Had to google Yellowstone (1883), never heard of it which makes sense since it is a Paramount+ exclusive? IMDb ratings seem to be going through the roof though  :buggedout:

I'll bet old middle age mothers watch it for Sam Elliot. And the horses.

Not even joking, the writer and creator of the show (who also did Wind River and Hell or High Water, guys got talent for sure) plays a character on the regular Yellowstone show, and they show him riding horses like 3 or 4 times an episode doing montages of horse riding tricks, and it's irrelevant to the storyline 99% of the time.  It's so masturbatory it's hilarious.

OK, I think this opinion will get things - underpants, shoes, small rodents (thank you, Indy) etc thrown at me.

Except for a few episodes here and there, I have never found The Big Bang Theory funny, in fact quite the opposite. The cast is great but I find Jim Parsons' character grating and too much of a know it all.

All of us here, we are all nerds (I say that with pride) but that lot on that program:  :buggedout:

There, I've said it. *Hides in bathroom*

The Big Bang Theory is a stupid show about smart people.
   Arrested Development is a smart show about stupid people.


I wholly agree, Big Bang Theory is nothing but a 100% formulaic sit com with horrible people we want to avoid in real life. 

However, I love "House". Granted, I only like about 10 whole episodes out of the whole series. The producers started making him even more self destructive than was necessary IMHO.  I stopped watching after he crashed his car into Cuddy's living room.

I do agree, "Seinfield" was never funny, clever or original. Highly over rated.

I may get some flack for this..but MASH ... not that good a show.

The show with the message that it's okay to be a bully, so long as your target is an @$$hole. The inherent flaw in this being that most if not all bullies perceive their targets as such.

So glad it's not just me that noticed that ugly side of the show

The ending of GAME OF THRONES really wasn't that bad.

I tried once but couldn't get into BREAKING BAD. Currently it's probably one of the highest rated shows in IMDb for some reason, and I've heard pretty much everybody I know rave about it. I'll try again one day, but for now I simply don't care about the whole premise.

I've never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones and don't intend to.  Nothing I've seen from it interests me.

Law and order criminal intent was the best LnO spin-off ever made.

Aside from the Charlie Murphy's segments,  most of Chappelle's Show  really wasn't that funny. 

Bob's Burgers is incredibly hit or miss.  One episode will be hilarious, the next will be boring as h e l l .  Its one of those shows I want to like more than I do.

The blind klansman sketch was a comedy classic. Other than that, I don't think I ever laughed at "Chappelle's Show."

The best black sketch comedy show was "Key & Peele," constantly hilarious.

The Jodie Whitaker era of DOCTOR WHO is the worst that the show has ever seen, she is a p**s-poor Doctor and showrunner Chris Chibnall ran the show into the ground with his s**tty writing and unlikable characters . I'm glad that they both have left.

So, last night I rewatched the episode THE INNER LIGHT of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. I remember doing it for the first time a couple of years ago, and being very hyped about it. I mean, it's the highest rated episode and usually considered as the best in the entire series. I was all like, better than Q WHO, THE ENEMY, THE DEFECTOR, YESTERDAY'S ENTERPRISE? Better than THE OFFSPRING and THE MEASURE OF A MAN? No way. And that's just counting some episodes before season 5.

SPOILERS ALERT

When I finally watched, I felt... underwhelmed. This second time, I was plain bored. I don't know what I expected, but certainly not that over sentimental stuff. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a great episode, but it's not only inconsistent, but deeply flawed. How did that people managed to create such a piece of technology when they barely started to launch missiles to the sky, for example?
Something that I feel it could've helped the episode a lot was to save the reveal of his return as a surprise ending, meaning, you only see what happens in the Enterprise after the planet collapses. Otherwise it's pretty obvious that he is living a lifetime in a matter of minutes, taking away the impact.

One of my main gripes is that the experience should've changed Picard completely, and yet they never even make a reference to it, except in another one where it barely matters. Not only that, but Picard wakes up and he's like "ok, I'm back being a captain now". Seriously? After a lifetime, you just go back? Come on.
Not to mention, it could've happened to anyone. Picard doesn't really act as Picard in this other life, you could've changed to Riker and nothing changes. Hell, it could happen in any sci fi or fantasy series or movie. It feels totally disconnected from the rest of the episodes, as if it were a standalone production.

I know this rant makes no sense, especially decades after it aired, but it's just bugs me.

tl;dr: THE INNER LIGHT from STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION is overrated.
