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.

This is one of those deliberately-funny-pot-kettle-posts, right?

The sarcasm detection is strong with this one.   :laugh2:

There aren't too many shows that I dislike, but not too many that I have to watch every episode.  I've always enjoyed Curb Your Enthusiasm, Family Guy, The Shield, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and most times Survivor.  Also, I miss the reality show 'The Mole'.

The one show that I really just don't get, and I'd have to say is considered one of the most popular, is Two And A Half Men.  I have yet to snicker or chuckle once during that show.  Maybe I just find it too predictable.  A close 2nd would be Big Bang Theory.

I can't believe I forgot about this pile of crap.  It's supposedly the number 1 comedy but it's never funny and the plot is nearly identical from episode to episode.  I know 3 people that like it, all over 40.

There's really just NOTHING on tv much anymore that's worth spending my time with...   the Wife and I almost gave up tv completely when LOST finished last year, but we got into watching Biggest Loser (mainly for Jillian) and that's still about the extent of our TV watching.  (We're on the local digital channels, no cable or satellite.)   The networks' idea of comedy, drama and "reality" just really doesn't appeal.

As for references, I don't care.  That's like listening to the Miley Cyrus because she drops arcade or Star Wars references.  If all I want is references I'll skip BBT and read Wikipedia.  At least then there's the possibility, however slight, that I might be exposed to something funny.  :)

+1

Family Guy and Big Bang Theory are by far the funniest US shows on at the moment (although admittedly they don't face much competition).

That being said, I can (sort of) understand why someone might not like BBT. Its structure is a bit formulaic, and the canned laughter can grate after a while. But Family Guy is comedy gold. Far funnier than The Simpsons.

I guess Shmokes must be watching those shows in the wrong way.  ;)
