i saw series 2 is starting on network 2 soon.
i hate this show - it is not in anyway funny and I LIKE nerdy jokes!!

Is there a worse comedy? (other than The War at Home which is strangely addictive...)

 

[muffin]

My family is worse..and everybody loves raymond..

 

[rampz]

this show is worth watching specifically for that chick, kaley cuoco. shes smokin!!!

[rampz]

omg drool.

 

[David Kronenbourg]

terrible guff this. it's like a nikelodian production. or a shite early 90s sitcom. terrible production values, irritating characters and astonishingly bad scripts.

 

[I Bleed Black]

It's series one that's starting on rte and I like it mainly because of the blonde chick

 

[Yurn!]

it's not great but i don't really mind this show, and i'm quite the sci-fi nerdlinger.

this guy is strangely watchable.

Television is SHIT

Television is SHIT

i have to disagree here. there's loads of amazing US shows around which piss all over the vast majority of films released over the last fews years. the sopranos, curb your enthusiasm, the wire, arrested development, entourage, dexter, deadwood... i could go on. most home grown and UK tv is pretty poor with the odd exception, ie peep show, but the yanks are miles ahead of us in the television stakes. HBO rocks.

Yeah, I have nearly all of those on DVD.
Watching broadcast television though, is SHIT.

true dat.

no it's not.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

no it's not.

There's rarely anything decent on, it's generally wall-to-wall shit. It's loaded with ads.
Anything you can think of doing instead - cinema, book, DVD, pub, gig, conversation, ride/wank - is usually far more enjoyable and/or fulfilling.

This is just one guy talking obviously. I more or less stopped watching telly years ago as it became apparent what a waste of time the fucking thing is.
Anything decent I'll get on DVD or Youtube, the rest is like having a tapeworm in your brain.

Each to his own though.

That makes no sense whatsoever, you are aware that those DVD's were broadcast on television right?

By your rational watching Seinfeld on Channel 6 tonight will be shit and pointless but shelling out 30 euro for the Season 6 boxset will make it great

So there's no difference between listening to commercial radio and listening to a CD?
Broadcast TV is jammed with commercials, shows like Seinfeld are shortened from their original length to fit even more in and you have to endure modern annoyances like credit squeeze.
You also don't have a choice what you watch next, it's decided by whomever the programming 'gods' at Channel 6 are or at wherever you flick to.
Fancy another Seinfeld? Yeah? Well, tough titty, cos Dawson's Creek is up next. But first, some advertisers want to sell you some aspirational products cos your life is crap.
Even at that bollocks state of affairs, a lot of people don't seem to tune in for a particular programme, they just have the telly on for hours and flick around watching stuff they have almost no interest in (as a huge proportion of what's on TV is, dare I say it, SHIT) until they find something they actually might want to watch, or the time for the programme they do like arrives.

Like I said, just one guy talking here, but in general I feel that watching (broadcast) television for an evening is like admitting you have fuck all better to do. No thanks.
My Mad Men box set arrived yesterday, every episode of South Park is available online for free for me to watch at my leisure and someone always texts me if there's something on I shouldn't be missing.
That'll do for me.

'My Family' is great.

'My Family' is great.

Haha.
I've no idea what that is, but it looks stellar.
Is it on DVD yet?

 

[Yurn!]

It's quality 5.30 Sunday evening BBC1 stuff. There's DVD's but they're all 'Extreme' editions, and very expensive.
