They’re making an A-Team movie! It is sad how insanely happy this makes me. The movie will probably be terrible, as so many of the television show movie remakes have been in recent years (The Dukes of Hazzard, anyone?), but I’ll be one of the first people in line to see it.
Which brings me to my topic of the day — guilty pleasures.
We all have them. Books and movies and television shows that we love, even if they’re not considered hip and cool by other folks. I thought I’d share some of mine in the next few posts, starting with television shows.
Now, you know of my love of The A-Team. I also have to admit that I’m a Matlock junkie. I’ll watch it anytime it’s on — even if I’ve seen the episode before. I just love trying to figure out who the killer is before the end. I’ll also watch Murder, She Wrote and the Perry Mason television movies on occasion, but I like Matlock much better. Probably because it’s set in the South. And Andy Griffith is a lot funnier than Angela Lansbury and Raymond Burr.
I usually catch Matlock on Sunday afternoons, during the Hallmark Channel’s Crimetime Sunday marathons, which I am also becoming addicted to. Murder mysteries and crime shows. All. Day. Long!
I also like Walker, Texas Ranger (also shown on the Hallmark Channel, curiously enough). Sure, it’s a cheesy action show, and Chuck Norris basically has one expression. But hey — I love me some cheesy action. It’s kind of fun when the dialogue is so cliched you can quote it before the character does. :rolleyes:
And I will always watch the Project Runway marathons on Bravo, no matter how many times I’ve seen the episodes already. It’s a sickness, I know. But I also love me some fashion throwdowns.
What about you? Got a guilty pleasure or television show you love? Share in the comments.
