Worst Show Never to be Cancelled

[Warner2BruceTD]

American Idol is great, you shut your dirty lips.

I teared up when Pia was eliminaed this year. What a travesty. She has the voice of an angel.

This is just in case I was unclear in my previous post but, I'm not a Community or 30 Rock hater, just for the record, I just only watched the first season of Community (which I liked but didn't love) and the first 2 of 30 Rock (which I loved at points, but overall don't really miss it).

Parks and Recreation I hear is great but have only seen 1 episode of, and the Office is clearly in its death rattle.

Parks & Rec is the best current network comedy and The Office has been surprisingly rejuvenated this season with Steve Carell's imminent departure.

Community is hit or miss. Often times, the comedy requires you to "get" a lot of what has and is going on in film and television, as the shows tends to make "meta" jokes.

30 Rock has almost become a parody of itself at this point, which is depressing. There's no other show on TV (that I watch frequently) where I care as little for the characters as 30 Rock. But that's the way it was built.

Just looked at page 1. f16harm is trolling like a madman.

You know what shows have the highest ratings on Thursday nights? American Idol, Bones, and The Mentalist (all with 10+ million viewers). Which one of those is better than mediocre? MAYBE The Mentalist.

How am I trolling? NBC is fucking awful. They could LITERALLY cancel their entire lineup if it were financially feasible for them, but it's not. They don't have one show in any time slot that can compete on any night. It's obvious you must like some of their Thursday comedies and got butthurt. But when you can't get above a 2.0 in an 18-40 demo in comedy, particularly with younger aged casts....your shit is not found to be funny by the young population in this country you seek, because even if total viewers were low, that demo number would be 3.0, 4.0, or 5.0 if young people found the show worth a dick. For God's sake, SNL isn't even close to being as funny as it used to be.

OK, seriously, do we just want to state opinions here or are we going to get into an honest discussion on ratings/quality/appeal/history based on the general public...NOT VSN?

Parks and Rec started out bad but has gotten really funny.

30 Rock started out ok, but is TERRIBLE now. I saw the recent episode where Tracy Jordan was hiding out and Frank was an arm-wrestler, and not only did it not make sense, I didn't laugh one time during the episode.

Not a big fan of Community. Except for the zombie episode.

Two and a Half Men is fuckin brutal.

The one with Johnny Galecki is, too, brutal

Lord knows, young people (people in general?) in the United States are known for their exceptionally good taste.

They are "so awesome" that for people in the age of 18-49 (FYI, 99.9% of members here):

4to5 times as many people in that age group that watch those watch American Idol, Bones, Big Bang, CSI, Grey's over that 2hr timeslot.

Your post is on it.

Then why is the 18-49 demo group the single most important factor in the television industry? Are you saying that the television industry has their own business wrong?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Big Bang Theory is another unfunny show that people mysteriously watch.

We all know most peole are simple minded dolts who enjoy drivel. So what other point are you trying to make, f16harm?

Are you just trying to play devil's advocate, or are you really this dense?

Why are you comparing quality to ratings? There is often no correlation. People like simple entertainment sometimes.

That this forum's view on most TV is nothing close to the norm and should be viewed with as much insight as a Kornstar homeristic NFL post. I mean, look at the butthurt folks over my initial comment on the first page regarding NBC shows. If young people (identical to those here) "liked" these shows....then their demo numbers wouldn't suck moose cock.

No, but WANTING a group to watch a show and that group watching it aren't the same thing. Arrested Developments target demographic was that, yet no one watched it. It's not necessarily because what that group was watching was better. You keep holding onto ratings as if ratings means it's good television. My counter to that is that most people have poor taste, which is why some of the more critically successful shows either don't last or are supported by the network despite not so great ratings.

You really are quite adept at making some astoundingly bad/pointless arguments sometimes f16harm. What point is it that you're missing? No one is arguing that these shows get good numbers, their arguing that good numbers don't make a good show.

And would you stop with the butthurt crap? No one here is butthurt over anything, except for maybe you. You're WAY too excited about ratings numbers for a dude that has nothing to do with the television industry.

Quite frankly, I often worry when my taste in tv/movies/music delves into "the norm".

The latest episode of The Office pulled a 7.87...

Unless you work for Nielsen, I'm unsure why you use ratings as a barometer for quality content.

And butthurt? I only REALLY like Parks & Rec. Are you already this bored? It's only 11 AM where I am.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

It seems as though f16harm hates the NBC shows fare more than some of the guys here like them. He's passionate!

Maybe he's the guy watching Mike & Molly, america's #1 new "comedy".
