Unpopular TV Opinions

[huntergrayson]

I think they miscalculated the appeal of turning Debbie Downer into a recurring skit. The main reason the first sketch was so funny wasn't the concept, but the fact that everyone was on the verge of cracking up, including the professionals who never do. Lohan just lost it, even Dratch herself barely made it through.

The second season of Twin Peaks is not the debacle everyone makes it out to be. It's getting on my nerves that everytime I read an interview with the creators of Lost or Veronica Mars, it's all "it's a horrible cautionary tale" while forgetting things like the fact that the network changed its time slot constantly. Or that Laura's murder wasn't solved until eight episodes into the season. Many of those early episodes are great and the finale is a work of demented genius.

Entourage is vastly over-rated. It's not a particularly edgy or insightful look at Hollywood -- an ep about how Gary Busey is nuts? ,That was the premise of a Comedy Central show two years ago. I love how the "hot" actress cameos are always C-Listers -- who the heck is Jamie Presley? Although it has improved considerably in the second season, I feel like they're recycling a lot of the same plots from last year. The sad thing is that it has a great show buried within it if they eliminated Vince and Turtle -- Ari, Shawna and Eric are great characters and should get much more screentime. Vince seems strangely charisma-free to me. Yet it remains my horrible guilty pleasure.

I hate David Caruso, I hate CSI:Miami AND CSI:New York; I only watch the "real" CSI.

Now there's a CSI concept a great many of us would like:CSI: Shirtless (and the HBO version: CSI: Pantless) --as long as it's without David Caruso.

The problem with CSI is all the hot men wear too many damn clothes. But I don't know if that's an unpopular opinion.

I've never watched Friends, or Raymond, or Yes Dear or Grey's Anatomy.

I just can't get into the CSI shows. They could be the best thing on TV and I just don't care.

Oh yeah, I remember that! And I hated that show as well. They should have just called it 'Gary Busey goes nuts for thirteen episodes with the world's oldest whiny virgin.'

I'm with Busey wasn't that awful. Well, at least the epis I watched weren't, but those were the ones where Gary Busey chased the loser guy around and like, hit him with shit.

My unpopular opinion? I think the show Next on MTV is hilarious. You go on a date where 4 people are there to choose from. You date one for a bit, and when they start to suck, they go away and you get a fresh person! My favorite was the one with the gay boys, where the ones in the bus started hooking up and the actual "contestant" didn't get any.

I hated The Golden Girls.

Rose's stupidity was beyond lame, and I didn't get what was so funny about an old slut.


Edited to ask: you can't spell s l u t ?

[Brookie]

The mods prefer that you don't use that term. That's why it's on the censored list. Thanks.

I'm With Busey cracked my shit up. I hated Friends after the novelty of the first two seasons wore off, and I think that Mad TV has jumped the shark.

I really really dislike Stargate and all its incarnations.

BSG is just okay when I remember to watch it.

My mom just berated me for not liking Sex and the City. I watched 3 episodes in all the time it was on, and I really despised the characters, the writing, the situations, etc. I hated that show with such a passion. Stupid entitled beeotches living their stupid entitled lives. I know there are so many fans would debate me until the cows come home about the cultural relevance of this show, but....... I hated it, and I'm glad it's not spawning new episodes.
