Big bang theory is loving dire though

I have no goddamn idea how anyone can stand it

I watched a couple of episodes and there was just nothing appealing about any part of it. Just awkward, stupid, and unfunny. Nothing but unpleasantness.

I am extremely curious about Young Sheldon, but not curious enough to actually watch it. The fact that it's survived multiple seasons is fascinating.

I'm surprised it took until page two for Everybody Loves Raymond to get brought up, and no one has mention King Of Queens yet. Usually in these bad tv show threads, those two get a lot of grief immediately. My wife watched them all the time, and from what I saw, they weren't that bad. Home Improvement was a lot worse.

I never saw Everybody Loves Raymond, enjoyed King of Queens quite a bit, and only ever tried to watch Home Improvement because I thought Taran Smith was cute but it was too awful for even my preteen/teenage hormones to ignore.

I saw a couple of episodes and I was like this is the big deal funny thing everyone likes? I mean, it was kinda funny? But also kind of annoying.

Yeah, my mom tried to get me to watch Schitt's Creek like five times, and I finally gave in and was basically like "okay, well, that was fine." It was akin to the reaction I had when I watched Hamilton. The positive reaction wasn't totally out of left field, but the amount of EFFUSIVE praise was baffling.

I've only seen a little bit of This Is Us, like maybe a couple of episodes, but I found the setups really hilariously on-the-nose.

I liked South Park when I was younger. I also liked Drawn Together. They're both pretty vile now though.

I liked the South Park movie, and it's one of the few movies I've watched over and over and over again, but that wasn't since like 2006 so I don't know how it would hodl up now. The DVDA version of "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" owns though.

As far as Drawn Together goes, I always absolutely despised that show, and it was super annoying having people tell me that I only disliked it because I was too sensitive or a raging butthurt SJW or whatever. Like, no, actually I disliked it because it was stupid and confused brutality/grossness for humor.

Jim and Pam loving suck and were the worst part of The Office at any point. And you know what, Tim and Dawn can gently caress off, too. YEAH I SAID IT.

I feel weird for having opinions about Jim & Pam, because it shouldn't be that big a deal that they suck, but I think their suckitude is more glaring because of the show's obvious ability to write more exciting & interesting (if not outright better) couples. Dwight & Angela, Phyllis & Bob, even Michael & Jan...I think the only couple on the show that was worse than them was Gabe & Erin.

The thing I realized about The Office when I re-watched the show on Comedy Central, I think twice, during several extended hospitalizations over the past two years, is that essentially every single character is an absolutely terrible person.

I'm having trouble figuring out what could possibly make Erin, Phyllis, or Darryl terrible people, but I haven't rewatched it in a very long time.

Outrail posted:

Great, now I'm trying to think of one character on the.show who isn't garbage.

I think the gay accountant guy is mostly decent. And maybe Toby managed to be a good guy and the worst at the same time? It's been a while.

Oscar had sex with a married man, and Toby -- the HR person, mind you -- hit on Pam.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:

It gave us Debra Jo Rupp in her prime. Most of the cast sucked, but Kitty Forman is probably my favorite written TV mom.

Agreed on both counts. What ever happened to Ashton Kutcher anyway? The only thing I've heard about him recently was about he & Mila Kunis's weird gross hygiene. I suppose the possibility that he's just coasting on her Family Guy checks is nonzero.

2010s: the office. They tricked office workers into watching it with the gimmick of "what if your boring terrible job with dull witted coworkers was marginally less boring". Sure big bang theory was less funny, but I never had to deal with anyone who pretended it was.

Yeah, I stopped watching when they introduced Robert California because he was too similar to one of my bosses. It just got too real to be fun.

quote:

2000s: mind of mencia. I'm not sure if it was popular or just scheduled next to a show that was, but oh boy was it tedious.

I was going to say that it was only popular because everyone dunked on it, but it turns out that the second season was Comedy Central's ninth highest rated program and the show only ended when Carlos Mencia chose not to film a fifth season. drat.

1990s: full house was trash, iconic trash. Every way it's possible to be not funny, it was not funny that way.

The Papouli episode was some serious poo poo though.

You can't, because, while always good, the show is rarely great or memorable. It's serviceable.

Meanwhile we're still taking episodes and moments from the good Simpsons seasons 20 to 30 years later.

parks and recrblahblah was never funny. a guest or two might have had a funny bit, but the rest of the show makes me wonder where i'm supposed to laugh

Parks & Rec was more "aw" than "lol", and after a while, I just couldn't take the cookie-cutter one-dimensional characters and saccharine tone. Despite being a serious completionist when it comes to shows and series seriously, I watched all the Star Wars sequels :cry:, I didn't watch the last two seasons, and I have no plans to.

That said, I'm also not really sure why people hated Mark so much, so I might have been interpreting the show incorrectly somehow.
