What's a TV show everyone loves that you couldn't get into?

Question

For me, I have 3. The Big Bang Theory How I Met Your Mother Seinfeld

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I'm very harsh about TV and I'm to the point where they should just stop trying now. I haven't seen anything good since 1883. The show, not the year, though with how bad things are it almost seems like it was since the year. And they never should have ___ because that show could have gone on forever if they had done it right.

I like the first few seasons of Big Bang when all the jokes and stories were sharp, then it just got into throwing them into inane situations like they always do. Penny looked like she just rolled out of bed and showed up for filming, I would never go out like that.

I like the last 5 or 6 seasons of Seinfeld, but not the beginning ones. I didn't like How I Met Your Mother at all, but there are some really funny episodes here and there. I didn't like Community, Parks & Recreation, The Office or 30 Rock, they all have that phony hipster Tina Fey kind of vibe to them.

I love almost every season of Modern Family, though even that has some clunkers towards the end. It was also interesting watching that girl Lily grow up from literally a baby to almost a woman. Now she's out in the world and doesn't know what to do with herself because her entire life was on that show, sort of like that Starr Manning who was on One Life to Live since age 7 and is still going now at age 34, always with somewhere to go in the morning. They should put Lily on a soap opera just for that reason.

"The Big Bang Theory" is an enigma.. It's like I don't know anybody who thinks is great, but yet somehow it's popular.. But same with that one..

Friends- I get the appeal, but it's kinda corny to me..

Game of Thrones- I don't know, I just don't feel like hearing constant British accents and watching sex scenes..

Rick & Morty- I just didn't find it funny and people over hyped the "intelligence" factor of the show.

South Park- I can appreciate that it makes fun of the ridiculousness of today's culture, but I never cared for the show..

Family Guy- I watched a lot of episodes when my brother would have it on the T. V and... I never got into it.. At all..

I couldn't get into any  sitcom  I believe, so big bang theory, how I met your mother, friends and things like that. Because I don't relate to this humor. Couldn't get into any  US cartoons , Simpsons, Futurama, Rick & Morty, Bojack, South Park etc etc, that's because I don't like US aesthetics in comics, though I can like that type of humor, just not the visuals. The only comedy that worked on me was  , oh and   too, and  . They both showed some social commentary and I have a thing for afterlife settings it seems. Aside from that, I have been more into drama/adventure/SF/mystery/fantasy shows than anything else

Cinematic Lily · Accepted Answer

I totally get that! For me, it was "Friends." While I appreciated its impact on pop culture and its talented cast, I never quite connected with the humor and storylines. Sometimes, despite the show's popularity, it just doesn't click, and tastes vary, which is what makes discussions about TV shows so interesting! 🎨📺

strateguy632 · Answer

Oh c'mon of course gals can't relate to those, you are too offended by that guy who said legendary, or by creepy walowitz flirter, to enjoy the rest!

Seinfeld is more like situations absurd situations so some expect a different type of humor.

Zack-Bann · Answer

I used to be like that
But I ended up giving HIMYM and BBT a real chance and they were fun
Seinfeld not so much. Far too dated for me.

The one I did watch but don’t understand why people enjoy so much is Breaking Bad

Sure it’s not the worst but even as a crime drama it’s lacking so much
I much prefer shows like Sons of Anarchy and Peaky Blinders, even the Sopranos from that genre

WhiteSteve · Answer

A lot. I need to give it another shot, but maybe the most prominent would be The Sopranos. Something about the “mob guy” persona is very off-putting to me, the “ayyyyyyy, fuhgettaboutit🤌” vibe….. absolutely fuckin’ hate it, lmao. Never seen The Godfather, either, same reason. I actually liked Goodfellas, but I’m always annoyed while I watch it. Someone like a Joe Pesci is tough for me to get through😂😂😂

Cormac995 · Answer

Breaking bad. I managed to make it to the part where there was the plane crash but I had to stop watching at that point. The show was just too dark and it was making me depressed and stressed out which in my opinion is a testament to how gritty and good the show is. Good cinema makes you feel and breaking bad made me feel kind of sick honestly.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I never really saw the appeal of Seinfeld.
I abhor nearly every iteration of “reality TV”.
“Rick & Morty” gets rave reviews but it completely escapes me.

On the other side of the spectrum, i hated neither the last season nor the last episode of “Game of Thrones”. It actually wrapped everything up quite nicely, in my opinion.

Kaneki05 · Answer

That's crazy, Seinfeld is great and Barney from How I met your mother is the best. I can see why one wouldn't like big bang though.

As for me Friends is pure trash, never seen a good moment of it, plus I can hardly tell what one of the actors is even saying due to his accent lol

WhitneySnow · Answer

I love all three of those, though I’ve only seen Seinfeld and How I Met Your Mother in reruns. The characters in Seinfeld are very selfish though.

Hellraiser1984 · Answer

Seinfeld, game of thrones, walking dead, sopranos, breaking bad. I'm just not interested in them at all. Game of thrones is only popular because of the nudity and violence. Seinfeld was boring, I don't like crime dramas, walking dead wore out it's welcome.

Tamera952 · Answer

Seinfeld, 100% — don’t get it, don’t think it was ever funny. Friends — never watched it, thought it was corny, lame, unfunny, and a waste of time.

Shiprex · Answer

All of the 3 you mentioned and there are ones from UK called Emerdale and Crossroads that just didn't do it for me while Neighbours and even Home and Away were right up my street.
