JoeinAR 1,953 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yup, the one with the massive rack. 2 Broke Girls is not a great show, but its consistently funny. It's not 'smart' funny (though it has its moments), its 'easy-to-laugh-at-multi-camera-sitcom' funny. The only multicam show I watch, I think. Anyways, yes, her character in Thor was pointless, and they downplayed her looks by having her in glasses and frumpy sweaters the whole time. Hopefully her character has more to do in the sequel.Here are some good pics of her:https://www.google.c...0.0.lPvzqxKPDJUyou're missing out on Big Bang Theory then, and How I Met Your Mother. I have little use for the one camera format so called comedies.Quint, Two Broke Girls is really a much better comedy now at the end of the 1st season than at the beginning. It's really improved over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 40,702 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I tried watching The Big Bang Theory, but couldn't get into it and gave up around 13 episodes or so. I have been watching HIMYM from the beginning, I forgot about that one.Single-camera comedies are the best. My favorites are Arrested Development, Scrubs, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Coupling, The IT Crowd, Better Off Ted, 30 Rock, Community, Knights of Prosperity, The Loop, New Girl, Sons and Daughters, Undeclared....

Koray Savas 2,254 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I enjoyed How I Met Your Mother for the first two seasons or so, and then it fell victim to every other cable network headliner... drag it out until no one watches anymore!The Big Bang Theory is just too much of a sitcom, with its overly good-looking cast and corny laugh track jokes. Ugh, I can't stand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 40,702 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yea HIMYM has been dragging its feet for years, its really annoying. They have 3-4 episodes a year that are great and tons and tons of filler. I wish they'd just introduce the damn mother already. Would have been nice to see her and Ted dating for a while before the show ended, but ow I feel like her story will be rushed through and we'll barely get to know her before she becomes Ted's life mate. I'm glad next season is the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,254 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 So they're finally ending it, and the mother is still unknown?The greatest TV romances are great because they've been there from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 40,702 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 So far 7 complete seasons have aired and he has not met the mother yet, no. I read that Season 8 would be the last, but I suppose CBS could always change their mind and extend it if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,308 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I think people give The Big Bang Theory way to much credit. It was amusing in its prime as a big bag of jokes, but now its become unbearable. I just watch it for the sake of watching it, but its really not funny anymore...On the other hand, shows like 30 Rock and Community continue to be hilarious (especially Community, it being the best sitcom on TV right now...). But the former will be ending with its last season and it won't be long before NBC cancels the latter too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 484 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Comedies usually need to be funny.I think sitcoms and broadcast dramas in general probably have five seasons' worth of good material to mine. When you have a sitcom that's past the fifth season, it becomes repetitive and tiresome. Even when Two and a Half Men dumped Charlie Sheen for Ashton Kutcher for its ninth season, it actually got worse.Some cancellations are a blessing in disguise.

Its one of the rare shows that actually make me laugh, unlike Big Bang Theory which never really gave me any big laughs, even in its prime (which it lost a LONG time ago).

I don't watch the show regularly, but I find myself chuckling whenever I tune in. Tina Fey is a national treasure. I love 30 Rock, but my appreciation for it was slightly diminished after watching Family Guy. A lot of 30 Rock's style is stolen from that show. Still, it's unique enough to be funny for different reasons.Curb Your Enthusiasm is genius. I recall Joey not being a fan of Seinfeld (or was it just the finale?) so obviously Curb won't have any appeal.Seinfeld is one of my all time favorite TV shows, but Curb doesn't hold a candle. It's funny, but after awhile I realized that the episodes are the same thing over and over again. It gets boring.Tina Fey is an overrated individual, she's just not funny. She disappears around better talent.Fey is probably the least funny main character in 30 Rock, you're not supposed to laugh at her lines. The funny stuff comes from Baldwin, Morgan, and the other lead female whose name escapes me.My current favorite TV shows are the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report.

Jamie Dutton 7,698 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've got Batman 1989 on right now. One of my favorites. I'm reminded instantly why I love this movie and why I prefer it to the newer ones. A quirky Bruce Wayne that's actually relatable and has charisma, Nicholson as the Joker totally hamming it up, everything designed to look cool first and foremost. The '89 Batmobile is clearly the greatest car ever, but he has to use a ******* grappling hook to take tight turns? I mean, I actually guess I've always found that badass as well.This movie made Batman so damn cool. Raiders-esque scene where a swordsman using a weapon from the totally wrong era somersaults from behind a wall (?) to challenge Batman and is instantly defeated with a kick. Plus, you've got Lando, the scene where they trash the museum to Prince music, the vehicles loaded with machine guns and bombs, awesome gratuitous shots of Batman posing with his cape and that bizarro scene where Bruce and Joker go to Vicki's apartment.
