Do you all remember Hinder? They were so bad they actually knocked off Nickelback. Lips of an Angel? God, that was awful. And even the Foo Fighters made some terrible Nickelback-lite songs in that time period. Wheels was disgustingly bad. If I was Dave Grohl, I would have followed in Kurt Cobain's footsteps before putting that drivel out for public consumption.

I think there's just a very diverse smorgasbord of entertainment for us to hate on other than Nickelback. Rant over. :)

The early 2000's were a bad time for rock music. You might even say it "Hoobastank."

Personally, I blame Fred Durst and Aaron Lewis for most of it.

Oh thanks, I had managed to erase my teenage fandom Hoobastank, Creed, and Staind from my memory until now.

Worse than Two and a Half Men? Worse than Two and a Half Men with Ashton Kutcher?!?!

Worse than Two Broke Skanks (Girls)?

This thread is plenty long but I feel it is important to agree that while big bang theory is full of terrible "easy" humor and annoying characters, Two and a Half Men and Two Broke Girls are, in ascending order, the worst tv shows ever.

All of those Chuck Lorre shows suck. They all use the same tired writing method that BBT relies on.

The thing though is that I've never had anyone try to convince me that Two Broke Girls or 2.5 Men were particularly intelligent or even that funny, for that matter. For the most part it seems like people like those shows for what they are: mostly unfunny punch line delivery devices that take zero thought or investment to get the jokes and characters. Back ground music, so to speak.

I've had to hear several times how smart and funny BBT is and that if I don't think it's funny it's because I don't understand it.

Well that's definitely not the case. It's definitely just a sitcom with a little dorky stuff mixed in. While there are some infinitely stupid people who wouldn't understand any physics references, I don't think applies to anyone in this thread.

My main point is that it's not the worst thing on TV and that I enjoy it for the basic sitcom that it is.

Yeah, I wasn't directing it at you - just explaining some of the vitriolic hate for BBT. My point is that all basic sitcoms are kind of the exact same show/jokes, but with different window dressing, but there are a lot of folks who act like BBT is something different due to said window dressing.

Makes sense.

I know there are some people who hate BBT because it's making fun of nerdy people. So there's another reason.

I hated Nickelback and TBBT before it was cool.

I know what you mean, though. Remember how back in the early 90's it was cool to hate Saddam Hussein? And then, like, everybody started hating him, and it became such a cliche, and people stopped talking about him for a while. Then, like 10 years later, it became cool to hate him again, and everyone did it all over again. It's just like that with TBBT and Nickelback. They're just like Saddam Hussein... except he's dead, and we can only wish that everyone in TBBT and Nickelback was.

So where are we on Bon Jovi? They were OK in the mid 80s, you were considered unmanly to like them from about 1990-2005 or so and then they became hip for a bit. Are we back to considering them to be as manly as the bangles again?
