirty little secret(s): Roswell (tops the list no question, made for 14 year olds and I lapped up every bit of it), Andromeda, Buffy after the second season (come on folks, we all have that moment where we thought it peaked then started its slow descdent into crap but contiuned to watch anyway. Season 2 was mine.)

Thats all I've got for now, but I'm sure that someone will remind me of something else and I'll have to add that too.

Those who restrain desire, do so because thiers is weak enough to be restrained.

Degrassi, a Canadian production, started out as Kids of Degrassi Street and Degrassi Junior High. I think it has a certain charm. The Kids are good actors and they deal with a lot of teen issues. And now they have a new generation in Degrassi which started in 2001 which is probablt what you are watching.

I have to agree with Ciara...The Food Network is my downfall. We don't have cable, but whenever we're out of town somewhere, and our hotel carries TFN...well, let's just say that hubby and the boys are sick of it.

1) M*A*S*H

2) Stargate SG1

3) Iron Chef

That's pretty much it. I don't watch much in the way of T.V. shows. I do like the History Channel, and AMC for the old Classic movies. I am a sucker for Westerns too.

For some reason, all of my favorite shows come on late at night. While I can't find anything worth my time from six to ten, at 11:30 I can watch The Tonight Show, Dharma and Greg, or Drew Carey. I also like Saturday Night Live and M*A*S*H. The Simpsons and King of the Hill are fairly good, enough so I watch every new episode. If I'm just going to waste my life on the couch, than I'll watch some game shows, the news, Frasier or Malcolm in the Middle. Wow, I just realized how depressing my life is.

Of course, If I had cable I'd just flip between the History channel and Great American Country 24/7.

Hey! Iron Chef isn't lame! That show kicks ass!

Glad to see I'm not the only Queer as Folk soap watcher. I've even got a party scheduled for the last weekend in Feb. when S3 comes out on dvd. None of us have SHOWTIME so we're always a year behind.

We're thinking that the next time we go to a con, even though it's not sf, we'll dress as QaF people. I get to be Debbie. I'm the only one with enough tacky wigs to pull it off. LOL!

Watched Roswell Re-runs on SciFi this morning. again confirming that the target audence was every hormone crazed teen in the world. I could not get enough and I sucked up every last second that I could.

Some other guilty plesure that have since come to mind: The Invisible Man on SciFi (again with the unfair swift end) Highlander. don't ask me to explain. I don't think I could. 7 Days. Changing Rooms, Ground Force and the like on the BBC America. For a time it was Charmed, but even that got to stuped for me to wrap my brain around. Smallvill? VERY Superman,90210. there is nothing wrong with that. Let's here it for the old school Junkyard Wars!!
Last on my list of the very guilty plesures: anything written by Laurell K. Hamelton.

Ah, Space Cases! I loved that show. For me it was all about Jewel as Catalina!
And I love Trading Spaces, but I'm not feeling too guilty about it.

Roswell... indeed a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm almost certain I'll buy the DVDs.

I have no guilt in any of my other shows. Except for maybe Charmed. Yep. Guilty over that one.

Oh, wait! I've thought of one. Radio Free Roscoe. For the life of me, I can't understand why... but I can't seem to change the channel with that one. It's very sad. This just started a few days ago. I'm hoping to break it before it becomes a problem.
