I think ontd got it right, I’ve been voting for Big Bang theory since the start

Re: Schitt's Creek, the obnoxious gifs and fans always kept me from watching it *shrug*

Yeah, I've never seen that show so I don't know if it's bad and I haven't voted for it, but I see a lot of those gifs and they are just never funny. I assume they must be at least somehow funnier in context though.

i found schitt's creek to be overrated. it's perfectly fine and i definitely didn't dislike it but i don't think it deserves all the fawning and admiration the internet has given it. i've seen people seriously call it the funniest and sweetest tv show and it fell way short of that mark for me.

70% of its audience barely knew it existed until like season 5. I don't get how it's overrated. Like sorry you hate that it's small audience like it?

Is it groundbreaking comedy? No. But it's a show without hate, where it's characters can be weird and different and annoying and who they are without judgment (except Roland). It's a show that had a small town not give two shits about a character being LGBTQ+. A coming out story with no judgement.

It infuriates me that it sits among shows that think rape is a valid storyline for every season and men are hilarious when they're assholes.

I'll gladly take it back to when it was just a sweet Canadian show that we could enjoy

I completely agree that Roland and bob are annoying and I don't see the point of them. The fact that Bob didn't know he could say 'Jewish' though is so perfectly small, white town ignorance. I know people who have literally said that. Still not okay, but too fucking real.

yes!!

I really don't understand why people think it's overrated. It is twee and very Canadian in its humor, but it's not overrated. I think the late praise was typical of any other show of its caliber had it not gone under the radar for so long. So amortized over six seasons it seems very reasonable. It isn't the best, but it's perfectly sweet especially during these times.

I was going to ask the same lol

[de_throned]

yeah Schitt's Creek is genuinely a nice feel good show that doesn't take itself too seriously while still spreading positive messages re: lgbt acceptance

how it would ever be considered overrated is beyond me

[3rdattemptuser]

It was better before about 2 years ago when EVERYONE jumped on the bandwagon (including myself lol)

White gays and women have ruined it.
