I watch Cops, because it is comedy. Scrubs is a funny one too, I watch it for the hot blonde.

Thanatos 2007-07-31 02:48 PM

Oh yeah.. Scrubs, too. I love that show. It's so random.

I don't have anything against TV, just don't watch it a lot.
I like scrubs, SEX AND THE CITY (i know...), Family guy, simpsons..etc. I just dispise the stupid fucking reality shit they have on know. Sometimes if that's all that's on our 1 channel we'll watch it to make fun of them.

the one we recently saw was hells kitchen, the blonde "cute" one as kaneda says is fucking retarded. hahaha

I watch a lot of the same shows as Thanatos (minus the reality one), but I don't watch much TV at all.

I've been watching a bit more since I quit World of Warcraft though.

Ditto on that. I rarely ever watched TV when I was playing WoW.

A watch a lot of TV now, even while I'm playing my games. I swear, it's like I've been wearing a straight jacket for the past 2 years and now I'm free from it. Quitting WoW was an awesome move.

Yeah, looking forward to Warhammer though, but that's for another thread. ;)

The programming is terrible and almost exclusively appeals to the lowest common denominator. Americans are stupid and so is their television.

Some shows can be clever and funny, but these are far and few between. They almost always end up failing for being "too intelligent." [I've seen this term used a number of times, even in newspaper articles.] An example of this would be Arrested Development, which has to be the best series made in the last decade. FOX canned it.

Television shows (and especially commercials) are becoming increasingly ADHD and are shortening attention spans. Robot Chicken, which you mentioned, is basically the #1 offender.

Honestly, what is there to like on TV? The news is bullshit, the sitcoms are terribly written, and reality TV is just making Americans stupider. It is simply shameful... and really speaks volumes of how unforgivably retarded the average TV watcher is. 400 channels and not a damn thing worth watching unless it came out of the 70s.

That's one of like 5 shows I'd normally watch.

Thanatos 2007-08-01 08:47 AM

Robot Chicken is not decreasing my attention span. It's a short-sketch comedy show that's so random, it's hilarious. You're telling me that Robot Chicken doesn't appeal to you at all? You don't find it the least bit funny? I thought you had a sense of humor.

You're right though about the programming. New TV shows bite the big one anymore. They're all the same crap I've seen thousands of times before. I don't watch anything on network TV.

I love vitamin water! It's so light and doesn't taste like syrup. The off white flavore is my favorite.

Vault Dweller 2007-08-01 11:19 AM

It's all about shows on DVD. Rescue Me and The Shield are two of my favorites. The Wire is pretty good, but kind of slow paced. Fuck network TV, reality shows, the new wave of primetime gameshows/contest bullshit.

Scrubs is hilarious.

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-01 12:04 PM

I watch House M.D. That's a funny show, mainly because Hugh Laurie's character is a complete asshole.

I've got seasons 1 and 2 on my computer I've yet to watch. I've only seen a few episodes on TV and they were awesome.

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-01 01:02 PM

I've only seen selected episodes from Season 2 and all of Season 3. If you saw the finale for Season 3, you'd be wondering what is going to happen as well.

!King_Amazon! 2007-08-01 01:35 PM

I'll probably download Season 3 sometime, as well as watch the ones I already have.

And his character is an asshole, but the great thing is he can get away with it because he's fucking awesome.

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-01 03:20 PM

Yeah, and I think Cuddy has a thing for him that never emerges.

Grav 2007-08-01 08:55 PM

I just spoke to a friend of mine today about Arrested Development and he shook his head in disgust and said it had "strange humor." Fuck.

HandOfHeaven 2007-08-01 09:30 PM

That show is messed up.

KagomJack 2007-08-01 11:42 PM

Scrubs is such a fun show to watch.

Thanatos 2007-08-02 07:48 AM

Yeah it is. Dr. Cox gets on my nerves sometimes. When he goes off on those nonsensical, long-ass rants, he gets very annoying. I couldn't work with him.

My favorite character is the Janitor.
