TV sucks
 

It really does nowadays. I can't think of any shows I could be excited about. Except SNL and the news. Go news!

Oh yeah, THE DAILY SHOW IS DOPEASSSSS.

I wish I had MTV.

You think TV sucks but SNL is good and WANT to see MTV?

Usually when someone has an opinion they like to back it up with some examples to prove their point. Now could you explain why TV sucks? Anything really would do on why you have come to this conclusion

Now MTV hasn't focused on music for years. They should really change the name to Road Rules VS Real World TV. SNL hasn't been funny in some time.

Jackskeleton you get extra points for using the pic from Spaced. :lol:

And to the OP - you might want to edit your OP instead of just posting again and again. Makes for a neater thread.

Ok, Mtv2. I get Much Music here and all they play is poorly crafted wannabe mtv shows about people's rooms being made over in the style of an artist, or people running obstacle courses to prove they are the biggest ___ fan. SNL is funny, I mean not as funny as it was in the late 90s, but it's still funny. I love Amy Poelar.

SNL is still not funny. I may be proven wrong this season that is starting up. But based on the past season, It is still not quality tv.

Now I really want to know why you suggested that TV SUCKS. I mean there isn't one new show or new season of a show that interest you? Vegas? Veronica Mars? Scrubs? I mean there is a variety of things and I have to wonder if you are really looking for something to enjoy or if you just want to generalize on how tv sucks for no reason.

Some examples would be nice.

:hscratch: I think somebody doesn't have FX or HBO.

Re: TV sucks
 

If you dislike TV that much I'm not really sure why you would say this in the TV forum without elaborating anymore.

If you say something along the lines of "TV sucks. It really does. I do not think there are any good shows on because..." Plus, it makes for more stimulating conversation! :)
Otherwise you look like you simply being a pain in the a$$ - especially since you just registered.

Just a headsup.

Yeah dude - how old are you? SNL hasn't been funny in like FOREVER...

Reno 911
South Park
Scrubs
Alias
LOST
The Shield
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Nip/Tuck
The Simpsons
Edit: how could I forget ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!!!!

Not as great but also fun:
Grounded for Life
Bernie Mac
Entourage
Jack & Bobby
LAX
Crank Yankers
ER
MAD TV

I mean come on - TV does suck for the most part, but there is plenty out there worthy of your attention. If you don't have HBO, rent all the previous seasons of Six Feet and Sopranos. That'll keep your mind of broadcast TV for a while. :D

Go get a Tivo, then come back and apologize.

You have to work hard to find the shows they are there.

Hard to believe UPN is on the radar with Veronica Mars and UPN, go figure. And ABC is making a mini comeback with WifeSwap, Lost and Desp Wives.

The shows are there Tivo, will help.

Well, if TV sucks, then I guess we won't be seeing you around here anymore? Bye. :wave:

[homer]I know you're a little upset right now so I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.[/homer]

Time for me to go to the Movie Talk forum and post my "Movies Suck" thread.

Please - don't be retarded.

Isn't that the Kerry campaign song? :hscratch:

OK :up: Good idea! You take care of that and I'll go into Video Game Forum and...wait, that's too easy. Ok, I guess I'll go right for the jugular and go into DVD Forum and post a new thread that "DVD's are stupid".

Who's taking Sports?

I like Amy Poehler, but I liked her much better on UCB. Haven't watched SNL in literally years.
I liked MadTV, although I don't like some of the recurring characters [I *HATE* Stuart. And really, I don't think I like any of Michael McDonald's characters, they're all pretty much the same].
Reno 911 is crude and hilarious.
Dead Like Me on Showtime.
Simpsons still ekes out a laugh occasionally.
And I've been enjoying Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
eMpTyVee is a total joke. I watch VH1 Classic when I want to see actual videos.
And I also despise the 'reality' genre--it just seems that those show make up a great proportion of the broadcast hours.
TV doesn't necessarily suck, but old Sturgeons' Law is definitely in place, and when 100+ channels exist, there's room for a whole lot more crap.

24
West Wing
Scrubs
NYPD Blue
Alias

Yeah, you're right - there's nothing worth watching anymore.

Consider alternative channels

Alton Brown
World Poker Tour
Monster House
American Chopper
Mail Call
Iron Chef
Modern Marvels
Command Decisions
Overhaulin
Decisive Battles
Chappelle's Show
The Daily Show

Don't watch then.

I don't watch much either, but I've never been a big TV watcher outside of sports.

I currently watch at least semi-regularly:

Scrubs
Law and Order: SVU
Lost
Law and Order
ER

I doubt ANYBODY (even das Monkey) is qualified to make a blanket statement like "TV Sucks." There are so many programs on so many stations out there that it would be impossible to watch them all.

If you would've said "TV ain't what it used to be" I would've agreed with you. No Joss Whedon. WAY too many "reality" shows. WAY too many L&O/CSI clones (Medical Investigation? Dr. Vegas? Ugh.) Nobody (on the major networks at least) is even trying to give us original concepts to watch any more.

Lost is the ONLY new show that has garnered any interest from me. There's some well established shows on the networks that I still like to watch- but way too many of those are on their last legs.

I won't go as far as to say "TV sucks" but I'm definitely waiting for the next turn around in quality.
