Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

WAS good.

Modern Family did some superb stuff but the kids grew up. Some of the cheekiest playing with taboos ever for a mainstream show (barring The Simpsons of course).

I'm just going to put this out there

I reckon I have seen every ep of Everybody Loves Raymond, many of them multiple times.

Its not bad.

Misread ya sorry mate.. Love thy Neighbour is cringeworthy I can't imagine how it was acceptable even back then.

I dismissed american sitcoms but i was talking more the Kings of Queens, Everybody Blows Raymond, Frasier, Friends through to 3rd rock & that geek one whatever it is garbage.

Yeah but that criticism is 30 years out of date now.

I can't agree with that, but I have probably watched the episode where Robert is dating the girl who eats a fly about 20 times.

Not bad? It's f*&*ng diabolical.

* Edit: except one episode where as a sports writer he was given 2 tickets to the Super Bowl and asks a mate along But per the traditions of 'I Love Lucy' comedy his wife hears about the tickets and wants to go because wherever it is she want to go shopping there. Of course once the premise that he can't tell her is set up there's the half hour. It was actually amusing.

It's like the episode of Just Shoot Me with David Cross as "Slow Donnie". A middling sitcom that turned out a masterpiece of an episode.

Everybody Loves Raymond is kind of like the Nickelback of sitcoms.

I mean if if Nickelback is on the radio I won't switch stations but I won't necessarily seek it out

Rules Of Engagement is the sitcom you get when Republicans try to make one.

This is spot on. It does my head in, but I still watch it.

So underrated

Frank. What a bastard.

Check out Peter Boyle in Taxi Driver and Monster's Ball. Huge actor.

Is there anyone not related to a Marie?

The last few pages just shows it takes all types.

Frasier

Everybody Loves Raymond

King of Queens

Becker

I'm pretty sure ch10 plays these on repeat every night.

And Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed

His quirkiest role remains that of John Lennon's best man.

Paul Blart Mall Cop is better than King of Queens imo

Wait I got that arse-about. Still.

The last seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond are not even funny, it's depressing to watch. They should have stopped the show once he started going downhill.

I did like that show, a really good version of an old-fashioned style. Strong cast. Went about 4 series before it went to poo. My favourites if you knew the show were the 'Host a murder party' and the 'Gallo Sandwich' episodes. But yes David Cross played Donny twice I think.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Doesn't surprise me that Nickleback fans like Everybody Loves Raymond

 

[Powerstufff]

OK, Detectorists on Foxtel is a gentle pleasure for me at present. Last of the Summer Wine style humour.

I always hated Kevin Smith movies. Silent Bob is a shit and unfunny character
