It's pretty awful. But this is the Trek thread. Keep that peasant shit outta here! :blob:

It is beyond awful. ( no pun intended ). It literally is a laughter track over dialogue. I've seen a lot of sitcoms being a comedy fan and the jokes in that are beyond predictable.

I always thought the writing on Futurama was stellar. Jokes that were original and clever and surprising that nobody else has ever thought of that joke before...

Interestingly - one of the writers of Futurama used to follow me on twitter and he HATED Big bang theory :lol


An example of a joke structure in Big Bang Theory is

" pass me x and dont knock over y whilst you're doing it "

" of course i;m not going to knock over y "

* knocks over y "

Sorry King but I gotta agree with Kotowboy and Blob on this one, Big Bang is shitty as hell.

I dunno, the Big Bang theory was extremely revolutionary. It really was a game changer, and in my opinion, the result of pure genius.


Oh you guys mean the TV show? Absolute rubbish.

You're trying to argue that awards and ratings equal quality? On a prog forum?? :lol


Justin Bieber sells a fuck load of records ! he must be GREAT !!!!
Justin Bieber IS great.  Probably the hardest-working guy in show business right now.  Great songwriter, decent musician, puts on a hell of a show, and funny as hell and a decent actor to boot.  He is incredibly talented, and deserves everything he's gotten.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Sorry to side track by you guys are the minority.  It is widely popular with critics, it's peers.  It's a very good show.  I know there are some shows that is very good that the populous does not like and I've watched many like that as well but a good show is a good show.

Well i've given my own personal reasons and examples from the show as to why I find it so bad. What is it about it that you like ?

For me it's the annoying and overly cliched characters. The fact that it's marketed as a show full of pop culture and science / geek references when that is just completely false. Obviously the over bearing laughter over every single line of - what is essentially dialogue. The catchphrase "Bazinga"...


Whereas Futurama WAS full of pop culture refs, clever nerdy/geek/science/tech jokes..Brilliantly original writing and great characters.

We know lots of people watch it. Popular doesn't mean it's good. Given the recent election, the opinion of the average person in the US is worth exactly dick-all to me. Tons of people also hate the show. Using popularity to prove that something is good isn't an argument that should hold any water on a prog forum of all places. :biggrin:

Now seriously, can we get back to Star Trek, instead of arguing about some unrelated sitcom? I gave an opinion on a Star Trek doco with a passing mention of something, then Kotow had to get triggered into a sideways unrelated rant that took it off topic. The reason I mentioned it in the first place was because I DIDN'T WANT IT IN MY STAR TREK!  :police:

But Wil Wheaton was in BBT.

Oh right - the guy who thought INto Darkness was the best Trek Movie and Beyond was Awful... :lol

The guy who hops on every geeky bandwagon going.

THAT GUY.

I'm hoping that Star Trek Beyond sells enough on Home Video to warrant a 4th movie. Despite JJ saying a 4th movie was 100% happening - whilst Beyond was still in theaters -

It did not make tidal waves and was the lowest performing of the 3. Saying that Chris Hemsworth would be in the next one is just them trying to get the Avengers audience in.

Obviously movies are a business but it's pretty transparent.

If I thought his music was any good at all i'd say so. But i don't.  I'm also not against pop music. A song is a song is a song.

His music is Poptarts. take it out of the box and put it in the toaster for 3 mins and you got a #1 single on the charts.

It's not good songwriting. It's about as formulaic and generic as it gets and is written by 20 "producers" and sounds like it was made by a computer in 1 minute.

You should have probably left it at "If I thought his music was any good at all i'd say so. But i don't."  Everything you posted after that showed there was no use talking about it with you (especially in a Star Trek thread).

Good thing everyone knows how formulaic it is to make popular music.  Easy peasy, anyone could do it.  Good to know.

FWIW, it isn't electronic.  Full band, and a big band too, complete with horn section.

But you're right, he should be more authentic and original.  Like Oasis.

Kotowboy I wanted to engage in a simple conversation that destroys Bieber but now you've created an unnecessarily uneasy climate because of your condescending tone and now I'm left with either siding with a Bieber sympathizer or the condescending poster, D'oh!
Hef I have little baby girls and I know you have a teenage daughter if I recall right, so one thing I can think to say is that I might be here in 14 years to defend the Bieber of the time against the next incarnation of Kotowboy, if that happens I'll give you a shout out heh

Thankfully, I can quite truthfully say I've never heard even a snippet of the guy's music. I admire him for getting to deflower Selena Gomez, but otherwise he's just some generic knucklehead who might or might not warrant his staggering wealth.
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

I can't believe this is happening, but this entire time, even though the name is clearly typed Bieber everywhere, I just realized that the person I have actually been talking about is not Justin Bieber, but Justin Timberlake.

I did the same thing just the other day.  My wife was watching some movie with Timberlake in it, and I looked and asked "Is that Bieber?" and she said "No, that's Justin Timberlake" and I was gonna say something smartass like "Same thing" but I didn't because I actually kinda like Timberlake both as an actor and as a singer, and I really did mean to say Timberlake.  Bieber I just want to smack in the face hard with something really heavy.
