Almost happy

To be fair pretty much all groups of people are grossly misreprented in most TV shows, nerds aren't exactly alone in that. So that doesn't bother me much. The show's still meh though.

pretty much all groups are misrepresented in pretty much all shows? i don't think that's true at all ... i can name at least a dozen shows that don't do that much at all

Yeah, there are a lot of good shows with good characters, but most shows are bad in general. That's why I don't really watch TV anymore, and just download the things I know are good.

What I meant was that there are loads and loads of bad sicoms and drama shows that have completely one dimensional and stereotypical characters, no matter what type of character they are.

ark, it's like you said, you just need to watch the good ones!

Well that depends on how you define sitcom. I'd call Arrested Development a sitcom for example. Any multi camera show with a laugh traack is cancer and should die though.

Why doesn't someone do a TV show where people like Star Trek and videogames and science but aren't, you know, dickheads.

you're right that single-camera shows are almost always better though

I love Walking Dead. The season finale was fucking awesome. I'm really intrigued by the new Michoun character.

naw I never bought it. I was going to research controller capability since that is my # 1 concern, and I kind of forgot about the whole thing. It's too close to KI: Uprising now for me to get into a big game like that, so I'm calling the whole idea off indefinitely.

Quote from Ntsc:

Yup. I've read the compendium of comics (48), so I'm way ahead of the show, but it's different enough that I can still enjoy it. Some things have been more different than others, but the general story is being followed pretty closely.

Ya know, King of the Hill always reminded me of a sitcom. Really great cartoon.

And Seinfeld wasn't bad, right?

I love seinfeld, and: Everyone Loves Raymond, Golden Girls, and Raising Hope.

Simpsons, Family Guy, Cleveland Show, and South Park are all good, too.

arrested development is really the only great one that comes to mind and it's hard to call that a sitcom as it's single camera

that 70s show is one i watched all of though
