Unpopular Opinions about TV

[Aljam]

I only watch TV for the local news and maybe sportsball. Otherwise it's a glorified monitor. I also occasionally watch y and r and try and play how convuluted is this show gonna get?

Bob’s Burgers is just “meh” to me. I don’t dislike it, even laughed a few times watching it but I don’t get all the hype for it either, at least in my circle telling me it’s a must-watch. It’s fine, but it’s not great

While I disagree with the idea that he's a redditor, mainly because he makes fun of troons and niggers

I was refering to him almost always being right and an "intellectual " who believes in nothing and gets away with being a sarcastic dick with nearly everyone.

We all know if House met Redditor fans of his, he would find them extremely obnoxious

And as for the troons and niggers part, it goes to show that House MD wouldnt get away with some of that stuff these days so "based" on that.

but its just inevitable for him, thats kind of the point of his character.

Guess if there is a God in the House M.D universe, it is called 'The Status Quo'.

At least the end of the series is refreshingly good compared to most shows.

I will admit the "final arc" had some flaws but it does show House at his most selfless (in his own way).

Guess its not a finale without a main character's death.

While I did like the earlier seasons I can agree the series has gone way downhill. To be honest I'm surprised it hasn't been canceled because of low ratings or even a movie.

Succession and The Bear are proof that using excessive amounts of swear words and crude language makes one question how these two shows are considered “comedy-drama(s)”.

Also, Shameless went from parodying hedonistic and liberal propaganda to actually turning into the things it parodied.

Breaking Bad is supremely overrated and unwatchable a second time through. Cranston is a good actor, but he has no business being in the same conversation as Gandolfini.

Everybody Loves Raymond is one of the best sitcoms of the 90's and early 2000's. Fellow millennials, for some reason, have a burning, seething hatred for this show and I always get attacked when I say I enjoy it. I think my siblings and I are legitimately the only millennials on the planet who love this show.

They hate it because it never attempted to be hip or subversive, which is what millennials are told to like in their sitcoms. The earlier seasons have quite a bit of various comedians who worked on the show. I happened to rewatch the show a couple years ago and it had a strong 4-5 seasons. Like most sitcoms, it overstayed its welcome at the end but yeah, it’s underrated.

I recently re-watched Arrested Development (within the past 2-3 years), and ... Yeah, I don't think the show holds up on multiple rewatches. It's great to watch once ... But it has that kind of humor where when you've already seen it once, you don't really find much entertainment value in seeing it again and it's boring.

The creator of the show revealed that the entire intent of the show is to lampoon how far out of touch white people could be, which instantly ruined the show for me.

I actually think the show stayed pretty consistently good throughout its entire run. I saw the beginnings of it starting to run out of ideas by the final season, but then it ended at the right time, in my opinion. The final season has some hilarious episodes, and I thought that the series finale was pretty much perfect.

And, yeah, I think you're right. Millennials collectively love things that are subversive, sarcastic, and "self aware." Personally, I'm sick of that meta shit.

I find Everybody Loves Raymond to be funny because it takes the little annoying things/quirks about life and family and dials them up to an 11. I personally find that kind of stuff to be funny. And, admittedly, I find the show to be even funnier now as an adult (since I'm married and a parent now-- I can relate to so much more of it now haha).

Also, keep in mind that the sitcoms I grew up watching for the most part were on Nick-At-Nite. I may be a millennial, but the sitcoms I grew up watching and loving were the things our parents and grandparents were watching. lol. My favorite sitcom of all time remains to be I Love Lucy, and that's been the case since I was in elementary school.

Did he say this recently? Because that would make sense given the current "political climate," where dumbasses who made popular things from back in the day are apologizing for their work in the cringiest ways.

Anyway, the Chad first two seasons of SOAP versus the Virgin Arrested Development:

Malcolm in the Middle is annoying.

Gridiron Heights even quipped about that when they parodied Succession:

Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing has probably done so much damage to society

I know Ryan Gosling as Black Panther is a meme but I would watch a movie with themes like this. But not as a gotcha to wokists because that's retarded. White super hero raised by an african tribe in a world where african mythology is real is an unique idea. From a storytelling perspective it's interesting and I would like to see it explored without the culture war Chuds vs. Wokists bullshit. We need to grow up and leave this ugly war behind.

I don't think such a movie, book, tv show or video game will be made but I think it should. But it needs to be made without any current day politics in mind. Of course there would be screeching but if it's a good movie it will be a success.

I kinda miss the era of 22 minute episodic tv shows....

Better call saul is superior to breaking bad in every way. BB has terrible actors save for those who return for BCS.

Archer is one of the best adult shows ever made and is criminally underrated. The writing is consistent and apart from 1 shaky season, it nails 13/14 of them, with great jokes, throwbacks, settings and animation. It never overstays it's welcome and while I'm sad it's over, I'm glad it didn't stay around to be ruined like family guy, simpsons or south park.
