Shows you get criticized for not liking... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocoholic · 03-19-2004, 02:19 PM

And unlike Sitcom Analyzer's thread, you can name more than two sitcoms.

Heck, you can even name shows that aren't sitcoms.

I get criticized quite a bit for not liking Friends and Seinfeld. I just don't find either show funny.

I also couldn't stand that ABC drama, Once & Again. I had a co-worker who would go on and on about that show and would insult any of us who said we didn't like it. I don't care for dramas too much in general. When I sit down to relax and watch TV, I want to watch something funny and uplifting.

crapfest is a great word.

I don't like ER or West Wing.
Actually can't stand West Wing.

As far as sitcoms go, there is no show that is so great it is beyond scrutiny or dislike.

Seinfeld and The Sopranos

Ant-Lox · 03-19-2004, 06:35 PM

Friends
Scrubs
ER
Westwing

dawsongirl · 03-20-2004, 12:27 AM

All the crappy NBC comedies. And reality TV.

Belair · 02-19-2005, 10:17 PM

Friends
South Park
Gilmore Girls
Alias
THE GODDAMN OC!

Not my cup of tea at all,but my friends love them,so they expect me to like them too.

I get alot of crap from family members because I don't watch any of the reality shows, particularly "Survivor" and "Apprentice."

Sorry, I just can't do it.

David · 02-20-2005, 11:41 AM

One Tree Hill definitely

ClassicComedyFan2 · 02-20-2005, 11:43 AM

First off, I do not enjoy any reality programming.

I also do not enjoy any current dramas aside from the brilliant "Star Trek: Enterprise." So, yes, I do get critized for not like The Sopranos, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Alias, CSI, Law & Order, and others.

I also do not like Friends. Or Will & Grace. Or Sex & The City. Or any other current sitcoms.

To a lesser degree, I only like one show on Nickelodeon (Spongebob), and that means I don't like Fairly Odd Parents or Drake & Josh. I also do not like Ed, Edd, and Eddy. And, I don't like Family Guy either.

I also do not enjoy American Football, and could really care less about American basketball. I prefer the Olympic sports, like Tennis, Badminton, Bobsledding, Curling, Beach Volleyball, and others.

Boston Legal is Ally McBeal-lite

I got criticized on these boards for not liking Desperate Housewives. I think it is soapy crap. IMO I also can't get into Arrested Development.

We prefer "trash," thank you very much.

Seinfeld

Some people find it hard to believe that some of us think it's the worst sitcom to ever have hit the airwaves
