I rarely watch television. When I do though, some shows I like are Myth Busters and the weather. Lately, I've been catching this sitcom called "Scrubs". What do you think of it? I think it's really witty and clever. Probably I could start watching sitcoms if all of them were like this. |

He looks like he's supposed to be really fat but isn't. |

Very unflattering picture, for sure. :D |

Do you still have dreadlocks? God I hope so. |

I don't much like it and I really can't stand that guy, or that shitty film he made which so many people seemed to think was amazing. |

I don't like the show or that dude, but I think I liked Garden State. |

it's vile abhorent shite. |

It's "cool" to hate it, but i actually think it's pretty good. Maybe because i connect it to this chick that i know, who loves it. |
||||||||
|

i hate the fast editting, like if any of the cast breathe the viewer might lose their attention. |

Go watch some Aki Kaurismäki then. |

I was not implying that he's bad with saying that, in any way. I adore him! |

I like it, its sort of like spin city, its corny I suppose but its funny and I like sara chalke |
||||||||

Fuck that shit - saying "oh it's 'cool' to hate" so-and-so is a totally disingenuous and manipulative response, as if the people who dislike are being that way only to garner attention and be 'controversial'. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

yeah but it helps towards people making up their minds too soon |
||||||||

What does? |

i really REALLY hate it. |

I actually agree with you to some extent, but i really just see a lot of scrubs bashing, and i don't get it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you agree with me, why dont you just say you hate it like you should have instead of defending it? i mean whats the point here? why are you questioning reasons to hate a show that you yourself hate to some extent? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe because what some people find endearing or amusing, others find contrived and irritating? I'm sure there are many things I like which others don't (Bill Murray, Jazz, Pavement, Classical Music to name just a smattering of my likes which have been deeply questioned recently). That's life, and it's good as long as one group doesn't force their own likes & dislikes onto other groups, ie become Republicans ho ho ho. |

I don't hate it at all. I agree with marlowes point, that it was wrong of me to defend it, by saying that it's "cool to hate it". I like scrubs. It has some great characters. It's sort of chick flicky i admit, but it's brilliant watching curled up with my best girl in the sofa... ah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You're right... Although i like Bill Murray as well. I would say i agree with what you say actually, but still.... Theres still this thing, when people discuss culture. It's like, when someone discovers something a little different, they suddenly hate everything "mainstream". Fuck, if it's good, it's good. Fuck mainstream, as in that endless load of MTV crap. But quit hating stuff, just because it's popular. That's my 2 cents, and when i say stuff like that, i sometimes hit people like you, who obviously made up your OWN damn mind, instead of someone, who essentially did the MTV thing over again, and succumbed to a new "correct" indie taste, if you get my drift. |
||||||||

I understand what you mean - I've met plenty of people who hate something based on popularity rather than actual worth. I've also been lumped into that category so many times, especially by my daughter's mother, who regularly infuriates me because I don't like the shit music she does (Fallout Boy, Panic At The Disco, The Killers etc), and claims it's because I hate anything mainstream. At which point I call her soulless cunt and either tell her to get the fuck out, or hang up the phone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can honestly say i hate around 90 percent of what is considered mainstream - am i in the category where i hate things when they become popular? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just kidding... I don't give a flying fuck really. I regret posting this, it's been discussed endlessly. I'm getting a beer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fucking damn it! why do people keep on insisting thats a bad thing? am i missing out on all the scrubs fun? i don't know, is there a magic thing i dont get about all this? i mean, the funny thing is that around 90 percent of the time im being called a narrowed minded cunt in consideration to music, its by some random guy who accidently listens to rock music and likes a few electronic tracks. most of the time i know around 80 percent of the bands he know plus lets say roughly 5000 more that he doesnt. im sure im not alone in this situation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you think that, in principle, you would always have just as much affinity for something whether it was mainstream or not? I think the way I'm introduced to something has an effect on my final judgement, which is stupid but it happens. And there are people who like underground stuff just for the sake of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It might be a good thing, i don't know. I think therse a lot of creativity and inspiration in hate, and letting some steam of on stuff that you despise. Hate can be catharsis. |

The only things (I can think of) which will negatively affect my enjoyment of a particular musician/band outwith the music itself is: a) if it is used in an advertisement b) I read/hear/watch an interview/piece on them and they come across as pricks, self-worshippers, pretentiously self-important or otherwise disagreeable characters. Apart from that, it's the merit (or lack of) of the music itself upon which I base my opinion. |

both a and b would mean that you dislike aphex twin. |

scrubs, like the mighty boosh, seems like one of those comedy things made by people who arent really funny. |

Scrubs has an occasional decent moment, but I rather dislike the show. I can't stand when it gets all sentimental on me. That stupid Elliot always gets offended at something every episode. That stupid black doctor and his girlfriend always get into some small dispute that I couldn't care less about (one time she ate one of his fries -or crisps to you brits- and this caused them to not speak to eachother for the whole episode). Then there is always this montage scene towards the end set to emotional crappy punk music. J.D. holding that needy bitch Elliot. The black doctor and his girlfriend looking at each other in the eye, after making up. Dr. Cox looking through the glass at a terminally ill child. Just keep the sentiment out of comedy please. That's why Seinfeld is a winner. |

fries aren't crisps, that glaring error soiled your whole post |

I hate it with a passion. That guy pisses me off beyond belief, just even the fucking cut of him. and "witty and clever"? Fucking hell, come on. Oscar Wilde was witty and clever. Brass Eye was witty and clever. This is pure fucking trash. |

Believe me, when I first joined aphextwin.nu, I thought Aphex Twin was the messiah of music. I had been a huge fan since about 1993 and one of my finest drug moments was listening to the SAWII double-album in the dark whilst mashed on mary-jane. But, that sell-out cunt has left me disillusioned & jaded. I mean, Bank of America! (BOA like the constrictor as Robert Anton Wilson once noted). No excuses. I think I've listened to about 3 of his tracks in the past two years. |

Would you turn that kind of money down? I could live with internet geeks calling me a sellout, if i didn't have to work for the rest of my life. |
||||||||

I've been asked that question quite recently here: the answer, as then & always, is yes, I would refuse. I have principles. It's not the internet "geeks" you answer to, it's your conscience. I'm afraid I was born in an earlier age, when money wasn't the prime (and for some, sole,) reason for living. It's a shame that we are living in an age when money & consumerism are the twin Idols of Society, but I suppose degradation is one of the key indicators of a society on the decline & on the way to extinction, which, I believe, we are. |

I was kinda on the fence with Scrubs recently but since redrum hates it so much I proclaim it to be the pinnacle of comedy television |
