I Kicked BUTT Today! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

pilotguy · 02-20-2004, 12:58 PM

This morning I was driving my car and listening to a local call-in show on the radio. The host was talking about the finale of "Sex In The City" being on this weekend, and then he started a topic discussion about the greatest TV series finales.

He praised the finales of "M*A*S*H", "St. Elsewhere", "Cheers", "Newhart", "Mary Tyler Moore", "The Fugitive" (the original version) and others....but did NOT mention "Wings".

I pulled over, stopped my car and called the host on my cell phone. When I got through, I mentioned the finale of "Wings" to him, and he shrugged it off, saying "Aw, I never watched that show", and acted like it wasn't even worth talking about...Like it wasn't in the same "league" with the "important" series that HE was mentioning.....

Well, I really snapped at THAT bait! I proceeded (politely, but FIRMLY) to tell him that he didn't know what he was missing by not watching "Wings"....and I gave a capsule synopsis of how the "Wings" series ended.
The host sounded unimpressed (and frankly, a little bored) with my raving about the "Wings" finale....but after my call, and during the remainder of the hour-long call-in show, FIVE people called in to say things like, "Yeah, the "Wings" finale WAS good!" and "Joe, I can't BELIEVE that you NEVER watched "Wings"! That was a great show!".

My call had turned the call-in show into a mini-"Wings" tribute! The host was probably ready to KILL me, but I just listened, smiled and thought to myself, "My work here is done!".

That TV show isn't even worth the HDTV cameras it was created on.
I'm glad it's ending. If I have to hear one more word about horse-face and her sex-addicted friends, I think I'm going to puke.
I tried to watch that show once but I couldn't get through it without turning myself into an MST3K episode.
I can't understand why the show is so popular... oh yeah, it's a softcore porn soap opera 'Friends' ripoff that the gossip loving, Us/People Magazine reading "independent womyn" demographic loves! Along with the WE Network's reality shows and Lifetime womyn-in-peril made-for-tv-movies!
If that isn't flamebait, I don't know what is.
Sorry, but I just don't like what my own sex seems to regard as entertainment.

Anyway, other than my rantings, it's nice to see the board gaining some activity again. This has been a rather strange week for the online communities.
Well, this post will gain alot of traffic, because there are a lot of 'Sex and the City' fans out there.

I extremely dislike Sex & the City too.

And I have bad news for you:

They are making a movie.

I can't stand Sex and the City either

Good riddance to bad rubbish. That's another show that I can't understand why it gets so much praise and attention.

phoebe7165 · 02-20-2004, 02:19 PM

OK, here we go again. I like Sex & the City although I haven't seen anything from the last 3 seasons, but I have the 1st 3 seasons on videotape(I don't have any of those premium channels, so I've never seen it when it airs on HBO).

Anybody who doesn't like the show, that's fine by me. It's not for everybody. There are plenty of shows out there that everybody just loves, that I don't like. But I have to agree about the part about the 'over-exposure' the past week or so of SATC. There was something on Primetime Live last night, they were all on Oprah the other day, and Kristen Davis was on Conan the other night. As Phoebe would say on Friends "Stop the madness!!" I mean, it was just a show and it was only on for 6 years. I can see if it was on for 15 years. Then we can talk. Speaking of Friends, geez, could NBC get any more sappier with their promotional commercials? "Only a few more episodes left". Makes me want to puke. You all know I love the show, but in a way, I can't wait for it all to be over, just so I won't have to hear that anymore.

Anyhoo, getting totally off-topic with what Pilotguy has posted(sorry!!), great what you did. I think I would've done the same thing. You got lucky though. I've tried to call into those shows and even though I get through sometimes, they keep me on hold so long, then they start on another topic, and by then, what's the point?!! I would've loved to see the host's reaction when all the other people were calling in about Wings. Or was it just you everytime, just using a different voice?!!

Oh, I'm just "funnin'" with you!!

peter may · 02-20-2004, 02:27 PM

Sorry, but I disagree, I absoultely LOVE Sex and the City. I have all the seasons on DVD.

I will totally miss this show

Oh, I plan to get the last 3 seasons. I think the show is funny--Carrie gets the best lines. AngeFaitore wrote Sarah Jessica Parker as horseface. I always thought Sarah was gorgeous, even 20 years ago when she was a cute kid in Footloose.

What, is the show offensive to all of you, with it's language and sex talk? Gee, then I can't understand why the word SEX is in the title. Maybe it's because I'm not very conservative. There is not too much that shocks me, in the TV world or in real life. I wish I had 3 friends to talk sex talk to. There, my secret is out!!

It's not offensive to me, it's ANNOYING!
People talk too much about sex today, like it's some priority in life! I'm actually sick of sex to the point where even I don't want to have it now... and I'm a virgin!
I think I'm going to cut out my own genetalia soon because I'm so sick of hearing about sex.
I would NEVER giggle about vibrators and genital size among three females because it's beneath me. I'd probibly beat them bloody and shove their vibrators down their throats.

By the way, I'm not the first to call Sarah Jessica Helium Voiced a horse-face. It's the truth. I cannot look at her without seeing the animal-looking nose on her.
I actually think it's funny that Carrie Bradshaw's icon is a horseshoe.

Thank God that Thomas Haden Church never chose to guest star on Sex and the City. I would have dropped my fanaticism for him in a second.
I NEVER found any of the men from that show attractive, either. I found them rather fugly. At least John Corbett bailed out while he could. He was the only cast member that had acting TALENT!

Wow. I finally got a chance to use my critical attitude online.
That's cool. I am now truly one with the internet community.

"I'm starving, I've been having lots of sex!"

I love when Antonio says that

HAHAHAHAA!!! Oh man, That made me laugh sooo hard. I was sitting here in my computer room laughing harder than I have in days. lol That was great! hehe I love it when people just take things to the extreme.

But I agree with you in that I don't like "Sex In The City" at all. For sooo many reasons, But I won't get into it here, because I don't want to offend the people who like it. lol.

Ah, I think people either like it for the fake sex scenes or the "Funny-Female-Eminem-Style Liberation" (BTW, Eminem's debut came about the same time as SATC's premiere in 1998. Ain't that a ka-winky-dink? With 1998 came the birth of crap pop culture!).
The only thing that I think womyn need to liberate for is a higher paycheck. We don't seem have the right to the five or ten dollars more that men make. Then again, does it really matter when the government is taking away 10% of the cut?
I think I just contradicted myself!

I love my big vocabulary.

phoebe7165 · 02-20-2004, 06:38 PM

AngeFaitore, what's wrong with people talking about sex all the time and making it a priority in their life? IT'S SEX!! Most people actually like it. SHOCK, SHOCK! I think when YOU start having sex, then I know you'll have a totally different view on it.

Sex is overrated. It's just a way to produce sprogs (children) anyway. I'm planning on being childfree.
I don't care. SEX IS BORING! Even when I watch people do it on TV, IT'S BORING!!!
I get more pleasure out of tinkering around with computers and stuff.
It's called being a geek of sorts. I get more jollies when I see an iMac then when I see a man.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!! You even admitted you were a virgin!! I can't see how you can talk about something you know absolutely nothing about.
