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!

Guitar Hero, Lord of the rings, Star Wars, Star Trek.

I do not understand the fun in any of those things, especially guitar hero. Why not just learn to play the actual guitar?

I am really not fond on Guitar Hero neither, didn't like it when it did get released, I tried it and didn't like it neither. Another thing I really don't like but that is quite popular in some part of the U.S is Nascar... I never got the buzz of it, it's like a very cheap version of formula one on an oval racing ring.... definitely, I don't get the excitement about it.

Guitar Hero, Amanda Peet, I don't know if she's popular necessarily but I've been waiting a while to say on here that I don't get the appeal of her, not for me,

texting, I do it cause everybody does it and I get texts but I don't really like it. I miss beepers, I don't like people constantly being able to get in touch with me.

The Sopranos. It was ok. Not the equal of the Wire, not even close.

first person shooter games. They're ok, some are better than ok but overall not my thing.

The Godfather trilogy. I get the fuss about it I guess but I never think hmm I want to watch the Godfather.

Cars. I like some and if I was just loaded I would have nice ones but they're not much of a priority for me, I just want something that doesn't cause me any fucking trouble, end of. I'm not sure "cars" is a popular thing but yeah I guess they are.

I like Scrubs. They try too hard sometimes. Seinfeld was ok.
