Or just thinks it is overrated as fukk.
It is a show that had brilliant acting that covered up for seriously uneven writing.

Nostalgia is a brolic motherfukker.

 

[nieman]

Oh ish, I missed Veronica Mars and How I Met Your Mother, ST:TNG and Sherlock. I have to edit my list

 

[MartyMcFly]

Nostalgia is a brolic motherfukker.

Yeah I get that lol but even when the show was on it wasn't a great show. The writing is terrible the acting is worse. I love it to death but I acknowledge its faults

Yeah I haven't seen it yet.

@kp404 damn it, now I'm wondering if I should put Mr. Bean on my list. That show was a big part of my childhood and the only show my entire family would watch together

The show was so fukking well done too...I watched it as a kid too, but I watch it now and its still incredibly funny and well made. Mr. bean was ahead of his time. I bought the box set DVD a few years ago and its one I watch often.

And that is a perfect analysis. The writing was a major problem for me and I just watched the entire series again and the same problems crippled it for me...those Michael Imperioli written episodes were mostly :lebronyuk:
