Yeah, you should feel no guilt for loving '70s Sesame Street (though you should for making the all too common mistake of putting the ' in the wrong place!) If you'd said '90s Sesame Street that would be a justfiable guilty pleasure.
I don't have broadcast t.v. and I haven't in decades, but put me in front of one with a remote, and I'll find whatever the current version of the Dating Game/Love Connection may be and thoroughly enjoy watching the train wrecks. That's guilt.
I like listening to Art Bell a lot, though he's recently retired. I still listen to his replacements even though they aren't nearly as good in hopes of capturing the same UFO/Conspiracy theory geekdom rush. My wife is embarrased by this.
I've kind of come full circle with The Carpenters too, because I got into them when Sonic Youth were dropping their name all of the time due to the hipness of the irony. Thing is, I fell in love with the music and now could give a damn about the irony, and go for songs like "I Won't Last a Day Without You" that have no hipness quotient I know of.
