Name 2 Sitcoms that you get criticized for liking - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 03-15-2004, 05:24 PM

Three's Company
Laverne and Shirley

None of my family members or friends like either of these shows.

The Monkees - Most people my age (22) think the Monkees are dorks. But I find them funny, and I like their music.

Saved by the Bell: The New Class - It's not something I go around admitting to liking, but my sister knows I like it and she can't stand it. Naturally, she has to make fun of me.

8 Simple Rules - Well, sort of. My sister makes fun of the show (even last season), so I never told her I watch, and like it.

Now my younger sister makes fun of me for watching just about every show I watch. She just doesn't get any of them. She's into reality shows, and knows that I hate reality shows with a passion.

basically about anything.

My oldest brother thinks Im a dork because I buy TV shows on DVD.... my younger brother couldnt care less.... and my other older brother cant say anything because he has "The Simpsons" on DVD.

But about any specific show.... not really.
Sure, maybe I like "Cheers" a little too much.
But its no worse than someone liking a sports team a lot.

although Im not ashamed at all for anything I watch.
I like it.... and if it bugs you.... who cares? not me.

wow.... if you get criticized for liking shows as great as those.... then the people criticizing you must know NOTHING about TV.

ClassicComedyFan2 · 03-15-2004, 09:34 PM

Frasier - has been said its for nerds

Basically any Nuclear Family sitcoms from the 50s - for being in B&W or being unrealistic

But, I've never given in to any kind of peer pressure thankfully, whether it was to get drunk or to watch what was "popular." (Try being an outspoken opponent of Friends and reality TV at a high school--quite interesting!)

On a side note, I've been critized much worse for liking Star Trek, Pokemon, and Power Rangers and being almost 19.

dawsongirl · 03-15-2004, 10:39 PM

Everything I watch.

But two...Full House and Hogan's Heroes.

That's me...liking the Powerpuff Girls at 24.

Tough. It's awesome and I don't care if it is a cartoon.

One's 24 and the other's 15. I'm right in between.

And I just thought of another show, Chico and the Man. Both of my sisters (mainly my younger sister) criticize me for watching (and having every episode on tape) it.

Adamantium · 03-15-2004, 11:56 PM

I totally overlooked the "Name 2 Sitcoms". I'm glad no one busted me on that one.

I hear ya on both subjects.
Lots of people in my school are ignorant and think that "Frasier" is for nerds.... but when I ask they why they think "Friends" is any better all they come back with "its more popular".

Although I do like some reality TV (Survivor and The Amazing Race).... I hate that GOOD sitcoms dont air when CRAPPY reality shows do.
I think Reality TV is a great addition.... but its all been done before.
And it only gets WORSE and WORSE.

And I hate the word "popular".... especially when people SAY they're popular.

Cheers. A lot of people think it's extremely weird that a 13 year old girl is obsessive over an old tv show from the 80s. Especially my sister.. she tells me everyday not to tell anyone how much I'm into Cheers or I'll become more of a social reject.

I don't care if people think I'm weird, anyways.
