"How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks...."

I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but I just couldn't stand the characters in Sex and the City. These are supposedly intelligent women, but they act like brainless bimbos. I might have watched five or six episodes one of which was about Carrie spending the night or some time during the day at her married ex-boyfriend's house when the wife shows up. The viewers are expected to feel sorry for "poor" Carrie!

You're not alone observing this. There are plenty of videos by MsMojo on YouTube about the bad behavior by Carrie, her friends, and Mr. Big on the show and the "And Just Like That" reboot.

Quote from: EdnaMode on October 26, 2023, 05:58:21 AMSeinfeld wasn't funny. It wasn't in the least bit interesting or entertaining.

Agreed  And not everybody loved Raymond.

Did anybody love Raymond?

We did.  We loved Raymond a long time.

And I'm not ashamed to say it!!!

I hated SATC.

I was introduced to the series by a friend who loved the series and went to the movie - the one where they go to Mexico - and thought huh, maybe. Didn't like Samantha, though. Big whiner.

I watched the whole original show thinking it would get better because a few friends of mine loved it. But... nope. Ironically, the only character I didn't hate was Samantha, and when the reboot happened without her I thought "forget it."

With all due respect to the late Mr Perry, Friends was another very lame show.

No soup for any of you. But actually I agree that Seinfeld was over-rated.

Also: "Beavis and Butt-Head" was the best show on MTV.

That 70s Show was perhaps the funniest thing ever to appear on tv.   Anyone who disagrees is a dumbass.

That is certainly an unpopular opinion!
I know it's a genus.

Agree on "Beavis and Butt-Head." It gave me a load of hearty laughs back in the day.

Huh-huh. Huh-huh. "Load." Huh-huh.

The first season was awesome.  Not sure I can watch it anymore after the Masterson horror.

I still do that to my husband whenever we play golf. "Huh-huh. You said 'shaft. You said balls."

Seinfeld is overrated but That 70s Show and Beavis and Butthead are great? Wow.
