    Yeah, I figured I would be. Not many people share my views....I know like two people who agree with me, lol.


    I've seen, in total, about 6 episodes over the span of the last 3 years(3 new ones, 3 old ones, actually) and I have not laughed during a single one.

      I think SEINFELD is a product of its time. The show will doesn't have tha timeless quality to me. That doesn't mean it's a bad show just that it's the show of the '90s.

        I never liked Seinfeld, I found all the characters to be annoying pansies.

          Going a little old school here but I think the Spiderman cartoon series was the best super hero cartoon of all time. I always thought TMNT was, then followed by Batman and Spiderman. But I was wrong.

          Over the last couple months me and a couple buddies watched all five seasons of Spiderman from episode one to the last one. Wow this show was great. I mean it had everything, the story line was great, so many different villians, action, drama, just everything. The story line was different from the comics but still great. Ending was a little bit of a dissapointment but regardless. Jokes were great and you could always enjoy Kingpin's lines.

          TMNT was great. As a kid I enjoyed and loved it and I tried watching them again now but just not as good. The jokes are good but fighting Shredder every episode gets kind of old now. And there were a lot of drawing mess ups in that show that I noticed watching it now.

          Batman. Batman cartoon were okay IMO, but sometimes it would put you to sleep.

          So remember, with every power comes great responsibility.

            I don't think that I feel the same way about Seinfeld as you do, but for many of the reasons you stated I would say that I am amazed people view as great as they do. To me The Simpsons was easily the show of the 90's.

              I would personally go with the Superman cartoons of the mid-late 90's. Now are you talking about the Spiderman cartoon from the same era or the campy one from the 70's.

                I believe he's talking about the one from the 90s...

                I'd agree with Spiderman...but I also loved the X-Men cartoon of that same generation.

                Man, Saturday morning's back then were ****ing awesome. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, X-men...

                  Yep the 90s. Don't know if you guys remember but in the Spiderman show they had two episodes with X-Men... those were great. Right up there next to the Venom episodes.

                  Footballs great but all the cartoons now suck.

                    G.I. Joe Sigma 6 entertained the hell out of me a couple of weeks ago, but that could be for some other reasons.

                    To me the best time for cartoons was the 1980's with G.I. Joe. Transformers, Voltron, Thundercats, and some others I don't remember off of the top of my head.

                      *Reminder* This thread isn't to talk about what is underrated or good.

                      Back on topic.

                      I don't get Coldplay. Never have, never will. I don't see the earth shattering talent or great song writing. All I hear is a British guy whining and all their songs sound the same to me.

                        I agree wholeheartedly on Coldplay....

                        I find the Beatles to be a bit over-exposed. Sure, I didn't grow up during their time, and I realize the insane influence they've had on almost every musician since then, I just can't really get into their songs too much. I don't even know what it is, I just don't think they're that great.

                        I think Seinfeld is an acquired taste. I hated the show at first but I saw how many of the real-life situations and how much I can relate to some of the topics discussed and I just realized that this show is basically society on TV. It's hilarious to me because I can relate so much. The humor is cleverly crafted, subtle, and dry. I don't know, for me, it's great. You'll always see me saying "This reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld" or something along those lines, and I think people have gotten annoyed at me for it, but hey, it's true.

                        Wings is the most underrated show of all-time. Lost in the midst of Cheers, Seinfeld, and the rest of that Thursday lineup over the years, people really missed out on a GEM. Sure, the storyline was a bit jumpy, but I can honestly say this is my favorite comedy of all time.....yes, even more than Seinfeld. The sarcasm meter in Wings is off the charts, great characters, the whole bit. I can watch the show on repeat for the rest of my life.

                          They need to stop showing the Simpsons. This show has completely run it's course. There really isn't that much humor in anything anymore. At this point, I would bet anything people watch the show b/c either 1) nothing else is on or 2) it's part of their routine.

                          After about season 10, things just started to go downhill...

                            NFL 2k5 was not the "godly" game people make it out to be.

                            Seriously...it had just as many problems as Madden.

                              After about season 10, things just started to go downhill...

                              I agree on both of these points. The Simpsons is extremely lame right now. Everything. The storylines, the characters are all old and redundant and most of all - the jokes.

                              Don't get me wrong, 2K5 was a great game. I played it for a long time, but the bugs have made it unplayable. I'm playing current-gen Madden 07 and having a BLAST. However, 2K5 still has the best animations in any football game to date.

                                Michael Vick ruined Virginia Tech.

                                I started at VT in '97 when Al Clark led the team. Campus/school was much more enjoyable then. We were a top 25 program where some smaller bowl victories weren't out of the question.

                                The moment Vick set foot on campus, the whole demeanor of VT changed. All of a sudden we were a "power." We were expected to win all of the time. Nothing short of a top 5 season was expected by the new breed of Tech fan.

                                Even worse, as the school got more popular, the whole way of life at Tech changed. More students came pouring in despite the "increase" in standards. Educational programs got cut as the school decided to build onto the stadium, not once, but twice, before completely gutting and rebuilding it. The entire personality of the campus changed. I lost several good teachers to the new VT.

                                As for our football program, we are now Miami North. No discipline. No team players. Just a bunch of thugs trying to play their way into the NFL. Pathetic.

                                Anyone who went to VT from 97-02 has to either know exactly what I am talking about or be completely blinded by the "status" of their alma mater.
                                Overall satisfaction also makes the decline!!!!!!!!!!!!
