Does anyone here not think this show is funny?


I tried to watch a few times, but just don't get the humor. The cast is great, but the writing is really bad.

I think it is funny altough the laugh track is sometimes annoying.

reply

I love the show. I watch it every night after Law & Order, so I can have a good laugh.

reply

I just don't get the jokes...I guess.

reply

It used to be funny. But the show hasn't been funny in years.

reply

The only thing I don't like is the laugh track. Do comedy shows still use the tracks? So distracting.

reply

Not good ones, no.

It has some good moments but I find it more comforting than funny.

I've been watching this show a lot lately cause it airs about 6 times a day between all the syndication and has some pretty sweet time slots when nothing but news is on the other channels. I don't like it, but i've certainly grown used to it. I laugh about once every three episodes. That's how often they lob up a joke that amuses me. But I do do a sort of nod where I grunt and acknowledge that something was clever. That happens at least once an episode. It's a cute show. Is they only way I can describe it. I absolutely see the appeal for people. I like the cast, I like the characters, I even like a lot of the premises. I think a lot of what they sit around talking about is worthy of observation. But straight up, the writing itself, the dialog, just doesn't engage me. This show simply isn't made for me. But the show is definitely more rewarding once you get to know the characters and their personality quirks. There's a cumulative payoff in that regard.

When I watched it those few times, I did like the cast, but the rest of it was just not for me.

I thought it was brilliant for the first three or four seasons. Season five was okay.

After that it got less and less funny by the season. I stopped watching after a while. It went from being something different and fresh, to just being formulaic.

reply

I love this show!

reply

That is nice. What exactly do you love about it?

reply

Everything. The plots, the characters, and the fact that each episode is just 20 minutes.

reply

I guess I just don't get it...

reply

Maybe you should have titled the thread "Hey, lets all hate on the show"

reply

I don't hate it, I just don't get it. Two different things.
