HIMYM has good parts which blows because the good jokes or emotional moments are outweighed heavily by the bad.

 

The last episode I watched they were trying to pick up girls at the airport and it was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.

 

Damn because that was one of the good ones

 

Despite the historically bad ending, and very drawn out pointless last few seasons, there really isn’t a show that has aged more poorly.

justice for Cristina Milioti

 

I wouldn't defend most of HIMYM now, but are we really saying it had "edge lord" humor? I guess we have very different definitions of what that means lol.

 

Ah, but did you happen to catch the one where Barney literally sells a woman?

 

I don’t think the show had edge lord humor. I was saying edge lord humor was prevalent on the internet at that time and so pretty much anything got a pass back then, which is really shitty in hindsight.

 

Network sitcoms tend to punch down a lot, which means they are going to age very quickly once that humor becomes unacceptable.

 

Barney’s storylines always catered to the type of people that loved “Two And A Half Men.” Always the worst part of the series. It was hilarious they tried to give him a touching, emotional finale when he deserved to end up like the “Seinfeld” characters.

They truly fell backasswards into casting Cristin Milioti and messing that up by killing her off because they just had to adhere to the ending they filmed like a decade earlier.

 

HIMYM is nothing special, but I don't think Cristin is either. Haven't seen her in anything extraordinary.

 

I actually really liked Made for Love and The Resort

 

That's a creepy gif

 

Palm Springs is perfect

 

one of the reasons abbott is good, completely avoids that

 

insane to admit, watch palm springs and made for love!

 

I am on the second season. I don't love it but there are the occasional funny moments. Being a teacher there is some stuff that resonates more for me but at the same time some of the particulars of the way they represent schools bothers me. I wish I had the amount of time they had to hang out in each others' rooms and they never capture the depressing ten minute lunch teachers have between grading and answering emails and covering other classes.

 

Abbot Elementary I think is going to age better than something like Parks and Recreation. Easier to get behind teachers in a poor school district just trying to do their best vs a group of people pumped to work for the government (minus April and Ron Swanson of course)

 

also it helps the first season doesn’t suck

 

Parks is fantastic

 

I didn't like that they have tried to make the principal more sympathetic near the end of season one. That was my biggest problem with the American Office versus the British one, where David Brent was a huge scumbag but Michael Scott was more of a loveable doofus.

 

none of these shows are good

 

wait, did Parks age poorly?

 

Nah
