It's the reverse for me. I can't stand fanbois. No show is perfect and if all it is is post after post of fans in a worship circle jerk, then I stop reading. (See Joss Whedon/Buffy/Angel/Arrested Development threads). There are some posters (you know who you are) that hardly ever post negative comments about a show and I don't understand that at all. I call them the way I see them and I don't wear rose colored glasses.

There are some shows though that I do like the in depth discussions and nitpics or being pointed to something I missed or pointing out something to someone else etc.
You mention the "fanbois" that do nothing but post positive stuff, but there are also the opposite who post nothing but negative. I do enjoy a good discussion, but the all one way or the other gets old.

Saw this tonight ... Thought it was pretty good, and I was glad I checked it out. Will be tuning in next week to see how it shapes up. I liked the premise.
(there seems to be a lot of negative people or naysayers on this board, and quite a few seem to comment without even having seen the particular show. It's not just the comments on this show, but on others, too.)

Not the worst thing I've ever seen but definitely at the bottom compared to the other shows I watch.
There's no room for mediocre in my schedule so I won't be watching again.

I thought this was much better than the commercials for it. If its regular time is going to be after How I Met Your Mother, then I'll probably go ahead and record it. I already record that show, might as well get that second half hour, too. I do agree that the supporting cast needs a bit of fleshing out, but that's common in pilots. I also liked the money counter at the end. I thought that was a very nice touch.

Just watched this last night. I thought it wasnt bad. It definitely was a little rough around the edges, but I like Kat Dennings sass. When she dressed down those hipsters, there were glimpses of how good this show could be. Best line of the night for me was when a customer asked where their waitress was, and Max replied "She's coming".

Seriously, not to be a smartass, but what shows do you regularly watch?

This was painful to watch. Horrible script. It was like some bad series from the 70's.
Even Alice was funnier.

I think we'd just like to know what shows you enjoy so we can better gauge what mediocre is in your view.

See a pattern?

I thought this was a good premiere. I do agree that Garrett Morris needs more to do and we need more than "diner stuff" but it was the first episode, I laughed out loud more than once, the money counter is interesting, and I'll definitely keep it around.
And for the record, my favorite sitcom on TV right now is Community with Parks and Rec as a close second. I also love The Big Bang Theory and absolutely hate Two and a Half Men and Mike and Molly. Point being, maybe it's not so easy to generalize audiences.

I never comment on shows I don't watch or shows I hate, but I do enjoy discussing how a show fails it's potential. It teaches me something.

There are always redeeming qualities and in general I try to be more positive than negative about things I enjoy.

I liked the show a little bit, but mainly because of Dennings milkers. The Coldplay and Arcade Fire references were annoying as people in Brooklyn do not listen to those shitty bands (maybe Arcade Fire, but certainly not Coldplay).

I missed the pilot but decided to check it out this week. Didn't really like it... the blonde's voice is annoying, the laugh track was obnoxious and the jokes just weren't that funny.

Yea the laugh track was a bit much, but I enjoyed the episode. Dennings and Behrs work good together. The line Max said to Caroline about her being a night light because she was so blonde had me
All I know is that I would love to try her delicious cupcakes.. Take that however you want.

Caustic remark. Pause for laugh. Caustic remark. Pause for laugh. Sex joke.
This episode just didn't click for me ... seemed to jump all around.

This is on the level of Big Bang Theory with me. It's a fun 30 minutes while there's nothing on tv, but by no means good.

I've watched it 2 weeks in a row, but I agree with Goat. More because of nothing else on than its enjoyability.
It's not bad, but nothing noteworthy yet. They've got until Chuck to reel me in.
