Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 05 November 2013, 00:08:50: Well they stop making it... but the only 2 show I liked that NO ONE ELSE around me liked.. was "Duck Dynasty" and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"..

Both shows take place in the "cultural-south" and really takes me away from the "technology...".. and are very relaxing.

+1 I should clarify I also do not actually watch cable/satellite broadcast (we don't have service in our area that I am willing to pay for), but netflix and amazon streaming!

I totally forgot about Comic Book Men, didn't realise it had started back up for S3!

Post by: absyrd on Tue, 05 November 2013, 08:33:04: Definitely Comic Book Men.

Also, for some odd reason, I love Boardwalk Empire but none of my friends can get into it.

Post by: vivalarevolución on Tue, 05 November 2013, 09:56:29: Only things I watch on a regular basis are Jeopardy and How I Met Your Mother. I have trouble finding a viewing partner for How I Met Your mother. Not really sure why I watch that show, but I just got caught up in the syndicated episodes on right after work and it's on right after Jeopardy on Mondays. So why not?

Post by: Krogenar on Tue, 05 November 2013, 10:22:37: MST3k (I conveniently fall asleep, and my wife ends up watching them to completion, which she hates) and ... (drumroll) MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. -- it's an undeniably bad show, but I don't care. The one show that my wife likes to watch (that I cannot help but mock) is GREY'S ANATOMY. The show has a rocklike stupidity about it. It's the Banana Republic of soap operas; still crap, but high-end crap.

Another MST3K fan here. Nothing better than some sarcastic smarta$$es sitting around and making asides about a bad movie. That's what I do with my buddies, anyways.

Mrs. Krog believes the geeky characters on the show are of low quality compared to NCIS and other "cop drama" type shows.

What, and NCIS isn't terrible? I've seen some Agents of Shield since my gf watches it, and it's not that bad really. It's not great, not my kind of show either, but at any rate it beats NCIS and CSI: Orange Colour Filter, as well as 99% of the live-action comedy crap.

I don't watch a whole lot of TV shows, the few I do watch are shows my friends either like or don't have an opinion of.
There aren't a whole lot of online shows I regularly watch either.
Unless Columbo counts, Peter Falk is dead and the show isn't on TV much, but I have all the episodes on DVD that I watch often, and there aren't a whole lot of people who understand why.

Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 05 November 2013, 18:16:56: Agents of shields is one of those shows that EVEN if it was COMPLETELY Original, and No one has ever made anything like it before... It would still be deemed a crummy show....

The acting is terrible... the plot is inconsequential and poorly scripted...

This show is best delineated by a grey blob...

Post by: IPT on Wed, 06 November 2013, 00:12:50: i watch NCIS, none of my friends watch it though
i also watched the original Law & Order Series b4 it ended.

I see. Well, I'm sorry to have wasted your time.

(turns to leave)
(turns back, almost as an afterthought)

You know what? I'm sorry, I just had one more question. It's probably nothing, and a smart guy like you would know the answer to this: "Why is David Caruso so annoying? Is it how he delivers his lines in a halting way? Is it that he's a ginger?"

(later, yun is arrested, after he confesses to murdering David Caruso with a weed whacker)

P.S.: Columbo does not count as a crappy show no one likes.

I never said Columbo was crappy, I just said that most of my friends don't really like it and fail to see the greatness of it.

Also, Caruso's character is the only good thing about the show. The character is still pretty bad(just take a look at one of the episodes where he tries to have a girlfriend), but the whole sunglasses thing he's got going and the over the top one-liners are silly enough to make it somewhat bearable.
Although I can't really fault the show for being bad since it's obviously the intention; they have 3 CSI shows where they seem to try and catch a different viewerbase with each show, CSI: Orange Colour Filter seems to be intended for the crowd of people who would genuinely enjoy Eastenders, so me not liking it is fairly irrelevant since I'm not even close to their target market.

Edit:
Spoiler; I'm not actually smart, just judgemental and grumpy.

Turtle man is awesome!

Isn't he though? I still get the nagging feeling that the producers of the show are mocking him -- that that's the point of the show. Also, Turtle claims that his methods of capturing the critters are more "humane"? I figure one of those metal hoops on the end of a rod is a lot easier on the critter than CHASING IT AROUND A SMALL ROOM UNTIL ITS HEART EXPLODES. Thanks to turtle man, I don't ever want to meet a possum.
