If you read the article, you’d know that the show was averaging less than 200,000 viewers. That isn’t even close to “popular”

Animal Kingdom has an obnoxious song and really tryhard visuals. Good show though.

It’s interesting you say that. I like season one of Community but IMO it’s a little generic while they’re still figuring the characters, its niche, and trying to court a mainstream audience. I’d say the strongest stretch starts a few episodes into season two and runs through the Glee parody episode. I never thought they were able to maintain the momentum they had before their first hiatus after that episode.

There’s even a new reboot of The Surreal Life airing on VH1 right now.

Family Guy’s storytelling is shit but you can be guaranteed at least one good laugh per episode.

The same can’t be said for The Simpsons.

It is, and I fall for it every time. I come back every season for a few episodes because of some Reddit comment and it’s still the flat, pretentious, and unfunny show it’s been for the past twenty years.

The adaptation of It to the Simpsons universe was clever and well-done, but I didn’t laugh at a single “joke” the entire episode.

This is a very popular prestige show with a lot of credibility that has swept the major awards of the last few years. I’m not sure it counts, despite the unlikable characters. Sopranos and Breaking Bad had characters that were hard to root for too.

Big fan of all those CNN original movies?

Lol, right? And Montclair too, of all places. I suppose visibility still matters, even when preaching to the choir.
