I like Earl (& Randy).
Top three US sitcoms that can just f off Page 4
Quote: Timbo @ September 10 2008, 7:02 PM BSTOne of my top three, along with The Phil Silvers Show and Becker.
Top three to f**k off...?

No!
In fact I am struggling to think of a US sitcom that is entirely without redeeming features. Even the ghastly Will and Grace has a high quota of decent gags.
Quote: zooo @ September 10 2008, 7:05 PM BSTWell that's what I'm saying, not very well. I do care about Basil - cos he's hilarious. I don't care about Earl, cos he doesn't even make me laugh. At all.
It is odd, women don't seem to get Earl. Perhaps it is the moustache.
I like Earl. I don't try to watch it but if happen to be watching TV and it doesn't conflict with any of my favorites I happily watch it.
I think Joyce is my favorite character in that show. Sexy, trashy and very very funny.

Phew.

Haha!
I get annoyed by stupid characters. Like the brother. Homer annoys me too, when he's being particularly stupid. I can't stand it.
Quote: Curt @ September 10 2008, 6:24 PM BSTNOOOOOO Ian Noooooo! That ranks as one of the worst sitcoms I have ever watched. If not number one than at least #2. The only reason I didn't have it as the most overrated was because I didn't think anyone actually liked it since it was supposed to be canceled.
If there is one sitcom I wish that would just "F**k Off" it would be Back to You. So unfunny it makes me angry.
Oops, did I say something wrong? 
Yep, Back to You is unremarkable!
I never said it was remarkable, just that I enjoy it.

You must be annoyed by a shit load of comedy characters then? Baldrick. Father Dougal. Rodney. (I could go on but I can't think of anymore so I won't.)

Just sucks when you find out someone you thought had good taste says they like something you think sucks big time.
Like when I visited my home town this summer and I was berated by people I used to hang out with on a regular basis telling me the new Indiana Jones movie was actually good.
'My Name is Earl' is very good. I'd take a sitcom about thick, white-trash idiots from the USA, over a sitcom about thick white chavs from the U.K. (2 pints of Lager...) any day!
'Big Band Theory': Utter crap. And really really annoying. I thought I'd seen the last of this kind of obnoxious geeky nerd shit when 'Saved by the Bell' came to an end and Dustin Diamond went bankrupt.
Geeky American nerds with thick framed spectacles = NOT FUNNY. BEEN DONE TO DEATH IN VARIOUS AMERICAN TEENY-BOPPER MOVIES OVER THE YEARS.
The only nerd I can tolerate is Millhouse. 
Not at all! The Big Bang Theory is almost the story of my life.

Rodney yes. But the others no. I guess I must just mean stupid characters that don't have any other redeeming features to make up for it. (to me.)
Yes, I agree, they can all f**k off. Yes, all three of them are all able to f**k off. In fact, you are able to f**k off (too much to hope for there though!).
Let's see - what you mean is 'Top three US sitcoms that I would like to f**k off.' - or on a not-so-tolerant forum, would have to be posted thus: 'Top three US sitcoms that I hate'.
There are many sitcoms that I hate; that I think are total crap and wonder how they were ever commissioned but I appreciate that people actually watch them.
I've just looked at your profile and note that just finished your 'first year of an English and Writing degree'.
'just f**k off'
'Load of Pants'
'Intergalatic pants'
'Pretentious pants'
Since you don't state a particular University, just, 'here in Leeds' - I was wondering if you studied at one of those 'Colleges' that are usally situated above a Kebab Shop.
