Lycaon Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 So much outright hate for Big Bang Theory, when Jersey Shore is so much more deserving. I just don't get it. To each their own, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 No one ever told me Jersey Shore was good. I have a hard time with laugh tracks. They make my knuckles white with inner tension. The constant references in lieu of jokes make me feel like I'm being manipulated by men who scarcely understand the things they're referencing. It's just too standard of a sitcom. I don't like standard sitcoms. IT Crowd is much better at buttering my bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not meaning to attack, just don't understand the hate that the series gets, especially when there's worse out there that doesn't seem to get that degree of hate. IT Crowd is indeed quite good, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The Scrubs pattern: Joke, quirky comment, imaginary flashback, lame insult, cue popular music montage while something sad happens, credits roll, I throw up in my own mouth. Aw man, that's the later seasons. It was so much more than that. I do see how people couldn't like it, but that doesn't make you less of a monster for doing so.

Thelogan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Wasn't taken as an attack. If anyone was attacking, it was definitely me. I can't explain the backlash. I imagine it has something to do with building some kind of expectation. And FUCK Scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I tried but the hole in the DVD is too small and it took a good 2 inches of dickskin with it on the second thrust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) I think the Big Bang Backlash comes from it reinforcing those terrible "nerd" stereotypes that are terrible, but the show somehow thinks it makes it seem all cool? Everytime they reference a video game or star trek it's like the show is patting itself on the back for getting these references. S'why I'm not a fan at least.

Iambaytor Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The Big Bang Theory has the same problem as AC (After Cancellation) Family Guy and, as and inflated and infinitely more horrible example Epic Movie/Meet the Spartans/etc. It thinks that showing you something you recognize is equivalent to being funny, they use references as a form of non-sequitor humor that works for a while but gets old fast.

Thelogan Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Dan Harmon wishes he had made fun of his Community bosses more It's been several months since Dan Harmon was booted from NBC's Community, and in that time he's opened up in a lengthy, heartfelt blog post, given some confessional interviews, bemoaned his inability to create the perfect TV tranquilizer for America's brainwashed automatons, and then received two separate offers to develop new shows for Fox and CBS—you know, the circle of showrunner life. But people still want to talk Community and Harmon continues to oblige, most recently in an interview with KCRW's The Business where, typically, he both blames himself ("I would have fired me") and points an accusatory finger ("We’re going to smother it with a pillow very quietly," he says of NBC's decision to put the show on hiatus and then make a shortened fourth season without him, then later scoffs at network president Bob Greenblatt's request to make it "more grounded" by noting that Greenblatt only watched five episodes). Still, he really is trying to move on, saying his possible multi-camera Fox and CBS pilots are his attempts at "pleasing everyone," and expressing hope that he'll prove he's employable this time. But that doesn't mean Harmon has no regrets: In fact, the only thing he says he wished he'd done differently was to have "made a little more fun of the people I'll never work with again"—people like Sony programming head Kim Rozenfeld, whom Harmon reveals is the butt of several jokes in "Digital Exploration Of Interior Design." The whole subplot about getting a bunch of notes from some guy named Kim—which everyone insists is a girl's name—was Harmon "trying to get under [Rozenfeld's] skin," he says. "There's just a lot of jokes about how Kim is a girl's name, and who cares about his notes?" So now whenever you watch that episode you can share in the inside joke of Harmon making fun of his boss, before being filled with sadness that that sort of fucking around indirectly led to the show you liked changing forever.

Mr. Hakujin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I was wondering what happened w/ their premiere. Nice to see the writing still has bite even w/ Harmon gone.* *Granted, it was only 90 seconds, but we gotta keep hope alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm wondering if they moved it to February so that NBC's Ratings wouldn't go down as far when football season ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Just film the finale, dump it on DVD and let's put this thing to bed. Lets just drop the pretenses, the dream is dead, long live the dream. Just give us the ending we've been waiting for and let's move on.
