On the other place I constantly saw memes of shows that I thought ‘well if they’re that popular they must be pretty good’
Shows like:
Avatar, The Office, Parks and Rec and IT Crowd
I’ve watched them and I just don’t get it. They aren’t so amazing that they are worth that level of adoration IMO. Avatar has its good spots and Parks and Rec is pretty enjoyable but I cringe at American office and IT crowd is forgettable.
However a show I actually really like, Community, only started getting the same type of treatment after the pandemic because people watched it on Netflix. Although it’s still not as popular as these others. Are people just really basic or am I out of touch?
Anyway, what show did you watch and think ‘I don’t get what the fuss is about’? Maybe it was Community?
It actually WAS Community for me. I tried it a few years back and it just didn’t click. I think because Joel and Pierce especially are such shitty people. Tried it again last year and loved it.
Same thing happened with The Orville. I didn’t even make it through the first episode the first time I tried it. Loved it the next time.
Sometimes it’s all about the timing in our lives or the experiences we’ve had.
Community is one of my all time favourite shows but lots of people just don’t get it. It was never a popular show when it originally aired.
I remember googling ‘community’ and the top result was the Wikipedia article for community it was that way going on season 3.
