My Guilty Pleasure TV Shows

Okay, so I have to admit that I watch a lot of tv. I didn't watch much when I first went to college but when my roommate brought a tv this year, I knew that I'd be going back to old habits. And it also doesn't help that you can stream everything online.

Everyone talks about shows like The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, Parks and Recreation, and so much more. Maybe even The Office if you go to my school.

Well, I'll be the first to tell you (and probably one of few) to say that I don't watch any of those shows. I have a very interesting and different taste in television, and sometimes I'm still figuring out why I like some of these shows. But if you want to get an idea of what I normally watch or keep up with on tv, here are a few of my favorites:

Baby Daddy: A guy unknowingly knocked up a girl and dropped the baby on his doorstep not too long after she was born. He's living with his brother and roommate, and along with his childhood best friend, Riley, and his mom, they all help him out in raising the child.

Ben and his brother Danny are hot, and baby Emma is so cute! On top of that, I just think that all the characters together are hilarious. Tucker, Ben's roommate, always ends up doing crazy things with their mom and you also see lots of Riley, Ben, and Danny exploring different relationships, even with Riley ending up with Ben at some point. And Bonnie, the mother, is a cougar. Enough said.

Awkward.: This is about a girl at Palos Hills High who had an unfortunate accident her freshman year, going through high school. Well, let's just say that the show truly lives up to its name.

This show is actually loosely based off of a high school not too far from my home town. They even reference the same cities and everything! The major change with the location was the high school's name from Verdes to Hills. When I first found out that this show is based off the local high school, I laughed because I could see why.

Switched at Birth: Two babies are switched at birth, and one of the mothers who knew for a long time finally fesses up and both families are learning to live together as a family for the sake of the girls. Oh and the girls? One grew up in a preppy, wealthy home, while the other grew up in a not-so-wealthy neighborhood that is predominantly Hispanic. That girl is a natural redhead and deaf as well.

I really enjoy sign language, so I appreciated the show's use of it. This show is more of a drama while the previous two are more comedies, and this show is a nice change for me. Enough drama, but not too much, unlike Pretty Little Liars, which I gave up on a few months ago after getting too impatient (and scared) with the storyline.

America's Next Top Model: This is basically a reality show to see who becomes "America's Next Top Model."

Lots of people wish for this show to be done with after having 20 cycles, but as someone who is really into fashion and wishes she were tall enough to model, I enjoy this show. I mostly watch for the photoshoots, but hating on a little drama doesn't hurt either.

Legend of Korra: This is a spin-off series to "Avatar: The Last Airbender," a series that ended a few years ago. Legend of Korra continues with Korra as the new Avatar, the one person in the world who can master all four abilities of water, air, earth, and fire, and she is navigating her abilities with the help of the previous Avatar's family and friends, as well as her own.

I binge-watched ATLA before the second season premiered last September. I loved the series before, but I loved it so much more after watching through it all again, because Korra as a strong female lead gets me so excited! She can really kick some butt!

What Not to Wear: This show ended last year, but I love it so much I put it on my list. WNTW was a show that took some of the worst dressers in the country and gave them a free, full-on makeover, with a new wardrobe, new make-up routine, and many times a new-found self confidence.

This is one of the first shows that got me into fashion when I first saw my niece watching it back in 2007. I haven't kept up with the last few episodes of the series due to being away at school, but I loved the valuable fashion lessons I learned from Clinton Kelly and Stacy London.

Other than WNTW and ANTM, all of these shows are either premiering a new season or ending a season this week. What are your favorite TV shows?
