Nah it's worse. At work there is only one table to eat at, and some of the people there used to watch those shows. Rather unfortunate as I was forced to bear witness to these shows. Else it was eat at my desk, which is not a good place at all. So unfortunately I have been subjected to these shows, hence the names I give them.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:OK, guys, can we please stop talking like this? It's not that you don't like those shows, that's fine. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion. But when you start using that kind of dramatic, ridiculously over-blown language, you make yourself kind of hard to take seriously. They're TV SHOWS. There is no situation where they can reasonably be compared to something like cancer or AIDS. I mean, for fucks sake. You sound like some nutjob trying to organize a mob to go "kill the beast".Giftfromme said:To me these shows are aids and a cancer on TV.
Again, it's fine that you don't like them, but please, be classy about it.[footnote]I don't mean to single you out, this is just a big pet-peeve of mine that I see a lot around here.[/footnote]
Anyway....Out of those, Two and Half Men, no contest. I'll admit the show used to be kinda funny, but...For fuck's sake. It ran it's course a LONG time ago. "The Office" is probably one of my all-time favorites, which is why I want them to quit while they're ahead. But since they didn't do that, I suppose I'll take quitting while they're far behind instead. Big Bang Theory's alright (though not exactly my favorite show ever) and Modern Family is hilarious. I haven't really seen a lot of "How I Met Your Mother", so I can't judge.
But anyway, yeah...Two and Half Men. Obviously Two and a Half Men.
OK, let's get some things straight.CODE-D said:no, there can be humor(why does humor have to die), over arching plot(that gets discussed and focused on) and character development(that doesnt involve onscreen brooding an entire ep) but having character development as the main focus is pretty boring/lame-its just coming off as beating me over the head and that theres no actual plot(or at least one thats interesting).Benny Blanco said:So what you're saying is that your ideal zombie series is a 30 minute weekly show with no character development to speak of and no plot except "bunch of people kill zombies and make wisecracks"?CODE-D said:Dont care, hate the characters along with disinterest of plot.Benny Blanco said:OK, I agree about the Cleveland Show and House.CODE-D said:I tried Terra Nova, Grimm and Walkin Dead(ITS ABOUT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT/DRAMA not about zombies!! I hear people say but the zombies are the only thing interesting about its cliche story) but these hour long shows move slowly/are predictable and im findin myself bored with them and wont be watchin them any further
but im glad Chuck and Eureka Are gonna get to end well unlike Heroes.
Also House should end, it had its run. Simpsons and cleveland show should stop and new allen gregory show sucks.
The Simpsons will run and run and it frankly deserves to.
The Walking Dead isn't about zombies exactly, although it is set in a zombie apocalypse. Although the show does make some departures from the graphic novel series, (such as the CDC plotline) the overarching point is that WE are the real monsters.
If they introduce the Governor character/plotline, this will be a little more evident, but I don't want to spoil that for you. Either get the compendium edition or wait out the series.
I dont need a show to be up its own ass with a metaphors.-you see the main characters are the real walking dead blah blah blah humans are evil.
I dont care. The most interesting to happen this season is Blanek killing blankis and that was just okay....
and even if its a good episode it still doesnt need to be a hour long along with long ass commercial breaks.
Id prefer them make zombieland a short fun series or cartoon.
Why all you walking dead fans diss Zombieland I dont know. The humor was more than "wisecracks", the characters were actually likeable(besides that little girl)which is more than I can say for the wd characters which all seem cliche and there was only one kill kill kill zombies moment and that was deserved and at the end and more epic than anything walking dead can do.
It can also be like Shaun of the Dead or even 28 days later, anything but walking dead.
If your trying to tell me that I should uphold Wd because it realistic and these characters have to adjust to/deal with a shitty world, well zombieland did that, did that better and did it faster-worlds shit, face it, get over it, lets have fun and make the most.
also, Ive already had this conversation so no more.
I liked how i met your mother. I don't now. How long can you drag a show on. We get it Ted takes too long to tell a story. I just want him to meet their mother so we can all go home.jackpackage200 said:Wait people hate how i met your mother???? I understand two and a half men and big bang theory but why how i met your mother?
