In Reply to: RE: We saw around 12 seconds of it. posted by grantv on September 30, 2013 at 13:56:51
Yeah, okay I can see why you'd only watch 12 seconds of it before tuning out.
But then again, the same would be said of ANY television series finale if you'd never seen a minute of the preceding five years worth of episodes.
So my question to you is: Why did you even bother to turn it on, knowing that you'd know absolutely nothing about the show, the characters or the plot? Seems odd that you'd turn it on in the first place.
(And to give it a rating of 0 out of 10 seems even more odd since you have nothing to base it on other than the aforementioned 12 seconds that you watched it.)
Follow Ups:
Obviously the smiley face didn't get your attention. Wife was flipping, she had it on there for a few seconds and turned it. But in all honesty I don't get/like many/most of the off-the-wall shows nowadays (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc.).
I just thought it was funny that you turned it on for 12 seconds and then turned it off. (You originally did not mention that you, (or your wife in this case), was merely channel surfing.) I thought you had heard about it, (it was pretty widely hyped, for better or for worse), and that you thought you'd turn it on to see what all the fuss was about, but only watched 12 seconds of it before moving on.
And yeah, I am not too much into TV series either, (in fact this is the first non-SF drama series I've watched in a long time). My wife, on the other hand, watches all the drama TV shows in the family. I prefer situation comedies, like Big Bang Theory. Although I did like Monk a lot, but that show blurred the line between drama and comedy, IMHO.)
Actually that was pretty much what my wife did. She wasn't flipping so much as killing a commercial break when I was away answering an email. I came back into the room "what's this?" "Breaking Bad, was wondering what all the fuss was about, this is the final episode" and then she flipped it back to whatever we were watching.
I've never heard of Monk, strange. BBT hasn't caught my attention. But then I'll admit we tend to watch mostly reality shows (Survivor, Amazing Race, and such, NOT shows such as Jersey Shore or the like), Seinfeld re-runs, HGTV, real crime shows (Murder Mysteries etc.)...
Really? Monk is (was) one of my favorite shows.
It stars Tony Shalaub as "the defective detective", (as he is affectionitely called). He has many phobias, such as heights, germs, dirt, milk. (Yes, I said milk.) ;-)
Anyway, he is very similar to Sherlock Holmes in as that he can solve crimes that baffle the police. But he is so emotionally damaged, (he lost his wife in a car bombing), that he needs an assistant, (nearly a nurse), to help him out. He, (and his family) is similar to Robert Crumb and his family, (which if you saw the movie "Crumb", means lots of weird situations).
Highly recommended.
As far as reality shows, I've only ever watched one, (King of the Nerds), which was okay, but I doubt I will watch the next season. My wife has watched a few, but they just don't interest me in the slightest.
You may be able to get full 2 out of 10 out of him!
Waterboarding works well too.
