What? Only BBC2? Not BBC1 primetime?
Seriously though, sounds like I'll have to give it a go on the repeats. I just don't like joining in with something half way (threads about G&S excepted).
Quote: ajp29 @ May 27, 2007, 4:26 AMI repent, i'm sorry, please forgive me for having an opinion. Can you see god up there on your moral high horse? MS is obviously far superior to all of us so we should stop having opinions and start conforming cos apparently BSG ain't a democratic forum.
I wasnt on my moral high horse, and I think everyone should express their opinion; I was just pointing out the fact that I thought the person you were attacking was always posting and replying with good humour; whilst you were accusing him of being up his own arse and, I think, of in fact being an arse. I was just hoping for friendly debate, not name calling, I get that everyone has an opinion of their own and I appreciate opposing views to my own, I just dont like or see the point in posts, which at least to me, appear aggressive in tone.
I think youll find I have never tried to stop people giving their opinion, why the hell would I want to? Im just against poeple getting a cob on because people dont agree with them. And if this is a democratic forum, then I think people should be able to continuously defend a show they happen to like, something which others actually seem to have a problem with. So lets express all of our differing opinions, but also keep it friendly, debate is the name of the game, not arguments and who can come up with the best put downs.

Thats good humour Matthew?
Well, yes; its humorous in tone, I think. Thats why all the exclamation marks and face thingy at the end. I read it as being in good humour anyway. And it was in defence at a few posters having a go in return, but yes, that reads as good natured ribbing to me.
I just dont understand why people are getting so heated about this, and seemingly taking the whole thing so personally! Its just a few people with differing views about a programme!!!

It's prejudice from the apparent conditions in which the show was produced.
Exactly, its the equivilent of a man giving a woman a job just because of her looks rather than qualifications. Anyway how does being an extra in average programmes qualify you to be a writer? Also, in my opinion, G and S is not very good.
Heck... I can stand all the name calling... it's just the lack of correct spelling, grammar and punctuation which gets to me...
Seriously... do you lot ever check over your typing?
Oh, hang on… I’ve just realised you might not understand me, so here’s my post again… in 'thicko-text':
heck ic an stand all the name calling its just the lack of coreect spellinggrammer and punctuatio’n which get’s to me seriously do you lot ever check over you’re typing
Anal alert!
I once bought this film called 'Anal Lesbians 2'. It turned out to be a load of butch looking women cleaning up.
What the hell is going on in this thread? Can't people put their evident egos to one side and discuss this properly without getting personal and insulting? Returning an insult is almost as bad as no one needs to lower themselves here.
Surely everyone knows that comedy is subjective. GandS will have fans and critics like EVERY sitcom does. This forum is to discuss these opinions, knowing that people will disagree and that its not an offence to have different tastes.
I don't know or have slept with anyone involved with GandS and I like it a lot. Believe me I don't like most new comedies. Its not got as many laughs as the sitcom greats but its got an engaging story (pardon the pun) and thats how I think they planned it.

Thats exactly what ive been trying to say, but it seems to have been a controversial point of view with some people for some reason! Its a good thing that theres different points of view, so we can have a healthy discussion. So lets all put across our views, whether we agree or not, and not take it so seriously/personally when others, and their will always be those with opposing views, disagree with you.
I agree it's not a gag gag gag sitcom. Y'no there's no set-up joke. But i think it's this that makes it so truly original. It's funny because the characters are so brilliantly observed. It's odd for a half our comedy to have so many strong seriel elements and that's what makes it so compelling. x

I'm sorry your honour. If I'd known it would end up like this I'd have never started it. Please give me a lenient sentence.

Might be anal, but from the site rules...
Unless said in legitimate context (for example, a programme title), "txt spk" is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN, and will NOT BE TOLERATED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. This is a pet hate of the BSG's editors, and will be heavily enforced. As far as is possible, correct English spelling and grammar should be used. We also request that members refrain from SHOUTING UNNECESSARILY in their posts.
Just a friendly note to anyone who has let their standards slip.
Anyway, back on topic-ish. Calm down everyone! I really don't want to have to close this thread, but it's getting perilously close.
