To be fair, I think he sounds upset in most podcasts he's on - even the ones where he's literally recording by himself.IRL_Troll wrote:Jesus sounded upset the whole show, and I can understand why. You guys were saying very silly things

Sons of Anarchy is a fucking terrible show. Having no interest in it doesn't make you a 10 year old, it makes you a normal human being that doesn't want to waste their time with shitty, aimless soap operas.
I've never seen Justified, but I have no interest in it. The show does nothing to grab me into its viewership - and that's an onus of the show's, not mine. And given that my free time is already taxed by the billion shows I already watch, on top of playing a billion different games I play, the sports I watch, trying to exercise on a regular basis, and my attempts to have a social life, I don't really feel bad for missing out on just one show you think is the tits. Does that make me 10 as well? I guess so.

You might feel that way, but other people have different standards of what's entertaining or 'average'.jesseewiak wrote:That may be true, but it's still not crap like Barnholdt and Brock were saying. It's still an average to above average show most weeks.kenzo wrote:That's not saying much.
I assumed by "major network" he meant broadcast TV, but if smaller cable networks count, then we can start adding all kinds of shows that are better like Futurama, or Young Justice, or Venture Brothers, or Avatar, etc.flufflogic wrote:I would argue that South Park is still just as good, if not better, than those first seasons.
Dismissing a show based on its premise isn't a crime. You probably dismiss shows based on premise all the time and just don't realize it. Unless you're gonna tell me you give every show on every channel a shot like Days of our Lives, or Pregnant in Heels, or The X Factor, or Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, then you're just as guilty as he is. The difference is, you're just pissy that he hates your favorite shows. And instead of formulating a well-reasoned explanation as to why he should give your shows a shot, you're shooting insults across the internet at people you don't know. And all that probably ends up doing is reinforces his beliefs. If I were Higgins, my response would be, "Look at the kinds of mouth-breathers that enjoy this show, why would I want anything to do with that again?"jesseewiak wrote:There's a difference between just dismissing a show based on it's premise like Higgins did than not liking it for a variety of reasons.

When those shows win Emmy's and our given wide acclaim by critics all over, then yeah, I'd give them a chance. Your argument that you don't have enough time is fine. I think you should give it a shot, but OK. Higgin's argument boils down to, "the theme sucks and I don't like cowboys. So, obviously it's no good." That's childish.

now that's just not true.
There are a billion shows, movies, videogames, books, music albums, live performances, art exhibits, board games, and other stuff that are given wide acclaim by critics all over, and I try to give them a chance, but I don't have time for everything. It isn't childish to pick and choose what I'm going to use my spare time and money on - that's a very adult perspective and approach to life. And I know I speak for Higgins as well on this. We don't all have infinite time and money to throw away at something as frivolous as entertainment. So who is the bigger child - a guy who lives his life like an adult, or the guy who insults random people over the internet because they don't like what you like?jesseewiak wrote:When those shows win Emmy's and our given wide acclaim by critics all over, then yeah, I'd give them a chance.

But I have stacks and stacks of stuff that the base concept interests me. I'm not just going to watch something because "it's good".

Also, LOL @ you putting stock into the Emmys and taking their awards seriously.
Master Higgins wrote:I think the theme song of a show can be an instrumental part of the show, often showing the overall "themes" of the show. By choosing a combination of rap and country, this show is going for a certain feeling, one I have no interest in. For example, one of of the reason I didn't watch Enterprise was because of the theme song, despite being a major Star Trek fan.
