Current DU-favored shows that you just don't "get," excluding "reality" shows

[Orrex]

Me, I simply don't "get" Big Bang Theory. I've seen about two dozen episodes and I can see where all the "jokes" are, but for the life of me I don't understand the fuss.

Yours?

[Archae]

1. Lost.

I know it's over, but it never began, IMO.

Oh, and even being a Sci-Fi fan going way back, I think "Firefly" sucked.

[one_voice]

20. Agree on Lost...

I tried more than once to watch..I just couldn't get into it.

Disagree on Firefly. I thought it was decent.

[chollybocker]

2. Glee.

And Dancing With the Unemployable.

And that show about the four sluts from New York.

[Pool Hall Ace]

14. Agreed, agreed, and

not sure which show you're talking about on that last one. That show that I thought wasn't on anymore, Sex and the City? If so, agreed. Even if not, I will most likely still agree. :)

[Flaxbee]

23. "sluts" is one hell of a loaded word, there

care to define the term? Men? Women? People who have lots of sex with a variety of different partners?

[petronius]

3. That silly show with those eagles - there's just no plot line or tension or anything

:shrug:

[Curmudgeoness]

26. LOL. It is an acquired taste. nt

[CBGLuthier]

4. I watch Community, Modern Family. and The Simpsons

I know there are a few more good shows but I don't watch them.

I have tried to see the humor in 2 and a half men. Did not find any. Same for several other sitcoms. All seem so lame.

The entire CSI franchise makes me want to vomit. The L&O franchise is a caricature of itself.

I never have watched much in the way of reality shows or contest shows. They serve as a reminder just how stupid most people are.

I know someone of intelligence who tried to watch BB theory. He said it depicts smart people the same stupid way they have always depicted smart people.

I do also really enjoy The 3 Stooges reruns. At least I know I am watching something kind of dumb and actually they were clever compared to most of the sitcom crap.

But at least I don't have cable so i am not paying for shit.

9. Community has been really good this year.

Parks and Recreation is the real gem though. :D

[MorningGlow]

5. Breaking Bad

The premise doesn't interest me in the least.

Oh--and I was anti-Sopranos when it was on. But then again, I'm against any entertainment that lets people "admire" the mob. Must be my Italian heritage and too many wide-eyed people asking me "Oooohhh is your family in the MAFIA????" when they find out my family's last name.

[Orrex]

6. "Glow" is an Italian name?

Who knew?

[MorningGlow]

7. Well, we dropped the "i" at the end when my grandparents came through Ellis Island

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. ...

:spray:

[Orrex]

13. Love it!

:rofl:

[Yavin4]

10. House, Grey's Anatomy, ER

I don't see the entertainment value of seeing people suffer from sickness and death.

[nadine_mn]

11. The Office, Grey's Anatomy

Never seen a whole episode, just can't stay interested

flog me now

[HopeHoops]

12. Anything with the word "real" in the title - isn't.

[Rosie1223]

15. Dexter

The main character is just too creepy for me.

[femmocrat]

16. I don't even know what "DU-flavored" shows are.

LOL

I don't watch much TV except MSNBC.

[UTUSN]

17. As a total Dem populist I've never understood how to be "popular" in DU, not that I will go away n/t

[Duer 157099]

18. I love Big Bang Theory, just absolutely love it

I savor every moment, every line. Especially the Sheldon ones.

Maybe it's because everyone I know is like that, I identify.

[applegrove]

19. I rented the Big Bang theory on recommendation of a friend who is really smart. I didn't

like the underlying put downs. Not for me.

[Curmudgeoness]

25. I hate Big Bang. Everyone told me I just had to watch it

since I am a science geek. I don't get it. Geek stereotypes, geeks with hot chicks (like that would EVER happen or they would even want the airhead chicks), stupid physics jokes. Ho hum.

[Brickbat]

21. None. I pretty much only watch sports, with the occasional PBS/BBC production thrown in.

[WildEyedLiberal]

22. I second your Big Bang Theory and raise you a Glee

BBT is just the same old stereotypical "nerd" humor in new packaging. I have some nerdy friends who like it, and yeah, I get most of the jokes, but it absolutely falls flat to me. I don't think it's anywhere near the uplifting cool-nerd show that people think it is.

And I really can't stand Glee. It's precious and cloying and too "clever" by half. And musical renditions of pop numbers are not really my thing to begin with.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

24. I'll see your glee... and raise you an American Idol.

'Cause we all know it's rigged.

[Kali]

27. I don't "get" tee vee

literally or figuratively:P

[DBoon]

28. My favorite show is "Pit Boss"

not sure where that fits in the DU hierarchy of coolness
