I love the idea of Zooey Deschanel being referred to as a "bad bitch".

Last Man Standing is actually a funny show.
Just a guilty pleasure of mine I guess.
It may be that I like Tim Allen. I don't think there's an episode of Home Improvement I haven't watched.Comment

Re: Off Topic 2013
It's one of my favorite shows on. Makes me literally laugh out loud multiple times a week. Nice to have shows that feel like traditional sitcoms instead of this single-camera, documentary, douche humor-style crap we're force-fed nowadays.Comment

Re: Off Topic 2013
I wish the traditional sitcom would die already.
Only one show I really like uses that format, and they don't really. It's How I Met Your Mother, and they don't use a studio audience, and the show would probably be better without one.
It's a crutch. The cue to laugh from the studio audience makes things that on their own aren't terribly funny seem hilarious.
Exhibit A:

And I don't mind Friends, it's funny a lot of the time, but the laugh track is an obvious crutch at times as well.Last edited by Bellsprout; 10-09-2013, 04:39 PM.Member: OS Uni Snob Association | Twitter: @MyNameIsJesseG | #WT4M | #WatchTheWorldBurn

I don't even notice the laugh track when I watch traditional sitcoms. It's literally something I don't consider in the slightest. If something's funny to me, it's funny regardless of any cues given to laugh or lack thereof. I don't sit and watch Modern Family without busting up laughing because I don't have audio telling me to laugh.Last edited by TheMatrix31; 10-09-2013, 04:20 PM.Comment

Re: Off Topic 2013
Thoughts on Roseanne (the show not the person)? I always felt like the seasons before they won the lottery were very good.

Re: Off Topic 2013
It was okay but I was always annoyed by Roseanne. And the end just got absurd.
Worse yet, Nick @ Nite aired it so ****ing much that it made me HATE it. Same with Fresh Prince. Now when I see either of those shows on TV, I literally get angry.
Those things were driven into the ground, man.Comment

Re: Off Topic 2013
I haven't seen Parks & Rec so I can't comment there, but yeah, The Office, Scrubs, etc. More recently, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Basically the shows that try too hard to satisfy the "internet"-style crowd. Hard to articulate. A great example of what I mean is Late Night with Conan O'Brien which was ****ing HILARIOUS until it became trendy to love him in the last couple years at NBC and he relied on his own cult celebrity rather than substance. He started acting out his jokes after saying them, etc. It was infuriating and now his show is unwatchable.Comment

Re: Off Topic 2013
Love some Parks and Rec.
The first season wasn't very good or funny, but it was short and had some character development.. It wasn't the first of it's kind, but I find it a lot more funny and entertaining.Comment

Re: Off Topic 2013
Is B-9-9 a single cam? I know its not shot as a traditional sitcom, but it definitely doesn't feel similar to The Office or even Scrubs style.
