Commit TV show heresy here!!
Cheap rip off of the movie heresy thread where we replace movies with TV shows, but I need to get this off of my chest:

I didn't/don't like:

Seinfeld. Soup Nazi? Not funny. Elaine dancing? Not funny.

Friends.

Oprah OR Dr. Phil

Grey's Anatomy

ER


I like House, Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, and almost anything on National Geographic, Discovery Family, or History Channels.

2. M*A*S*H wasn't all that funny.
And the final episode was cheesy beyond belief.

13. I liked M*A*S*H for the first 2 or 3 seasons
It started getting preachy and annoying after Season 2. Once Frank Burns was gone though, it was utter and complete dreck. Alan Alda's wimpiness set the Progressive cause back 50 years dammit and was the MOST IMPORTANT reason Reagan was elected......

16. Fascinating theory
Alan Alda responsible for Ronald Reagan. I'll ask DH the Republican what he thinks of that.

I agree about M*A*S*H getting all preachy. Too many of their jokes were clearly anti-military (as opposed to just anti-war, which I could dig with a vengeance).

I was not into the Alan Alda "sensitive man" stuff (but then I was just a kid in the late 70s).

15. Good choices
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 05:42 PM by Rob H.
I watched a couple of episodes of Two and a Half Men because a friend of mine couldn't stop raving about how funny he thinks it is. I disagree.

10. Ugly Betty has to be the least appealing thing on TV, including American Idol
Nothing about that show interests me in the slightest.

12. Friends was shit.
Unfortunately, shit is in heavy syndication it seems.

I love Two and a Half Men, Big Bank Theory and Animal Planets lineup. I also like that Beach Patrol show. An hour of hottie lifeguards and bikinis on the beach. Yummo!

17. 'Sex and the City'
"Wow, we're really screwed up — but we wear trendy clothes and get laid a lot."



"Friendsfeld" was funny if you're into cliquey gen-Xers.

21. Sex and the City sucked!
If that show had been about men, women's groups woulda been howling.

23. I gotta agree with you about Seinfeld.....
although I did like pre-"booze makes me a stupid racist" Michael Richards. And Grey's Anatomy is so annoying I feel like slapping the TV.
