I was at a Christmas party and they had these minimalist Christmas trees on the dining room table. Basically a bunch of styrofoam cones painted red, green, silver or gold.
So naturally I asked if we were going to play Cones of Dunshire. Blank stares were all I received in response.
Cones of Dunshire.
I watched from beginning. But I bailed by end of season 3. Meh.

Wow I'm surprised. It hits its stride then.
Parks and Rec is the greatest show of all time. Actually on a rewatch now. Gotta be my at least tenth time.
That being said I cannot stand the Office. At all. On paper it has everything I should love. But I HATE it. Like...angry hate.
So I get it if some don't like it. I can remain civil with you at least.
Unless you don't like DJ Roomba. Then you can kindly DIAF and go to hell. Please and thank you.

Family ties

Mad about you
Larry Sanders
Home improvement
The office
Big Bang theory
Modern family
Parks and rec

Curb your enthusiasm
Two and a half men
2 broke girls
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Most I would come back and watch the end though.
I think comedies are prone to stay on too long. Almost always.

You're not afraid to cut ties. Kudos to you.

Y'all know it's okay to like different things, right?
For the record: I always heard to skip S1. Still haven't seen it. I think 2-4 were my favorites. My interest really lagged down the stretch, I think in S6. S7, kind of the same but it ended well.
I truly loathe Big Bang Theory. All of my coworkers love that show, with some even having the character bobble heads at their desks. I guess I just hate fun.
Season 3 really does pick up. Episode 2 has its moments but 4 gets good and 5 (Media Blitz) is an all time favorite of mine.

One thing I forgot about in when the show really took off for me: the character of Mark left right before Chris and Ben appeared.
My God, Mark was a horrible character. Just horribly written and the actor put zero personality into him. He was just so bad.
But, the actor left the show and Rob Lowe and Adam Scott took his place and the show was 100x better.

Rob Lowe has some of the best non Swanson and non Andy moments.

I like Mark more with each rewatch, but there's no denying the upgrade. They wanted Adam Scott for that role originally, which would have been interesting, as they obviously never intended for Mark and Leslie to end up together. You wonder if Amy and Adam's inherent chemistry would have changed things.
I mean they had already banged so them getting together in the end wouldn't have been that shocking.

Leslie pining for him early on was just part of her original pathetic loser incompetent type of Michael Scott character. I think that backstory was always just backstory.
no, that show is loathable for many reasons.LupinusTexensis said:PatAg said:Yea, its totally normal to not like a comedy that a lot of others do.

Big bang theory is the ultimate rouse for dumbasses. Pitch "geniuses" in slapstick hacky comedy situations with big words and all the sudden dumbasses think they're watching high brow comedy.
Genius to cultivate the masses.

The Ron Swanson character alone makes it worth the watch.
The later seasons with the guy that yelled when he talked were odd, but Swanson always made me laugh.
I found it very hard to disagree with pretty much any of Ron's views!!!!

Councilman Jamm is a very underrated side character as well, but he doesn't come in until season 5 I think...
Hearing that people don't like Parks & Rec gives me hot snakes.
There are funny moments in the show, but they are just few and far betweens and dont usually get the laugh track attached. I think the problem is it is just so fake. It's basically nerd-face, if that makes sense.Bunk Moreland said:

I enjoyed it but Pohler was a bit annoying. It's not even close to being as good as Big Bang Theory.

Haaaate that guy and that character. Coincidentally, he plays the same character in everything I've seen him in.

He's pretty good in Stranger Things.
I'd rather watch a 10 hour Ken Burns documentary on Mark than watch one scene of Billy Eichner.
The Knope-Jamm rivalry was one of my favorite bits of the show in later seasons.
