Re: Uncommon Opinions

It probably wouldn't have hurt to stop multi-tasking and pay attention to it. I don't think I could enjoy any TV show if I was watching another one at the same time.

I believe he was saying he was multi-tasking due to the boringness of the show.

I have seen all the episodes but do find it to be overrated.

Either way, the point stands. Who turns on the TV to watch another show at the same time they are watching a show on their laptop? Not really conducive to forming opinions on either, IMO.

Different strokes for different folks.

Now if we are talking sports, multiple TV viewing is acceptable.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Yeah I don't even recommend shows for my friend because she doesn't actually set aside time to watch them, instead she puts them on like background noise while typing away on her phone or laptop. What's the point of that?

But sports, hell yeah, I love having multiple screens up. I pull the couch over to the PC and have a TV on either side. It's one of the best parts of football season, but doesn't really work in summer when my options are golf or LLWS crap

I think multiple TV shows are acceptable for things like Duck Dynasty, Love It or List, or The Big Bang Theory.

Dramas and stuff I try to not multitask during. I'll be on my phone or the PC during shows I'm not that into...Just depends on how important it is to pay attention to the show. A lot of shows it's not that important to 100% pay attention.

The Big Bang Theory.

Only if you plan on throwing the TV that that show is on out the window.

A lot of shows are deceptively simple, but use other areas (eg: costume design) to create another layer. Mad Men comes to mind. I know not everybody likes things the same way, but I find shows more interesting when they have more layers to dig through and analyze.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I have the hardest time not picking up my phone and browsing Twitter while watching a show or movie. Sometimes I purposely leave my phone in the other room because I have no self control and give in anytime the urge comes over me.

Other options.

1. Dropping into 200+ feet of water.
   
2. Dousing with gasoline and lighting it on fire.
   
3. Smashing it with a sledgehammer.
   
4. Using it as a target in shooting practice with an AR-15 and 5.56x45 rounds.
   
5. Tying a chain around it, latching it to the bumper of a truck, and dragging it to work and back.

Hey.. whatever it takes to keep from watching that show.

I don't get the hate for Big Bang Theory...but that's why you're posting in Uncommon Opinions and that's all right.

For me at least, its the people who watch it, and then attempt to use it as a relevant science resource. Its also one of the most horribly formulaic television shows I've come across, the backbone of each episode, is exactly the same. So in short its about the fans and the repetitiveness.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

For me it's because it isn't funny and people keep trying to tell me it is.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Like most shows it just spins it wheels after a complete season or 2. That's why I love the BBC shows. 4-6 episode seasons. Maybe multiple seasons - maybe not.

And that's EXACTLY how I feel about 'Seinfeld'.

Yet millions loved that show....just like millions love TBBT. Different strokes.
