Ask LU - The relationship advice thread

I just cheap humour. To be honest what bugs me is not the show, but the fact a show like Big Bang goes so well with the rating and will have a billion seasons while a show like Community is at risk of getting cancelled.

Definitely right. I'd even throw Arrested Development in there. One of the funniest shows of all time, only gets 3 seasons

 

[Cliffhanger]

Always Sunny In Philadelphia doesn't get rating in Australia either and that upsets me.

 

[Big Pete]

I don't know about you guys but I'd rather quality shows like Arrested Development finish early than go beyond their expirey date and leave a bad impression.

AD was already showing signs. The last season was still very enjoyable but wasn't as good as previous seasons and even the writers knew that. In the end, it wrapped up quite nicely.

EDIT: Always Sunny is a difficult show to market and would be a difficult show to air before 9pm.

 

[Cliffhanger]

Always Sunny is going down hill now, but it still has many moments.

 

[Big Pete]

I've only seen the first five seasons but it seemed to be getting better and better. Did it peak after five?

 

[dogslife]

Season 4 and 5 were probably my favourites. Season 6 and 7 have gone downhill, but as Cliffy said the show still has it's moments. I love Philly, it reminds me so much of Seinfeld, it's just a lot cruder

 

[Cliffhanger]

Nah, just the latest season.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Never got Arrested Development.

 

[the dude]

Arrested Development is great, if you haven't already watch it from the start.. Give it 5 episodes and I'm positive it will grow on you.. Awesome show because it never got the ratings it deserved and therefore never jumped the shark, only lasted 3 seasons.

 

[dogslife]

Nah, just the latest season.

The Chardee MacDennis episode was one of my favourites from all the seasons

 

[Big Pete]

Yep.

AD is made for marathon viewing. You can't really miss too many episodes out of order otherwise you won't get the jokes and sometimes the episodes get funnier upon repeat viewings.

Season 3 was a bit silly. But they were getting desperate.

 

[Hallatia]

She's also Darlene off Rosanne...I don't think Cliff will approve, SC!

and Leonard is David from Roseanne. Seems kind of bizarre seeing them two together again like thay

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

And Sheldon's mother plays the sister of Rosanne too...

 

[Hallatia]

I'm not sure I've ever seen Sheldon's mother but it seems like Big Bang Theory is a full on Roseanne reunion show haha.

she looks younger there than she did in her latter years in Roseanne

 

[Big Pete]

Roseanne turned out to be such a dark show too...

Big Bang is consistently funnier over a longer time than Community. Community dropped badly after season 1. Deal with it bitches

 

[Cliffhanger]

Not really, the style of humour in Big Bang lost me early. It's not an intelligent show in any many of the term. It's not the least bit creative.

Community is way more creative, the characters are much better thought out than the ones in Big Bang. Even season two of community was funnier than Big Bang when it peaked.

 

[Shorty]

Big Bang is consistently funnier over a longer time than Community. Community dropped badly after season 1. Deal with it bitches

It's because it's the same sort of joke over and over.
And when you know what Sheldon is talking about repeatedly, it loses it's appeal.

I love Arrested Development....Tobias is my favourite!
You guys ever watched 'Parks and Recreation'? I'd recommend that one too, it's got the chick from the Office in it.
