There used to be a time, way back in the mid-90s, where I was pretty sure that nobody hated The Simpsons. Everyone loved it, I thought. Surely! It's hilarious and heart-warming all at once! Homer hits his head! It funny.
Then I overheard a conversation in which a bunch of reasonably intelligent people were talking about how stupid The Simpsons was. And my mind exploded. ...so, my question is: what show, game, movie, etc. are you pretty certain garners universal and anonymous acclaim - and have you ever had that illusion of "everyone loves this" shattered?
I'll give another example - one which I'm yet to verify - I'm pretty certain everyone loves Wallace and Gromit. No-one could not love it. It's just so awesome. And if anyone does hate it I'm going to have to very seriously rethink my priorities...
