The post about Frasier got me thinking. I actually liked Frasier a lot. HOWever ....

The Big Bang Theory - I just don't get it.

And a blast from the past:

Full House -

Friends - I hate that show with the intensity of a thousand burning suns.

Full House was meant for preteen girls, and since I was one at the time, I loved it then, can't stand it now.

I never appreciated Everybody Loves Raymond.

Good call. I didn't hate it, but thought it was grossly overrated. Same with That 70's Show. There really are few comedies that I think lived up to their hype. It'd probably be easier to list those.

Cheers
Cosby - 80's, not the abomination after
Newhart
Frazier
Family Ties

were some of the best in the last 30 yrs, imho.

Prepare for the hard-legging now that you've outed yourself.

30 rock. Just terrible and unfunny.

Simpsons (understand the body of work it's accomplished, but never thought it was that great)


2.5 Men. It's terrible


I put HIMYM and Big Bang theory in the same category. I chuckle at them and enjoy them, but they're not groundbreaking.

Anything on CBS, anything with Tim Allen, anything with a laugh track not named Seinfeld.

There in lies the problem. If you can't laugh at nerds interacting with smokin' hot Kaley Cuoco then there's no hope for you brother.

Judging from that comment, though, it does appear you enjoyed 'Cheers'.

I never understood the love for the Simpsons.

30 Rock was/is genius, IMO. I think it was one of the most underrated shows, actually.

The abomination that came after, though, was so horrible as to cancel out the first season or two thus eliminating the show completely off of my 'like' list.

A lot of shows are only good to a certain age group, and that can be kind of narrow.

WKRP Cincinnati was apparently hilarious to a certain generation. MASH never did anything for me I'm too young. I expect younger people to not really care for Seinfeld.

I enjoyed Friends the first couple of seasons, but not the rest.

Agreed. That show also proved that a child actor could survive and even thrive in the business later in life.

That 70s Show was funny out of the gate but got to be less so over the years.

The best thing about that show was the casting. They really nailed the casting. Red, Donna, Kitty, Hyde, Kelso, Jackie....just great, great choices for all of those archetypes.
