Guilty Pleasures

Does anyone else have guilty pleasures? (In searching about guilty pleasures on google, I actually found a book with this title: The Encyclopedia of Guilty Pleasures: 1,001 Things You Hate to Love by Sam Stall, Lou Harry and Julia Spalding). A guilty pleasure is something that you enjoy that you feel as if you shouldn't. Well, my latest guilty pleasure is FX's hit show Nip Tuck. How can you look at these men photographed here and not be interested in this show??? (Ok, so men with pretty faces are another guilty pleasure)

Here is a brief synopsis for you:

Nip/Tuck (premiered July 22, 2003) is an American drama television series created by Ryan Murphy for FX Networks. It follows the lives of two Miami plastic surgeons, Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon), as their lives fall apart under the stress of greed, envy, lust and crime. The show, while not strictly a soap opera, has some story arcs. In its debut season, Nip/Tuck was the highest-rated new series on basic cable, and the highest rated basic cable series of all for the 18-49 and 25-54 age demographics. The first season averaged about 3.25 million viewers an episode, and was released on DVD in the US on June 15, 2004. The second season averaged about 3.8 million viewers per episode, and was released on DVD in the US on August 30, 2005.

In 2005, Nip/Tuck won the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series. The third season debuted in the U.S. on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 and debuted in the UK on October 16, 2005.

I have this show recorded regularly on TiVO. I had about 15 episodes recorded and my sweetheart and I would watch several at a time. Now, I've watched all the old episodes and am caught up with the current season. This is so frustrating because I have to wait a whole week to catch the new episode! Last night was a great episode. Any other Nip/Tuck fans? Anyone else with guilty pleasures?
