I am not a teen.

    Do what you want, I’m just pointing out why I think it’s silly.

    I also think giving up on a show that is considered one of the greatest of all time, after a single episode, is foolish. Regardless if the reason was sex or not.

    I guess I just have more interest in finding and watching classic films and shows. I also have enough free time to watch pretty much everything that I want (plus more).

      I’m going to upset you more by listing a bunch of other “greatest shows of all time” that I didn’t like and I wasted far much more time with them. Just taking a look at some ‘best shows of all time’ lists…

      Breaking Bad
      The Sopranos
      Westworld
      House of Cards
      The Wire
      Oz
      Squid Game
      BoJack Horseman
      Curb Your Enthusiasm
      Twin Peaks
      The Americans
      Succession
      Mad Men

      I don’t care if you or anyone else liked them. I didn’t. I clearly have different entertainment needs than the people who like the “greatest shows of all time.” I could go through each one and explain to you why I don’t like them or you could accept that what I consider entertaining does not often include the “greatest shows of all time.”

      I’m guessing some of the shows I consider to be the greatest of all time you haven’t even heard of, or if you had, you didn’t agree. Just looking at my hard drive and restricting it to American shows that are less well-known or less-recent:

      Mystery Science Theater 3000
      Fernwood2Night/America2Night
      Food Party
      Fishing with John
      The Adventures of Pete and Pete
      Northern Exposure
      Odyssey 5
      Wonderfalls
      The first live-action version of The Tick
      Police Squad
      It’s Garry Shandling’s Show

      I would watch any of those over the list of shows above. And, as I said, that’s only American shows. I can list so many more British ones. And then we get into animation…

        Who’s upset?

        And just FYI as soon as I saw that you were trying to do some “look at how different I am than everyone else” list, I stopped reading.

        Edit: Until I saw mst3k and had to see what the context for that was… LOLOL yeah I’ve never heard of any of those super obscure shows like The Adventures of Pete and Pete hahahaha. My guy, you know nothing about me.

        Btw we’re all super impressed though

          I’m not different from everyone else. Lots of people really love those shows that I listed. Mystery Science Theater 3000 won a Peabody Award and had one of the all-time record Kickstarters for a reboot because it was so beloved. Northern Exposure won multiple Emmys. Let me guess, I’m also “different from everyone else” because I consider the apex of TV to be Star Trek.

          I’m trying to explain to you that not everyone shares your tastes, but you seem to be unable to fathom that. You also seem to be under the hilarious impression that you’ve heard of every great TV show out there because only someone who wanted to show how different they were might love a show you didn’t.

          So fine, anyone who doesn’t consider the exact same TV shows you do to be the greatest one ever is a fool, a monster and lower than pond scum. Glad we’ve established that and can all move on with our lives.
