Me personally? I did not care for Game of Thrones.
Walking dead Lost All Marvel and DC movies
Cowboy Bebop is really… okay? It feels like nothing is happening, although Samurai Champloo is the same but still entertaining enough that I’ve made it halfway through
The Princess Bride. Only USians care about that movie, which is absolutely not the most quotable movie (that goes to Commando).
The office. Just don’t get what’s funny or good about it. I tried giving it an honest chance about 6 episodes and didn’t laugh once. 0/5
US or UK? I really didn’t find the US version funny in the slightest. And I dont mean in an elitist sense, I’m hardly the greatest fan of the office UK either, but there is something about the absurdity levels of many popular US sitcoms which never feel right to me. Like the characters are just so silly that they would never have been in those jobs in the first place. Scrubs and Brooklyn 99 are similar in that aspect for me, I just don’t find the ungrounded absurdity funny
Try Community, it’s like the office but with humour
I have tried to start the office no less than 5 times. I even tried someone’s suggestion of skipping season 1.
I just can’t get into it or find it funny.
Also something about Steve Carrel annoys me the moment I see him. Along with Ben Stiller, who’s not in it but same effect
Mr. Robot. I can’t tell if this is good or terrible.
The Walking Dead. You may now proceed with my execution.
They spent like 3 whole episodes looking for a little girl who wandered off the road she was explicitly told not to wander off and that’s when I fell off
Ex-wife and I were really into it for several years, then overnight, we just didn’t give a shit anymore.
Isn’t that universally considered garbage? I mean it’s so bad even people who watch it can’t deny
TV. All of it. Films. Most of them.
Basically any kind of “reality TV”.
Breaking Bad. I didn’t start it until maybe S4 or early in S5 so I marathoned everything and it got really cyclical really fast. Jesse does something stupid, they scream fight saying they don’t need each other, goes separate ways he fucks up more then they realize they need each other and get back to cooking then Jesse does something stupid…plus Walt says he needs just a little more money then suddenly it’s gone so he starts over again…
I personally hate gore so I dislike most horror. I do like psychological and eldritch horror.
It’s not universally praised, but I think the overall sentiment for the Battalestar Galactica reboot is very positive. Even as a huge sci-fi guy and knowing the post 9/11 context of the show airing, never have I ever gone from all-in to hate watch so fast with a show. It has some fantastic stuff, maybe even, debatably, some of the best sci-fi/drama moments of all time. But it utterly and completely fails to deliver on its own premise in such a fantastic and increasingly absurd way as it goes on that I only finished it out of sheer morbid curiosity of how bad it could get.
Is this the one from about 20 years ago, or has there been a reboot of the reboot?
I both love and hate the BSG reboot. I found myself skipping through most of the Baltar scenes. There was also so much shaky cam and TV drama. But the look and feel and military stuff was fantastic.
I liked that first/early episode. Something about 33 minutes until the bad guys catch up to them. However the rest of the show was just watching everyone keep secrets from each other so the story could happen. A lot like Lost. Not my thing.
Definitely falls into the debate of most epic sci-fi moments. From what (little) I understand, 33 was the realization of Ron Moore’s original vision for how dire voyager was supposed to be before they TNGd it.
The mini series is phenomenal, the last season is… something. If I recall, didn’t they rush things because of the writers guild strike?
Saw a quote from GRRM on wikipedia under critiques specifically about being a crappy way to end a story, semi ironic to me considering GOT (yeah, know he didn’t write the ending) ended so poorly I’ve never done a rematch. I’d probably rewatch the first few seasons of bsg though.
Friends: a celebration of hedonism and shallowness.
Seinfeld: basically the same.
Seinfeld I thought had a lot of clever and funny parts. Even though I like Jerry less and less as the years go on, there were so many great supporting characters.
Friends though, any time that show is playing I feel like intelligence is being sucked from my brain. And not in a “so stupid it’s funny” way, it’s just empty and stupid.
What made Seinfeld funny was the situations they set up, like the one where Jerry and George pretend to be the people listed on the sign held up by a limo driver in order to get a free ride home from the airport, only to discover that the people they’re impersonating are white supremacists on their way to speak at a rally at Madison Square Garden (for good measure, Kramer and Elaine are at MSG to protest the white supremacists). But watching Curb Your Enthusiasm all these years has made it clear that it was really Larry David that was creating these situations, and his show does it a lot better.
The other thing that made Seinfeld funny was the copious amounts of weed I was smoking at the time. These days, it just isn’t really that funny, and the
soundtrack(I meant laugh track – the soundtrack with the funky bass line was great) just makes it worse. There was never anything funny about Friends. I watched it because I was in love with Courtney Cox.
Seinfeld had much better writing than Friends
I liked friends when i was a kid/teen. Bit re-watching it as an adult, not so much. Everyone but joey and chandler annoy me now
Any show with a laugh track I can’t stand.
Star Wars. I watched the middle three way back when. Didn’t care enough to watch the others.
I don’t care for most of the Star Trek movies
I loved the first Star Wars as a kid and also Empire Strikes Back. I was distraught when I learned that George Lucas had planned nine movies in total; the thought of having to wait that long to see them was unbearable. I ended up not particularly caring about Return of the Jedi (the muppet really ruined that movie for me, along with the Ewok “song” at the end). I’ve still never even seen the prequels, and I only watched the three new ones last year because I wanted to see if they were as bad as everyone said. They were.
Getting to the point where I don’t hear the laugh track anymore is a major feat, and a show has to be very funny for me to want to try to get to that point.
Frasier or IT Crowd, for example, are a couple that come to mind.
I find the laugh track insulting. The laugh usually starts before the punchline so I really don’t hear the joke.
Which ones are the middle three?
The ones that came out first. A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back. I forget the name of the second one.
Star Wars Episode IV : A New Hope
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of The Jedi
If I say Big Bang Theory am I just preaching to the choir?
I abhor BBT. Community was kind of its rival and I absolutely loved it. I saw a quote about the two they said “Big Bang Theory is a dumb show about smart people and Community is a smart show about dumb people.”
It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out.
Lol whoever made this is high on their own farts
They would have been more honest to label the left circle “shows I like” and the right “shows I don’t like”
I don’t know the date it originally dropped, but it definitely has some vintage internet superiority vibes. But it’s also not not accurate
I liked it the way people enjoy fast food as a guilty pleasure. It’s best to enjoy it without expecting anything substantial.
You are, but I still sing with it
Beverley hills show in my youth
That was just pure bullshit
Beverley Hillbillies or Beverley Hills 90210? Or even The Hills? I watched The Hills briefly and thought it was pretty good because I thought it was a reality TV show about incredibly vapid young people.
Beverly Hills 90210
The other ones never reached me in Europe - at least not to my knowledge
I felt that the whole Clampett/Drysdale saga rang true.
There is no way Drysdale wouldn’t have stolen every cent the Clampbetts had, and even the most backwards hillbilly knows what a swimming pool is.
