Category Fraud 'The Bear' Keeps Catching Strays For Stealing The Spotlight From Real Comedies

Proud of Abbott Elementary for all of its Emmy nominations this year, especially Outstanding Comedy series as we are definitely a program where the majority of the running time of at least 6 episodes are primarily comedic, as defined by the TV Academy ☺️

I still haven’t watched the Bear, I do want to, but it is unfair that shows like Abbott Elementary have to compete with what basically sounds like a drama that occasionally has comedic elements (which you could say about most dramas-The White Lotus has comedic moments but it’s not a comedy).

I've caught moments while my boyfriend watches The Bear in the other room, and the only impression I have of it is that it's a show mainly about sad/angry yelling people. I haven't caught a moment of comedy.

tbf, the sad angry yelling often makes me laugh

I still haven't bothered watch any of the rest after the premiere felt like not just second-, but THIRD-SCREEN VIEWING it was ridiculous

I can't believe Claire is a legit character and not a brilliant (but overly drawn out) foil to Syd, who Carmy SHOULD be agonizing over things more WITH at least (platonic or not, tho preferably platonic now bc the writer clearly cannot write romance for shit and apparently Claire is just a self-insert of his wife irl??? wth) instead of Carmy agonizing over this IDEA of being with this childhood sweetheart who his brother and cousin shipped him with o_O

[bellwetherr]

carmy is just as much an addict as his brother tbh, it just manifests in different ways and i think claire is a big part of that

Reminds me of Barry kinda - the first season was funny, but it increasingly got very dark and surreal more than funny. Was it comedy because NoHo Hank was there?

[masterofmystery]

succession was way funnier than the bear has been so what does that say about them

[my_moloko]

Yeah, I mean there are parts that are hilarious but overall the show is pretty sad a lot of the time.
