I personally don't watch a lot of tv, and I don't care about bad shows. If there are bad shows on tv that people consider good, hurray for them.

That isn't my point. My point is that crappy tv shows push off good tv shows. Because people are stupid, and the media takes advantage of that. How many racing movies have they made? The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Biker Boyz, Touque. Same crap, over and over. It pushes down good movies like Kill Bill, and the same stupid people go watch it. Making my joy of watching good movies harder and harder to do!

I don't live in Texas, anymore. I haven't lived in Texas for about five years, in fact.

I get AFN(armed forces network). It's very pro-military. But, I do get the Simpsons and other America shows. But, I subscribe to a satellite provider that gives me basic english speaking cable. So, yeah, pretty much. But I speak Russian, so it's ok.

Tv thread, only! Talk about your language learnins' on another thread. Make one. "What Laguages do You Speak?" This one is for tv only.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I completely agree with you, except for Arrested Development, which I think is pretty good (if not as good as some other shows). Why do you think it sucks? Also, just out of curiosity what do you think of The Drew Carey Show?

Meh, I just don't like Arrested Developement. Not my taste. And Drew Carey can suck my balls. That man isn't funny. Never was, and never will be. He's just a fat, balding, fat stupid, unfunny man.

  • 06.04.2004 2:27 PM PDT

Ok, I understand how you could not like it, but I still think it's funny :-P. And BTW I love Seinfeld, it used to be my favorite show, but now I have seen almost every episode so I don't really watch it anymore.
And you forgot That 70's Show, what column do you put that in?

have you ever seen "who's line is it anyways?"

  • 06.04.2004 2:33 PM PDT

I have, it's pretty funny, but gets old kind of fast. And Oswald is good, he should be on whose line with lewis.

Whose Line is it Anyways is only funny because of the black guy. And That '70s Show is wearing on my nerves. Ashton Kutcher sucks.

  • 06.04.2004 2:37 PM PDT

Yes he does, I don't know why he has been in three movies. Eric is a much better actor. But then again almost anybody is compared to Ashton Kutcher.
Another one you forgot: Maclom in the Middle.

The only remotely funny episode of the DCS, is where Oswald grows titties. Adn even then, it wasn't very funny.

Humor's really subjective because some of the weirder stuff touches some people's insecurities.
I can't stand Beavis and Butthead's style of humor for example because I feel deeply insulted by the fact that members of my species enjoy it.
I wonder if we'll contact other sentient races and join a larger, more varied society before we kill ourselves off and have "human pride day" or some such. I don't like the idea that we're normal. We're certainly insane by my standards...
Some of the things I think are deliciously ironic, though, have earned me very energetic shouting tirades for even thinking of them. Obviously, I'm not elaborating here in public.

Hehe, sorry. I was getting at the difference (for me, at least) between what I find funny and what I find sad. I thought it would be more descriptive of my tastes than specific examples that could have any unknown reasoning behind them.

Really? Well, if you want to explain it, make your own thread. This one is designated for tv talk.

I'm sorry, I thought it was a more general humor thread. That "TV THREAD ONLY" warning's a good idea.

Right now, normally I'd bad mouth you, but, you're Canadian, and Shishka would kill me with a Ninja. Or his car. Both bad. so I'm going to. Seriously, TV THREAD ONLY.
