Popular things you don't see the fuss about...

[Dizaster]

For starters there are two television shows that I always always here people raving about, and I just honestly can't stand them... I've given both a chance over and over and I don't see the appeal...

They are "Scrubs" and "Seinfeld".... I can sit through the whole thing wanting it to do something for me and at the end all I can think of is the 30 minutes I just wasted...


I can bet at least one person is going to reply with "How can't you love Scrubs"? But even though intelligent people have recommended this show, I just don't get what's so good about it..

Oh and Family Guy... I'll probably get shot by people on here for that one.... American Dad is hilarious... absolutely hilarious... But Family Guy just totally misses the mark for me.. I watched 2 whole seasons of it and collectively the whole 2 seasons gave me less joy than a single episode of American Dad...



What things do nothing for you, and it seems you're the only one that doesn't get it...

I haven't seen Scrubs but I have seen a bit of Seinfeld and I wasn't particularly impressed. It's watchable enough, but not the kind of thing I watch for pleasure.

On the BBC entertainment channel they always show that ridiculous "Strictly come dancing" program for a good two hours every Friday evening. I sat and watched it for a good ten minutes last week whilst waiting for another programme and couldn't get my head around the thing at all. There is Bruce Forsyth looking much as he always has for the past half a century and all these muppets dancing around in shiny costumes. It was horrendous and I wondered who on earth watches this kind of rubbish. People dancing and some judge type people commenting on them? I just didn't get it and I refuse to ever watch another second whilst waiting for my own programme. Is that the best the BBC can do these days? It's no wonder Bilbo refuses to pay for his license. Shockingly bad.

They sent me a letter a couple weeks ago saying they were going to give me a home visit to check for broadcast receiving equipment.

They had better hurry, as I also had my 96th parking fine warning letter in which they told me they were coming to take my house away.

What a saga. Both cases seem to have been running for ages.

Probably costs them more to send so much mail than get back what they say you owe in the first place.

I've seen Doctor Who....I'm surprised millions more haven't revolted against the BBC!
