Season 9 is pretty bad so far. Guess they realised it was time to end.

by McAgger Thu Apr 03, 2014 11:43 pm

Season 9 gets better RG. As a whole it's better than both season 7 and 8.

Seen 11 episodes of season 9. Had to skip half of them. The best ones were whenever they flashbacked to the time where Barney was single etc.

Season 7 and 1st half of season 8 were both much better IMO. For me it peaked when Barney proposed Robin. Although some episodes of the 2nd half of season 8 were still great

by McAgger Fri Apr 04, 2014 10:22 am

Friends drama and friends comedy over HIMYM. Seriously you cannot compare the genius of Friends with HIMYM. Plus only those who've seen both series in their entirety can make the comparison.

So don't even bring around your biased poverty opinions unless you've sat through 10 seasons of both.

And Seinfeld :bow:

by M99 Fri Apr 04, 2014 10:43 am

I did sit through the combined 19 seasons of both. HIMYM drama is easily better than Friends drama. Was there anything in Friends that got you near teary like HIMYM did? Did it have any classic dramatic scenes like the 2 minute date, Ted and Barney's reconciliation, Barney's love of my life speech etc? I do remember some great moments but they were nowhere near the quantity or quality of HIMYM though. Overall I liked Friends better but certainly not so much that I declare it sacrilege when someone says HIMYM is the better show.

You ain't alone, brah.

It and Big Bang Theory are basically the same thing to me....utter garbage.

I also second It's Always Sunny....and will also mention Trailer Park Boys....Bubbles Proud

Just finished HIMYM.

What the actual f? That was one of the most terrible endings I have ever seen in any TV Show. They absolutely ruined it. Whole season 9, the wedding, Robin-Barney thing, Robin-Ted thing. That was all just a giant waste of time. Nothing made sense. It was forced and they destroyed half the characters which they spent 8 years developing.

I have no idea how you guys managed to get emotional because I was too pissed off while watching the last two episodes. I don't like sitcoms. This is the 2nd ever sitcom I have ever gotten attached to and liked it so much but the ending was a betrayal to the 8 seasons.

by Soul Sat Apr 05, 2014 12:41 am

Completely agree with you RG.

One of the worst endings to a series IMO

by Soul Sat Apr 05, 2014 12:43 am

Can you guys recommend a good crime series? One without bad acting and stupid plots

by McAgger Sat Apr 05, 2014 12:56 am

Fargo comes out April 15th.
We don't know actually how it'll do. But there is potential.

True Detective, trust me, it is one of the best series out there.

by juventus101 Sun Apr 06, 2014 1:40 pm

Just started Trur Detective. Im gonna finish this in a few days and then I need a new show. So far ive seen:

TD*
Justified (My Favorite)
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
The Walking Dead
Supernatural
Lost
Heroes Season 1
Misfits Seasons 1 & 2

I think I want to start Ray Donovan and House of Cards next, but I want to know how action packed it is or if it is all talking talking talking cuz while sometimes thats great, I need some action. Justified is the perfect mix for me. So could somebody help me out?

by El Gunner Sun Apr 06, 2014 3:53 pm

House of Cards is what your looking for.

Yeah, I don't get this show either. Every now and then there's some new internet meme popping up about this show and it seems that the show has gained some sort of cult following from that. From all of the episodes I have seen, this is like an unfunny Seinfeld, following the lives of some really unlikeable and uninteresting characters who you are meant to sympathise with, but don't. It's in that half-assed comedy genre which I hate. You know, the drama with a few "jokes" thrown in and then it's labelled a "sitcom". But the writers seem to have missed the point of a sitcom - the situation should be part of the comedy. Seinfeld revolved around obsession with minutiae and teasing that idea out to absurd lengths. They took the trivial and made it interesting. For me, HIMYM is just a normal drama with only one main character thrown in for comic relief - Barney. Most of his comedy, as Che said, consists of pathetic ideas for picking up women. And I don't mean pathetic in the sense that I would describe George Costanza in Seinfeld, whose attempts to meet women are actually treated as pathetic in the show. By contrast, Barney is portrayed as a hero in the show, when in reality he would receive rejection after rejection for his lame pick-up attempts. Boring.

by McAgger Mon Apr 07, 2014 1:03 am

Which is it would never ever be as good as Friends or Seinfeld. It's a poverty version of those shows. However I think you exaggerate a bit with saying characters are unlikable and uninteresting. HIMYM has its moments.

by Blue Barrett Mon Apr 07, 2014 2:02 am

Silicon Valley looks like it might have some potential. Enjoyed every bit of it. Maybe because I'm a bit of a nerd myself but still...

by M99 Mon Apr 07, 2014 5:01 am

Unlikable, uninteresting characters?

ok

by elitedam Tue Apr 08, 2014 1:38 am

I thought Silicon Valley was awful and couldn't believe that Mike Judge created it. Like M99 said, the characters were horrible, one note, and lame. The premise has potential and since Judge is in charge I'll give it a few more episodes.
