"The Big Bang Theory"

I tried that show, but the characters two dimensional personalities, predictable story arcs, and laugh track just became more and more grating with time.

Favorite TV series?

Recently, I've just been watching every anime that grab my interest. So, things like Mekaku city actors, noragami, and lots of other anime stuff. My favorite? Probably Code Geass. 

But, if we're talking TV only, then I've been trying to marathon through every season of Supernatural, and failing miserably. I still love it though.

'Deep' or not, I like being engaged by what I am watching. Sitcoms aren't always bad at that, yet so many of them are.

Why would someone choose to watch something that isn't good or enjoyable when they have other choices?

Don't have any ability to stream on your television, or DVDs?

"Plus I wanted to see if Penny and Leonard could make it work. :333333"
But they make a terrible couple! You can see that when the writing has trouble making them have convincingly sappy moments, plus their acting chemistry just seems unnatural. I know the show's all "Zomg Opposites Attract and they learn off each other", but it just seems so forced even beyond the concept itself.

The relationship with Priya might have had less writer-intended chemistry, but that one was still tons better than what they are trying to feed audiences with the Penny/Leonard angle. I am probably biased because I also find her slightly hotter than Penny, but Penny just... feels so forced in the name of fan-wank fantasies.

"I usually have to be eating something at the same time, or if it's on my laptop--googling something."
I get that and am generally the same way, but it extends to most overly engaging/intense stuff as well. I just have trouble sitting still and not multitasking in some way.

Oh Sheldon... I had a feeling they'd keep him the unchanged rock of the series (mostly anyway). He had some moments, but after a while even he felt processed.

I also blame the overabundance of this shirt for some of my dislike:



"Sometimes it's not about chemistry so much as that insured consistency you've been waiting for after frequent stops and resumptions."


Maybe for you. I need certain levels of acting and chemistry between people to help suspend disbelief.


"You know, if they dangle a carrot for so long, I'm only going to get hungrier."

Until the carrot goes bad anyway.

Mad Men, last half season was probably the best television I've ever seen

GoT

House of Cards bc Claire is my spirit animal

 

The one show I can listen to if there's nothing else: 30 Rock. 

Lost was my favorite show of all time before Mad Men.

Fringe is a great series also.

Anything written or produced by David E. Kelley (bar Ally Mcbeal)

True Detective

The Sopranos

Louie

Parks and Recreation

Twin Peaks

Game of Thrones

The Phil Silvers Show (Sgt. Bilko)

House of Cards

Veep

The Thick of it

The Armando Iannucci Show

Knowing Me, Knowing You

Blackadder

Family Guy and American Dad

Ummm... I could go on. I hate television with a passion but I have and do watch a lot of television shows.
