Alright, now you folks may continue mocking James and Karlie. GO

That's so last week.

I like to imagine a sitcom where Crimm is constantly being stubborn and sarcastic and annoying, and Karlie's there giving him mean looks and making fun of him. It wouldn't be a very good sitcom, so it would have to be on CBS.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #3 on:** October 31, 2012, 03:06:07 PM »

I think you mean Showtime, because the best sitcom on TV is on CBS (both in terms of critical reception and viewer reception).

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #4 on:** October 31, 2012, 03:08:46 PM »

Best critical reception my ass. Viewers I'll give you, because there are a lot of dumb people in this country who appreciate shows with bad jokes and laugh tracks, but I defy you to find a significant number critics who'd call anything on CBS the best sitcom on TV.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #5 on:** October 31, 2012, 03:17:44 PM »

Better than crap like Community. I know you don't like BBT for some reason, even though it is a great show and does get good reviews (for example, the most recent episode seems to be getting a 8/10 average from reviewers). And I don't see the appeal of Modern Family.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #6 on:** October 31, 2012, 03:22:00 PM »

I don't like The Big Bang Theory because it's awful. Lowest common denominator, predictable jokes, paper thin characters and a laugh track. And the fact that you don't like Community invalidates every opinion you've ever had.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #7 on:** October 31, 2012, 03:30:18 PM »

You can say you don't like it, but that doesn't mean it is awful. If you don't watch the show, then you don't realize that you are wrong on the jokes and the characters. Community is boring, I did not find myself enjoying it. Maybe it gets better eventually, but if a show is not making me entertained within 5 episodes then it will lose my viewership. We all have our own taste in shows though.

At least I hope we can agree that shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo are terrible.

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #8 on:** October 31, 2012, 03:33:56 PM »

I love Community
The first five episode had me securely hooked. Clever, funny and with just a smidge of good ol' pathos.
Thank you, Netflix.

You can't insist that it's the best show on TV and then get upset when I call it awful. If you're going to state your opinion as fact, like you always do, you can't get mad when people do it back to you.

I didn't get upset, I just said that not liking it doesn't mean the show is awful.

And you liking it doesn't make it the best show on TV, but you said that anyway.

EDIT: Seriously, you've called things bad because you don't like them on these forums dozens of times, so you're really in no position to be arguing this point.

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #13 on:** October 31, 2012, 04:04:17 PM »

I am not a big fan of the Big Bang Theory because I think it has squndered a good premise. It purports to be a show about nerd protagonists with plenty of geek-pop culture references. But it is not clever or awesome in the use of its premise. It feels like a show written by normies about geeks, not a show by geeks for geeks.
So much potential wasted.
I also react negatively to the fact that the normies in real life think its hilarious and think they're "in" with geek culture beacuse apparently that's popular now. . They just don't get it. And I know damn well, they ain't walkin' the talk.

Insanolord, something that you and the others on this forum need to realize, is that in an argument, you're supposed to talk as if your opinion is fact. Otherwise, we're going to have to say "in my opinion" or some **** all the time. TJ knows and understand that his opinion is not fact. No one thinks that highly of themselves. Sto) p picking apart everything he says (or anyone for that matter) simply because you have a difference in opinion. By the way, you were doing the same thing he did.

In any case, comedy for the sake of comedy is (imo hurr hurr) fucking stupid.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #15 on:** October 31, 2012, 04:07:55 PM »

That's my entire point. He argued that I shouldn't be stating my opinion as fact, despite the fact that he does it all the time. The argument wasn't about that principle as much as it was about his complete and total hypocrisy.

I do not agree with this though I have observed this is the predominant style of American arguments.

The reason why you do this is because it is pointless to reiterate that your argument is, in fact, an opinion. We all know it's an opinion, why don't you agree with this?

Oh, I missed that. Carry on.

I don't agree with your statement that this is how you are "supposed" to argue or debate. That is not the way I learned. If something is factual, you can state it as such and hopefully you have something to back up your claim. If something is opinion, you state it as such.
Clarity is key.

Also, as I stated, I think you are espousing a style of arguing. I agree it is a style that is used and I have seen it be effective. i just don't use it or like it myself.

LOL TJ Spyke likes Big Bang Theory

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #20 on:** October 31, 2012, 06:59:25 PM »

Since it's a funny show, I see nothing wrong with that. I don't make fun of other people liking shows that I think are terrible.

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #21 on:** October 31, 2012, 07:47:54 PM »

It's terminally unfunny. It's like nerd blackface. It's so unfunny that 1up paid me to make fun of it. It's so unfunny that TJ Spyke likes it.

Good job having terrible taste

I like New Girl because Zooey Deschanel's legs send shivers up my spine.

And it's fantastically hilarious. (Hint: this is my opinion)

I just don't see why people turn to Puddle for Zooey Deschanel's.
