    I'm about to start hating on stuff so bring on the "Below hates everything" quips because I know they're coming. Can't say a damn thing without someone bringing them up. Though I will say, here I think my complaints are entirely justified.




    Anyway




    What the **** is with that show Duck Dynasty, anyway? It's literally one of the worst things I've seen in my entire life yet nearly everyone in my family and extended family loves it. It's like The Big Bang Theory. Suddenly everyone is fuqin bonkers for the show and it's a steaming pile. Duck Dynasty is to reality TV as TBBT is to sitcoms. They're both pandering garbage with bare-bones writing who recycle jokes with the least amount of creativity possible. I stopped watching The Big Bang theory like immediately because, well one the way it portrays geeks in a "look, point, laugh" sort of way, but mainly because it's abundantly clear that the writing process of that show is Wiki-surfacing well-known geek properties, reading the trivia section, and ham-fisting the references into as many sex-oriented situations as they can put out in a week. And it's just not funny. At all. I can't criticize Duck Dynasty as well because I've seen all of thirty seconds of that show, but having only seen that it's obvious that it's the same thing. It's probably the most obviously scripted reality show I've seen, and no, I don't make a point to watch reality television, but I feel like I'm spot on here. I don't know if this is because the writing is that bad or if the acting is that bad. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say it's both. The same complaint I have about the jokes on TBBT apply to this show as well, they're not creative and they're not funny.

    This is pretty much about 85% of television anyway.

    Ugh, so like this one lady was trying to buy merchandise from Duck Dynasty and my co-worker was ringing it up for her across from me. Mind you, this woman was caucasian-looking. And then I was ringing up two African-american women when suddenly this woman goes on a rant supposedly defending the show of its controversy with their homophobic and racist statements. And the three of us at the register rolled our eyes at the same time.

    Just the way people talk about this show and from what I watched (probably like an hour of it or so), it's definitely something that I just question about in today's television programming.

    ughhh

    When I first heard of the show I expected a riveting drama about Scrooge McDuck's financial rise and fall in the tumultuous flux of the 2000s recession.

    I was soundly disappointed.

    I'm a fan of TBBT, and even I have to say that this is pretty accurate. TBBT basically tries to cater to everyone. We all have some obscure interests. Their references are slightly obscure, but not that obscure, so that we all can relate to it on some level without feeling too alienated. I think this is partly why it's successful.

    I find it humorous, but not laugh out loud funny. There's probably only about one laugh out loud moment for me in each episode, and the rest, I probably only smile or snicker at. Which is still a lot more from me than most of the sitcoms on TBS.

    Also, at least TBBT is better than most sitcoms on TV these days (besides How I Met Your Mother and It's Always Sunny).

    Let's be real the only reason TBBT is so popular is because of Jim Parson's character, Sheldon. He's the only reason I used to watch the show.
    Just like why HIMYM is so popular, because of Neil Patrick Harris.

    And both actors are gay. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

    Its the only reason I like it. Without him it wouldn't be anywhere near as successful.

    Duck Dynasty came out of nowhere.

    I'd like it to go back to nowhere.
