NJS 4284 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'd add that I don't hate Gem for the Mindy Project as I like the lass but just don't think it's that good. I do however think he should be shot with shit for recommending that Girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1208 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I think the fact that my dad likes BBT suggests it's totally shit tbh. Although he might like it for the same reason as me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43271 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Whoa whoa whoa, look at the climbdowns and u-turns! It's tax credit cuts all over again. Have the courage of your convictions, lads. I like Mindy and Girls because I know funny. You like the Big Bang Theory and Friends, because you don't. That's ok. Life would be better if you were me, but don't be ashamed to be you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 32158 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Big bang theory is shit as is the Mindy show. (I've never seen either and have no idea what they're about and who is in them but I'm sure I'll be right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1208 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 BBT is ok. As NJS said it's on far too much (I heard the announcer on E4 say before an episode the other week that it was the hundred and something time they'd shown it which is pathetic). It's very easy watching but in no way stands up against top sitcoms (I've been re watching Seinfeld recently which is clearly the best sitcom ever to come out of America). I've never seen the Mindie Project but she's annyoying as fuck, unattractive and Gemmil suggested it so I have no reason to try and watch it.

I think when I watched Girls I asked if you were sure it was a comedy because I couldn't see how it was even played for laughs in any way. An ugly bird getting her tits out does not strike me as cutting edge feminism either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43271 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It doesn't have a laugh track like BBT. Maybe that's why you were struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13694 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Gemmill hasn't seen peak Simpsons so his undisputed taste in comedy needs to take a back seat to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1208 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Can't even spell Mindy. Unbelievable. Curb Your Enthusiasm is also much better than Seinfeld btw. She/you don't deserve the respect of me spelling her name correctly. I've never been able to get properly into Curb which is surprising given the similarities to Seinfeld. The Larry Sanders Show is another top American sitcom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 43271 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Gemmill hasn't seen peak Simpsons so his undisputed taste in comedy needs to take a back seat to mine. Did you watch that Jeselnik stand-up btw. This is the acid test. Where I judge you very poorly if you didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21591 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'll watch it sometimes. It works in a sort of Friends or Everybody Loves Raymond way. It's very very average but it's on constantly so it has familarity going for it. That and Penny who I'd love to do all kinds of depraved things to. its merits beautifully summed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 43271 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I started it and didn't think much of it at all. I was in an addled state at the time though, so it may bear a second watch when sober to be certain. As things stand though, an addled thumbs down.
