It takes time to cultivate good taste in anything- movies, tv, music, whatever. So whenever somebody talks about the Big Bang Theory I can't really judge, they probably have more valuable things to do with their time than binge through The Knick.

Yeah basically anything that makes it more than 1 or so seasons is going to become popcorn media pretty much immediately. That's how things go, niche audiences like depth but you're going to get less viewers that way, it's an inherent flaw of capital driven art/entertainment.

Oh ok, I can agree that deal or no deal was a terrible game show and people who were actually in to it were also terrible. Also when it was still on the air I was broke as poo poo so if I had been a contestant I would've just taken whatever deal they first gave me

Pop idol, and every talent show that came after that.

Music channels.

Bazinga. (it's evil!)

Using a TV instead of a computer.

Spotify/netflix/hulu. Self-righteously paying for a business that distributes information that is built upon another system (the internet), that they pay for, that is perfectly good at distributing information.

Tbh: I actually think that those people just have different personalities, with different strengths and weaknesses, not lower IQs.

This actually hasn't been stated enough. For real Orange is the New Black is a show that is made for people with the IQ and attention span of children with some Lesbian stuff thrown in to make sure they can hook people even dumber.

House of Cards also got retarded

Daredevil is the worst full season of TV I've ever watched, so I am the idiot. I think about the fact I watched that entire show and I feel like a complete moron who shouldn’t be allowed to make his own decisions. One of the worst things I’ve ever done.

gently caress, I also watched Dexter. It’s me. I’m the pleb.
