Is Fox run by the biggest bunch of idiots in the world, or what?

i think i was one of those people who should be watching it but still aren't for confusing reasons.

when i watch it, i feel like i should like it. the plot summaries and events that happen throughout seasons seem hilarious to me, but when i actually sit down to watch it, i feel absolutely nothing.

there's SOMETHING missing from that show...

It's probably that there's no laughtrack so he doesn't know when to laugh.

Scrubs does well without a laughtrack. Arrested is just very fast paced, and the narration is really strange.

btw I dont even watch shows on Fox anymore.. why watch them when they'll get cancelled in a week? It's always the same.

Arrested Development is (was?

) the best comedy on television.

Scrubs a close second.

That's what you get for being the Best Comedy on TV two years in a row....cancelled by FOX.

i've only discovered this show on DVD recently, and, like other shows cut before their time, ii think it's too smart for the average t.v. viewer who needs a laugh-track to let them know when something's funny.

dubman · #10 11-11-2005, 10:26 AM

allright, allright.

i think it's maybe because i could never care about any of them, and that they aren't characters so much as vehicles for written jokes they have no personality outside of.

godd lord you guys.

"aha, he doesnt find it funny, he must need something conventional and boring because this certainly isnt! hi-fives!"
