Well then, I must have absolutely no concept of humour. Awesome. Ditto. I love FOTC Proof my opinion is unpopular.

- NCIS is pretty boring. That goth chick is kind of annoying too. - Dexter is some overrated crap. - Family Guy is as funny as a bag of puppies catching on fire. But I do enjoy American Dad for some reason, maybe because they don't have any ~*~random~*~ s***. And a more aesthetically-pleasing family. - Adding to the FOTC discussion, I don't like it either. - People who think American television is superior to British programming are mindless idiots. - Joss Whedon should just quit. - People who complain about television shows, the little things that don't really matter anyway, should just turn the show off. It's not like one person whining about a tidbit is going to affect how the series turns out. - Along the same vein as the above, the Doctor Who and Torchwood fanbases should be expunged. I have never met a more annoying, perturbing, sycophantic bunch of people in my life who bitch and complain about a damn show's tiny little details. Case in point, Children of Earth was brilliant. Bit of a … rant and spoilers aheaad. {Spoiler}Everyone was up in arms because the fandom's sweetheart got killed off, and they were all having a cry over it. They all wanted the writer to resurrect Ianto and said they were boycotting Torchwood. Regardless of how well his backstory was built up in the third series and how great the episodes portrayed him to be leading up to his death. Cry me a f***ing river and go back to writing your stupid 40-page fanfiction that shows how much of a sad sap you are.

-All in the Family is probably the only 70s-80s sitcom that still holds up well. Archie Bunker is one of, if not the greatest TV characters of all time.
-Roseanne was one of the most boring shows ever produced. Every line was some kind of snide jab at something somebody else said, nothing else.
-Martin was a great show. It's probably the best black sitcom of all time, Fresh Prince included. Don't go looking for racist subtext in that statement, either.
-The Boondocks won't be truly good until they get Michael Caesar on board.
-Tom Goes to the Mayor really wasn't that bad (this does not apply to Tim and Eric) It was VERY, VERY dry, almost in a retarded way, but it was better than garbage like Superjail and Metalocalypse.

I like Family Guy, Simpsons, Modern Family, Mythbusters, old game shows, The Bob Newhart Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and M.A.S.H.
I used to somehow like to watch The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Falcon Crest.
I am not a big fan of Sienfield.
Thank you.

I believe the only people who find "Flight of the Conchords" funny are people who have never been exposed to anything funny in their entire lives. If you have ever laughed at anything in your life, there is no excuse to find them funny. Well then, I must have absolutely no concept of humour. Awesome. Yea me also. Consider myself enlightened.

And I've only seen bits and pieces of it, but they were hilarious. Well look at that. Good to know I have no grasp of what's funny and what isn't.

Good to know I have no grasp of what's funny and what isn't. Not only do I not have a sense of humor, I'm also a mindless idiot for preferring American programming. Who knew?

I'm tired of seeing almost every TV show laden with "beautiful" people.
Little Mosque on the Prairie is funnier than any show on American television (with the exception of Modern Family).

I'm tired of seeing almost every TV show laden with "beautiful" people. yeah, I'd like at least one show to have an 'average looking' cast. At most, each show will have 1-2 average men(and they'll be the typical 'fat guy with hot wife' type).

The worst thing is that the head writer is one of them.

Would it be too much to ask that people not use blanket statements (i.e. ALL BRITISH TV is superior to ALL US TV)?

I have to say I write a weekly tv column (cheap plug for the link in my sig, WOO~!) and generally the standard of new shows coming out here in the UK is TERRIBLE other than the US imports.
One for the UK as I think the US has been spared it, but I think Spooks is very poor, and it indicative of nearly every new UK drama trying to copy the slick style of the popular US dramas and failing miserably.

MI-5 is quite good, but Brit reality is even more rancid than ours. Big Brother ran 6 shows a week until they finally cancelled it. US has plenty of terrible TV shows too (Leno spam was a horrid idea) but at least UK has good mainstream sci-fi relative to US.

I have never seen what was so special about Seinfeld. Ever.
Total Drama Island/Action + 6teen + Stoked are among the best comedy series on TV. Not just animated, either.

I despise music awards shows. Truly talented artists are overlooked in favour of overrated, lip-synqing phonies who rely heavily on mindless, soulless songs that are generated and enhanced by computers and studio equipment.
Reality programming needs to end.
There are far too many dramatic and depressing shows on TV and not enough enjoyable, well-written comedies.
Mark Linn-Baker was more worthy of an Emmy than many of the actors who have been nominated.
