I will! Thanks!

it's not that you dislike it, it's because you're all "they should cancel it because I don't like it", instead of accepting the fact there are those that do, and to be the bigger person and watch something else around that time instead.

The difference with you and AD and me and Everybody Loves Raymond is that I >>accept<< the fact there are people who do like the show, and I'll just opt to watch something else at 9 pm on Monday's. So while my personal opinion is "good riddance" that the show is ending, I understand the fact that there's a lot of people who are going to miss the weekly antics of the Barone family. If you acted that way towards AD, you wouldn't have to be put up to such a defensive.

Meego sucked. It followed Family Matters for a few months after it moved to CBS during it's last season.

I don't think I have gotten personally criticized for not liking a certain show.

robyrob · 03-05-2005, 08:44 PM

Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, any reality show....

I'm afraid that if I tell someone I've never seen Friends that I'll be criticized.

Will and Grace Fanatic · 03-06-2005, 02:25 AM

All in the Family I just don't find that show funny. It's not based on the whole racism subject I just don't think it is funny. Also MASH I never saw the interest everyone else seemed to have in it.

Never seen it?? Thats different than not liking it.

(and well, not seeing Friends is tough to do -- it airs all the time)

Then we shall make a new topic.

(I know it's always on, but I skip watching it when I channel-surf)

FRIENDS I have only seen a couple of minutes of one episode in my whole life but it was more than enough to know I would never like it.

How can you NOT like FRIENDS my friends and family would cry.

just did nothing for me.

I'm #2, though I don't watch Boston Legal with any regularity.
