Lena Dunham is praised as mega star by the media, but "Girls" weak TV ratings prove otherwise

[spliz]

No I haven't played wow, just shocked a show with that subject matter seems to be one of the most popular shows on TV, on some stream sites I go on, they have a chart and GoT show is easily the most watched even though its not airing new episodes at the moment AFAIK, even more views than TWD.


Just surprising that such a "nerdy" show is so popular, IIRC, neither of the two Star Trek shows on during the late 90s was as popular, nor was Zena or Hercules, so shocked the thread on here about GoT does numbers, seems like the type of show posters on here would be embarrassed to admit they watch IRL, cause of the subject matter.


I remember someone made a thread in Seum and they was tempted to watch this live when one episode came on during the same time as the NBA Finals

The show is not nerdy...at all..

Breh, watch the damn show. You sound ignorant as fukk about Game of Thrones. There is nothing nerdy about it.

i would have been for a How To Make It In America/Girls double on a Sunday.

Girls was never going to get big ratings to be fair.
it's too much of a polarizing show..it's way easier for a show like it to have people hate it than it is like it.

Dunham status is mainly down to the fact she is young woman that can write, direct and had a critically acclaimed movie and tv series all around the age of 25 etc..helps that she comes from a wealthy background and all that shyt and she has a following.

Not to mention having a horrible looking body but being nude gets praised today....no one should be suprised this show lasted long.

My first post in this thread I said I watched the plot (the first episode)


I'm not hating on people who watch GoT, I'm a Star Trek stan it wouldn't make since for me to hate on GoT fans for liking a nerdy show so IDK why y'all is getting in your feelings it was just an observation.





I have no interest in watching shows that take place in the past, I just watched the plot out of curiosity/see what the hype was about and didn't care to watch the 2nd episode Maybe I try it again when I finish Breaking Bad.



I could understand the outrage If I was said The Wire or SoA was nerdy but we are talking about GoT here, a Sci Fi fantasy show

As someone who watches star trek you will appreciate this.

GOT is not Scfi fantasy but just plan fantasy. also it does not take place in the past but in an alternate world altogether

I realized ol'girl isn't going anywhere. She has been hyped up ever since she was a kid.

Had New York Times articles about her when she was a teenager.

Having a guest spot on Scandal this coming week.

I will if she shows up on Empire.

She'd probably be on the show for the nikkas & Fat White Women stereotype.

I stopped watching after season 2, and that first season 3 episode
shyt fell off like a bad bag of dope.

But a lot of the GoT/ASOIAF world is based on real-life Medieval/ancient times history.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! Nobody wants to watch a TV show about gays!

Not just that. A lot of the places, locations, & people in the GoT/ASOIAF world are based on real-life Medieval/ancient times history. We've disscussed before it in the GoT Season 4 thread.
