Title: Some Battles Are Beyond Good, Beyond Evil, Beyond Your Wildest Imagination
Post by: Prydania on February 17, 2008, 12:23:10 AM: (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/IC79/friends.jpg) vs (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/IC79/041115_seinfeld_vmed_1pv2.jpg)
There can be only one.

I vote Seinfeld. Best comedy show ever, IMO.

Family Guy FTW baby!

Post by: Myroria on February 18, 2008, 04:24:38 AM: Yes, I suppose not all comedy shows can exceed the hilarity of a fat man and his talking dog.

Though I suppose I'm being mean comparing Family Guy to Friends. It's like comparing...Bara's grammar to Delfos'. Delfos' is better, but neither is the kind of grammar I'd trust in my English Honors final. Family Guy is good for a laugh, as opposed to Friends, which is good for skipping over.

agreed.

Post by: Eientei on February 18, 2008, 05:21:24 PM: Venture Bros. would beat the hell out of any other show. Not only do you have Brock Samson, but the combined forces of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Klaus Nomi. No one can defeat that.

Post by: Allama on February 18, 2008, 05:38:30 PM: I liked Seinfeld quite a bit when it was still running, though I concur that Venture Bros. is superior.
Title: Re: Some Battles Are Beyond Good, Beyond Evil, Beyond Your Wildest Imagination
Post by: Eientei on February 18, 2008, 06:02:24 PM: For some reason, I was thinking a literal battle. Which you have to admit would be interesting. Still, Venture Bros. wins out by a long shot, though I also don't hate Seinfeld.

Post by: Xyrael on February 18, 2008, 06:41:39 PM: I don't know what we're talking about, it looks like a critique! Well, Seinfeld's people are too realistic for TV, I mean cmon fat short man and tall gangly guy with bad hair? REALISM ISN'T FOR TV, didn't you watch survivor and learn??? Then again, all the characters on friends keep having sex with and sleeping with the people within their small circle of friends. It's like a MTV reality show, only less high school-ish more married/whipped.

Love both of these shows.

There are two of us heathen's then...I'm with ya, SD. Seinfeld just isn't that funny.

Post by: Prydania on March 17, 2008, 02:55:01 AM: Well speaking seriously for a moment (but only a moment damnit!), I respectfully disagree. The show was not only hilarious, IMO, it also revolutionized sitcoms as we know them.
Ok, serious moment over.

Admittedly, I did not watch Seinfeld in its prime, but I have seen it in syndication. As far as I know, most sitcoms still try to have a...oh, I don't know...plot/season arc.

Post by: Allama on March 20, 2008, 02:59:08 PM: I suppose it's all a matter of preference, really. There are those who enjoy slice-of-life style stories and those who can't stop yearning for an overall plot to tie everything together. Personally, I think Seinfeld was brilliant, but I also like to read things like Yotuba&! so you can see where my tastes lie.
