Re: T V Shows you have never seen

good points u make mate.

another ive seen little of of but did not like was malcolm in the middle.

its mainly u.s. shows i cant get into.

i have seen many u.s. shows way back which i did not like although thats not why i dont like these ones i just dont enjoy the way amerians do there shows.


Never saw a full episode of gavin and stacey.

lke the simpsons.

At least you did try to watch some Darren, but if it's not for you then fair enough.

My Dad hated anything American but I got him into Frasier and The Simpsons and now he's also watching stuff like 30 Rock and Modern Family.

If you don't fancy something though it's tough to change your mind set. I'm not a big fan of recent British comedies or dramas (although I've been watching Mr Selfridge) - I do give them a chance but find I prefer older stuff like The Sweeney, The Professionals, Rising Damp etc..

There's usually something for everyone though

Re: T V Shows you have never seen

I've liked very few British sitcoms in recent years if I'm honest.

no wonder, British sitcoms died with the turn of the century lol, the only one i've found remotely funny in the last 13 years was 'The IT Crowd'

i'm like that with all American sitcoms, but there animated sitcoms are funny like, and there is alot of stuff in Family Guy that is just downright daft and not funny but there is alot that can make you cry with laughter, you probably just seen a dud clip.

Re: T V Shows you have never seen

I think a lot of people have preconceived ideas about American shows, they've maybe seen one or two in the past and tend to think they won't like them.

I've loved Cheers, Frasier, Taxi and The Simpsons and Modern Family is good too - and I loved stuff like Family Ties, Kate and Alie and The Cosby Show as a kid.

I've liked very few British sitcoms in recent years if I'm honest.

Back on track I've never seen Midsomer Murders or a full episode of Emmerdale.

Re: T V Shows you have never seen

I'm quite into Family Guy, though the episodes can vary in quality, the better ones seem to stand up well to repeated viewing.

The better episodes of American Dad are good as well.

I also used to really like The Simpsons, but I found the quality of writing in recent years really fell away & I had seen the earlier ones too often.

I'm OK with Friends, some episodes are better than others but it's always easy to watch. By contrast Everybody Loves Raymond & Will & Grace could vary a lot, some episodes laugh out loud & others barley watchable. Frasier is normally watchable, with the better ones being very funny.

In fact I've never had a problem with finding American comedies funny if the writing is decent enough.

Bringing things back on subject, I've never seen a full episode of Emmerdale, Shameless, 24, Lost, Home & Away, CSI, NCIS, The Think Of It, & many many more...

This isn't always because I've not liked the sound of them, often I've missed seeing something because it was one when something else was.

Re: T V Shows you have never seen

others are family guy, 24,american dad,true blood,being human,ER.

[branny]

Re: T V Shows you have never seen

Frost, Midsomer, Lost, Downton, Simpsons, American Dad, Family guy, 24, True blood, Being human. I don't have a recording device of any kind and my schedule is such that I can't always remember to be in the same spot to watch an episode repeatedly for x amount of weeks. If theres something I fancy I tend to buy the box set and watch in bulk.

Re: T V Shows you have never seen

Na never watched touch of frost either mate.

simpsons must be going near 25 yrs roz.

never seen a full episode of only fools and horses.
just cant see its funny side.

The Simpsons in its heyday was fantastic- Homer in particular, but it's gone on way too long. I watched an episode on Sky1 last week and it was awful.

Frasier was also a wonderful show, during its first 5 series especially - but I agree, Friends was very overrated.


Must admit I never watch BBC1 and haven't done so for a few years now, with the exception of Wimbledon (didn't realise they show news bulletins between some of the shows) so haven't seen anything new on there for years, unless visiting people who have it on.

Have also never watched A Touch Of Frost!

Re: T V Shows you have never seen
