Sheen, "voluntarily enters rehab center"

[gh4chiefs]

Well I won't pretend like I haven't enjoyed the show during it's run because I have. Although you're not off the mark when you say the shows often have the "exact same plots" as the show hasn't changed much over the years.

It's sometimes funny, but after 6 shows with exactly the same plot I have seen enough and heard the same jokes enough.

As much as I loved "Frasier" (okay, I had warm fuzzies for Jane Leeves, whaddaya want?), they really suffered from this problem as well. It's virtually a TV series (especially sitcom) trope. I mean, how many times can the Crane brothers team up on something, competitively try to out-snob each other, fail miserably, learn from their mistake and vow never to do it again.... only to do it again five times each season?

To the detractors of any given sitcom especially, every episode looks the same: unfunny, monotonous, and therefore very irritating. I felt that way about Cheers and Friends, and I looked forward to the day when they would be canceled, just to spite the fans of those stupid shows.

Or, stupid I thought. You see, I was less mature then. As dumb as I thought they were, those shows were very popular, and they spoke to their fans in some language that I was not privy to.

I think a lot of people think Star Trek is monotonous and therefore irritating. It's interesting when the upper hand is on the other foot.

But even on Frasier the charaters grew, very slowly but they still grew. 2.5. No growth at all.

It's why I like Weeds, Reba, sports Night. The charters grew but still stayed the same.

Why would Fox pass on Conan and want Charlie Sheen for a late night spot?

I think you're making too much of it. It's just a matter of different strokes for different folks. We're all different, and we like different things. What you think is stupid, other people enjoy and vice versa.

To me, when you start calling somebody's show stupid, by default you're insulting the people who do enjoy that show. Perhaps not intentionally or with malice, but that's the gist of it.

Hmm. Your point?

 

[gh4chiefs]

My point is, I don't see the purpose of insulting people just because they like a different show than you do.

 

[bigdaddy]

Some shows are stupid.

People like stupid shows, doesn't mean they are stupid, many are, but not all.

You may be what you eat but you are not necessarily what you watch. I watch things that are admittedly crap but that doesn't make me stupid, just easily entertained.

Exactly. I like stupid shows. I like to escape to some mindless fun when I sit down to watch TV. I get enough serious stuff living my life and doing my job.

It's a good thing mental illness isn't communicable.

He just really missed the prison life, so he wanted to go back.

DETROIT - Charlie Sheen was heckled, booed and eventually abandoned by the crowd at his inaugural stage show, with many of the audience members chanting "refund" and heading for the exits even before the show abruptly ended.
Winning? Not on opening night.


The first stop on Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" 20-city variety show tour started Saturday night in Detroit with thunderous applause but ended 70 minutes later. In between, Sheen tried to appease his audience with rants, a rapper and a question and answer session, ultimately concluding the first show was "an experiment."

Ouch...

If you pay to see a drug addled, mentally ill person ramble on....you deserve to get taken.
