Don't watch something I'm never going to watch anyway? Well, okay!

(24 posts)4. It's a stupid show - I won't watch... But, not because of that asinine review....
I don't watch most sitcoms because they are so completely stupid. However, the examiner link points out:
This testimony of poor taste ends with credits rolling over a scene showing the veterinarians racing tortoises for money which the monkey is holding. Ha ha, racing turtles is something a script writer for 'Animal Practice' might do, but it highly unlikely a bona fide veterinarian would have the time or inclination to do at his or her practice.
Oh the horror! Someone racing turtles! And, it's "highly unlikely a bona fide veterinarian would have the time or inclination to do at his or her practice."
Oh really?! They have someone doing something stupid in a sitcom? Has he ever seen "The Office", "Seinfeld" or ANY other sitcom?!
What an idiot....

My only concern is that if the boycotts work does that mean I have to eat chicken sandwiches and watch a stupid sit-com?

Won't watch it again - and I work at a NBC station. Hated it. But then again I usually hate everything NBC puts out. Lame is a good word to describe the NBC Prime schedule!
