Have you ever had that moment when you were happy a TV show you don't watch is ending?

Is it really a spoiler that the main villain of a shonen manga will be killed? No, no it is not, and Bleach is nowhere near clever enough to do anything else with any of its villains.BQE said:
That's pretty unfair. Some of us watch certain shows with bated breath and elect to be willfully ignorant of the cliches and tropes evident in such.Dirty Hipsters said:
I like Bleach. A fair amount of it anyway. Don't worry though, you can't shatter my disillusionment that easily.
Aizen dieing isn't actually that important to me, I'd much rather a whole lot more characters die off.
There was this show on Sy-Fy called Robot Combat League. I'm the hugest fan of Robot Wars and Battlebots that you could ever find, so you'd think I'd be overjoyed at a new robot combat show. But Robot Combat League was just so bad that I was praying for a mid-season cancellation. To me, it was an effigy of everything wrong with American television; you've got these gigantic robots that punch the shit out of each other, (made by the man who built Mechadon no less) and yet there's only 6-10 minutes of fighting per hour-long episode - the rest is confessionals, drama, and conversation. I wanted this show to be a bigger disaster than the Hindenburg docking the Titanic, because it was the only way that the TV execs would learn that this is NOT the kind of programming that they should be making.
I'd normally agree with your philosophy, but the rampant imitation of Jersey Shore scared me enough for the future of my nation that I actually did a Snoopy Dance when I found out it was canceled. Now if only we could get people to stop reporting on everything Snooki does.Fiz_The_Toaster said:No. I typically ignore shows that I don't like and I zone out when people talk about them.
I like to think that they're giving me time to think about things while they talk about shows that I don't care for.
It's very considerate of them if you think about it.
And maybe put a similar embargo on the Kardashians.
Yeah, most of the nerds on that show are way too functional. >.>amaranth_dru said:
Seriously, though, it's no more insulting than any other sitcom. Fair play if you don't like the material, but it's not like it's remotely unique in "misrepresenting" the people it portrays.
I think people are offended by the show because they picture the creators and writers pointing at them personally and laughing.
But I don't care that much about the show. All that I care about is the them.
And now it can stay or leave as it pleases.
That's still a thing?Zachary Amaranth said:I'd normally agree with your philosophy, but the rampant imitation of Jersey Shore scared me enough for the future of my nation that I actually did a Snoopy Dance when I found out it was canceled.

Wow, time sure does fly when you don't give a shit.
Honestly, I don't watch much TV anymore, so I'm actually surprised that it's still around and knock off shows are being made.
I'm suddenly sad, why did you have to ruin my mellow?
Jersey Shore. For about five seconds the show was Three Stooges-level stupid-funny. Then one realizes that the show only avoids cancellation by virtue of being "reality television," because that's the only way a terrible show with terrible actors can actually stay on the air.
Well, it was canceled, but it still seems to be a thing in terms of people acting like the people from the show. And treating a couple of the douchebags like they're celebrities.Fiz_The_Toaster said:

Yet, Duck Dynasty lives. And this season's premiere was the highest rated reality show premiere on cable TV ever.Zachary Amaranth said:
Yes: EVER.
Why is the world so cruel?
I want Breaking Bad to end. Not because I don't like it, I've never watched. I do find the premise interesting though, but with my final year of high school finally drawing to a close, I've got too much pop culture to catch up on as is, and it's nice to know that the show is over, just so I don't have to scramble to catch up before the next seasons starts. Thank god I read the "A Song of Ice and Fire" books last year.
I'm happy that Naruto is coming to an end (they're already having a final-ish battle). It just needs to be taken back behind the shed and introduced to the family double-barreled shotgun. Want some more Shonen series' to slowly get sick of anyway.
That does seem to be the prevailing attitude. For me, if I don't like it I don't pay any attention to it. I realize that it sometimes hard to ignore something when it's everywhere like in the case of the Twilight sage, but even then you can choose to let it bug you or you can dismiss it. No one is (presumably) forcing you to read/watch/listen to it so why do you care if other people do?Vigormortis said:
A valid question. One that a LOT of people around here apparently never thought to answer.canadamus_prime said:
I mean, beyond just this thread, look at the threads pertaining to the announcement of the SteamOS. Most of the people in them are bitching about it by saying things like, "I don't get it. Why are people excited for this? There's no info to go on, so why do people care at all? How is this going to work?"
Then, though they've just admitted that there's too little info to make a judgement on it, they proceed to make their own negative judgement calls; listing a slew of reasons why the SteamOS idea is "dumb" and why it "won't work".
I don't know what the hell happened around here, but the hyperbole and the hypocrisy are running rampant nowadays. Not to mention a dramatic increase in the number of personal attacks and over-generalizations.
In one of those threads someone said something akin to, "Shh. Be careful or the Valve fanboys will get you."
Had I said the same thing in a different thread, but replaced "Valve" with "Bioware", I'd have gotten an almost instantaneous warning.
What's really sad is the fact that if you call anyone on this you'll get the standard response of "It's the Internet, what do you expect?" As if that sort of behaviour is acceptable because it's the Internet.Vigormortis said:
Pretty much every show i like.
Let me explain. I am weird, i watc TV shows when they are complete. a show is over, then i get all the episodes, and watch them in order over the next month or so (depends on series lenght). Waiting "for next season" is very bad for me and GOT is the only show i do that.
So when a show is over i think "good, i can add it to 'this i can watch' now list"

Yeah, I was very happy when Lost ended, because then I didn't have everyone and their mother talk to me about it, asking me the same questions over and over. Otherwise, I usually try to pay as little attention to whatever happens to the show as possible.
