Unpopular sitcom opinions - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm sure this has been done before, but what are some of your most unpopular sitcom opinions?

I actually like Dick Sargent on Bewitched.

I never, ever liked Alice Kramden. I thought she was a colossal

, Ralph's obnoxious behavior notwithstanding. I couldn't stand Audrey Meadows, either. Ironically, she was the best thing in Too Close for Comfort.

When I tell people I love “Mama’s Family”, they think I’m nuts....which is ok, cause I am.

1. I like the 2nd Darrin better!

2. I like David Nelson better than Ricky.

3. I like the 2nd Gladys Kravitz better than the first. The first one was a total nutcase! I felt sorry for poor Abner who had to put up with both of them. He was the original Al Bundy.

4. The NHL is way better than the NBA.

5. TGIF was, as a whole, the worst collection of sitcoms in TV history.

6. "Happy Days" switched from filming with one camera to three in front of a live audience and boosted Fonzie's character in Season 3 (not Season 2, like some people have stated here before) because of stiff competition from "Good Times" (a much weaker show) and its breakout, one-joke star Jimmie "JJ" Walker.

7. "A Different World" jumped the shark in a big way after the first season when both Lisa Bonet and Marisa Tomei left the series.

8. "The Big Bang Theory" got better after Howard's Mom died. She was so annoying!

9. "The Cosby Show" was better than "The Jeffersons".

10. And finally.... Dr Ho is funny. Dr Ken is not.

When you have fave sitcoms, Father Knows Best, Danny Thomas Show, Leave It To Beaver, My Three Sons, Mama's Family, and Everybody Loves Raymond, you're gonna be unpopular.

Oh, and the 2nd Darrin doesn't bother me at all.

I like second Darrin better, too.

I don't like Georgette on MTM, or Ted Baxter, either.

I don't think this is an unpopular opinion at all. That was the most beloved sitcom of all time.

mandyrenee · 06-27-2019, 04:03 PM

I don't like "Leave it to Beaver".

I hate Smartphones and refuse to own one.

I like laugh tracks. Can't stand single cams with a few exceptions.

I don't think Ted Baxter was meant to be that likable. But then again even when he did something that was meant to make him more likable to me he just wasn't. One of those characters that was better in smaller doses I think.

The sitcom Two And A Half Men was NEVER funny.

I prefer the later color seasons of THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, mostly because I find Barney Fife annoying. He's good in small doses, and I like his return visits in color, but he grates on me when he's in every show. I also find Opie Taylor a more interesting character when he's older. (I feel the same way about Wally & Beaver Cleaver.)

treky · 06-28-2019, 12:02 AM

I liked both Darrins on BEWITCHED

I don't like season 2-5 of I DREAM OF JEANIE; too "slap-sticky".

I could never see why people find I LOVE LUCY so funny; same with THE LUCY SHOW. They're ok in small doses but that's it.

I never found THE BIG BANG THEORY funny.
