You're 24 and you watch Even Stevens and Kim Possible? *snicker* What makes those shows "good shows"? Why do yo enjoy watching them?

They're good because they're really funny. They're good just because they're really good shows. They're not retarded like Firefly. These shows make me happy and bring a smile to my face when I watch them. They bring me great joy and somehow I think that's a good thing. Maybe I just don't get it.

Before Firefly fans tempers flare, I’d just like to say a few things in regards to Adams post.
1.) Whatever shows float your boat, go ahead and watch. If it brings joy and no pain, go right ahead. I’ve loved a few movies in my times that people plainly hated.
2.) Adam, calling someone retarded for liking one type of show is unsubstantiated.
3.) Saying a show is good because it’s really good - not a valid reason. ( Personally, I don’t think people need reasons unless they plan to argue the point. )
4.) And I’m trying to remember what my fourth things was... Okay, maybe there wasn’t a fourth thing...Uh...Make love not war! That sounds good.

1 - Thank you.
2 - Although I'm not above calling the fans retards in this case I was refering to the show itself as being retarded
3 - Well I did say funny in both cases. It may be subjective but that's a quality of the show. You can't measure greatness imperically which is pretty much what this argument is going to boil down to. "I like it!" "I hate it!" yada yada...
4 - Good philosophy

Thank you Adam, it is a good philosophy. But here’s what I don’t get then- why are we even arguing? If it all boils down to “I like it!” and “I don’t like it!” why even argue? A persons own personal preference toward a certain show, or a distaste towards another show is a persons choice. At least in this case no harm is done either way so why does it matter? Its not like we are arguing over a persons preference or right to beat little bitty babies, we are simply talking about a show. It is strangely mind boggling at times. I am a die hard Firefly fan, and ultimate disliker or reality shows, but with all of the intelligent people on this site it seems like we should be arguing over ways to end world hunger or some such. (It would then be endworldhungerfans.net but you get my drift) This arguement is more interesting at the moment, but it seems useless.

I guess when I made this post I was just pissed off and tired of hearing about it and by now it's been so long I just don't really care anymore so let's all watch what we like and have a good time!

tee hee, flabby buttocks. Thank you for making me snort in laughter.

Between work, school, dance, life and dogs, I have four hours of TV I can enjoy. Firefly was a wonderful series and one of the few that could hold my attention and stir my imagination.

I'm holding out hope for the movie.

In America this process is called "democracy". When the vast majority of people in a locale want something done, it gets done!

Oh yeah, and just because you don't like something, it isn't neccesarily bad. My rule is never to say art/media is bad, or of low quality. It can be offensive, evil, or lowbrow, but never crappy or lousy.
