TV shows that need to die

The odd thing is both my sister and I are autistic.  She likes Sheldon I want to kill the guy.  His gag is he's autistic laugh at him.

The Big Bang Theory is pathetic. It tries waaaay too hard to be something it's not.

I like it...

Though it was definitely way better when it was less about the Shamy. In other words, the series started going way downhill after Season 3.

Why do I get the feeling that's what you're talking about?

[Sleepy]

Nah, I never liked the show from day one. I want to deck most of the characters, especially Sheldon.

You know, I'd heard a lot of good things about The Big Bang Theory, but nobody told me what kind of show it was, so I was led to believe it was a little more.. intelligent. I was extremely disappointed when I actually watched it and found out it was... a sitcom... about what some screenwriter thinks geeks are like. Maybe it was just the episode I watched, but it seemed like all the jokes boiled down to "look how socially awkward these people are! Funny!"

As I hinted at before, the show was much more intelligent until the start of season 4. Maybe the people who told you about it hadn't watched past the end of the third season.

These days, it's dangerously close to becoming lowest-common-denominator drivel. Hell, to some fans, it's already too late.

I didn't even know there was a new Ninja Turtles...*has 80s cartoon flashback*

All of the squee.

Actually, the new TMNT cartoon had a fight scene that was, shot for shot, an homage to a similar fight scene from the comics -- the ones that predated the cheesy cartoon we all know and love, and was known for being much darker and edgier.

I'm still not interested in it, but then my TMNT phase was short as a kid.

I kinda like the new TMNT (never was a big TMNT fan I saw the reboot that came on in 03 I  believe and I never saw the 80's cartoon since I was born in the mid 90's)

The new one seems to be mixing and matching elements from the other incarnations and doing their own thing at the same time. I did watch the first several episodes before giving up... some things are a bit 'off' (Donatello has a high, nasally voice and a pronounced lisp, for one).

He seems more like a infantile border line sociopath then autistic.

That's what happens when somebody who doesn't get psychology reads a description of autism and wildly misinterprets it. Autism symptoms before it was recognized as a spectrum disorder: trouble with empathy and social cues, limited range of interests, may not be fully developed emotionally. Symptoms of sociopathy: lack of empathy, may not be fully developed emotionally. Somebody who's unaware of the differences between them can really do damage.

Huh? I know the difference, In early episodes he was just weird and mildly annoying. Newer episodes the writers seem to be making him into an unlikable, irritating, ass.

I was saying the writers don't know (or don't care) about the difference. He's getting the Flanderization treatment...

We're living in a weird age where we currently have some of the best and deepest TV shows ever produced and yet at the same time we also have the most vacuous and shameful TV shows ever produced.

It is the best of times, it is the blurst of times?
