It was pretty obvious in the first couple of episodes but they scaled that way back quickly.  Then they'd show Hyde lighting an incense stick so they could claim it wasn't advocating teen drug use.   :laugh2:

I will admit, though, That 70's Show is a masterpiece compared to BBT.

Also, Daria is excellent.

While I respect that you don't like Big Bang Theory, I think it's by far funnier than any of the shows you listed. That 70's show was funny for a few seasons but it has lost it's luster.
Arrested Development has to be the worst though...I thought it was dumb when I first saw it, I wanted to give it a chance so I rented the whole first season and it's still dumb...yeah there were a few laughs but the jokes were usually just lame. I'm probably in the minority with this as are you with Big bang theory.

I do want to check out Archer though...so we'll see.

We're talking about two different types of minorities.  Arrested Development's Metacritic score is 88 (user score is 97, though that's pretty meaningless) versus Big Bang Theory's 57.  Arrested Development is also at the top of virtually every best show of the decade list in existence regardless of the source.

I get that a lot of people watch Big Bang Theory.  But a lot of people eat Hamburger Helper and listen to Justin Beiber.  BBT is crap.   :cheers:

ChadTower:

Metacritic is crap too.  It's full of people who overthink everything and go out of their way to dislike stuff on principle rather than content.

Said the pot to the kettle  :P . . . Have you read your Glee comments in this thread?  

If critics are over-thinking things, how do you explain the shows with unanimously high ratings?  Why aren't those ones overthunk?
