12 seasons too many, if you ask me.

A thousand years from now, a dim-witted human barbarian will climb to the top of a pile of bones, sit down and proclaim: "I win"."

I gotta admit, its nice to find someone who agrees with my point of view about this show..

I've never been able to get past the laugh-tracks over the first 2 unfunny minutes, to get anywhere beyond the rest of the show.

TOTAL FAIL in my ridiculous minor opinion.

Sure glad to know there as at least someone who is at least close to my side of the camp. Its a popular show...not in this house.

I'll start by saying "to each, their own."

Personally, I've enjoyed the show. Didn't start watching until they were in S7 and I was seeing it in syndication on TBS. Liked what I saw and bought a S1-S6 blu-ray combo pack and binged all six seasons in about two weeks. On the blu-ray, they answer the canned laughter question:

It did (does) tend to get a bit monotonous (too much Sheldon for my taste), but I've enjoyed it over the past five years and it usually makes me laugh out loud at least once, each ep. But that's just me, I guess. Twelve seasons is probably two more than they should have done (ten was plenty), but I guess it's hard to sh!t-can a #1 show.

I like Big Bang all right and all, but it's not as funny to me as some sitcoms that came before it. I understand the whole "I don't get why this is so popular " thing though. I feel that way about Modern Family. It's just not funny to me. I wanted to like it cause I love Ed O'Neill, but I just barely got a small chuckle out of the episodes I did watch. Also, If I recall correctly, they were constantly talking to the camera (or appeared to be). I do not like it when shows do this. It worked in the Ferris movie and the movie Kuffs, but for a weekly TV show, it bugs me. Just like narrations on shows bugs me except for a select few:MacGyver (new one at least, can't remember if original did this), Burn Notice and Invisible Man (although admittedly this one may be due to how sexy I find Vincent Ventresca's voice lol) to name a few.

Please forgive any typos as its 2am.

Jemma Simmons: I will say that is one thing that Agatha All Along got right. They did a phenomenal job of planting hints throughout but it not really being obvious until the end. Reminded me of WandaVision that way. Nov 10, 2024 23:03:26 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yes, I think AoS did such a fantastic job at character/world building. I know that was one of the complaints about Season 1. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: That they took too long to introduce stuff... but honestly the slow build was the payoff. Nov 10, 2024 23:04:51 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I wish they'd managed to throw in some Avengers cameos along the way. You know, to keep audience numbers high until the story really took off.

Nov 10, 2024 23:07:44 GMT

ayanami: Idk, Ironman flying alongside the Bus. Stuff like that.

Nov 10, 2024 23:08:50 GMT

Jemma Simmons: LOL that would have been awesome! I got the idea they might like to do that, but I suspect the main actors were too expensive. Although we did get Fury a few times. And the occasional Maria Hill. Nov 10, 2024 23:09:58 GMT

ayanami: Also, should have scrapped and re-done episode 2 from scratch. Not a horrible episode all together, but what a slow, low-budget let-down from the pilot and the general MCU world in general. I bet the ratings drop between eps 2 and 3 was massive! Nov 10, 2024 23:11:30 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh I'm sure you're right! Nov 10, 2024 23:12:00 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, Fury was great! Plus, he was really necessary to tie the story together in S1. Nov 10, 2024 23:12:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I think the other issue with the first couple seasons as far as pacing had to do with them tying in the show to the movies and not being able to address the movie on the show until the movie was released. Nov 10, 2024 23:13:19 GMT

Jemma Simmons: And yeah, Fury was great! His appearances never felt forced either. Like you said, he was necessary to the plot and it fit that he was there. Nov 10, 2024 23:14:22 GMT

ayanami: True. But low-budget eps right at the start of the show, special effects stolen right out of Firefly and cringy humour certainly didn't help their case, either.

Nov 10, 2024 23:14:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Ha, no. But every show has to find its footing that first season. Nov 10, 2024 23:15:47 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I just keep wondering if we might ever see any AoS characters on What If? Nov 10, 2024 23:16:11 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I mean that would be really easy to bring them in on. I can't see doing the voice work taking long. Nov 10, 2024 23:16:27 GMT

ayanami: That would be very cool. I'd love to see that! Nov 10, 2024 23:18:49 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Me too! Have to wonder how many of the cast at this point would be willing to do it. It would be neat to see them though! Nov 10, 2024 23:20:22 GMT

ayanami: Alrighty then, since it's getting late over here, I think I'm gonna peace off now. I hope you have a great week ahead of you, until next Sunday! See you around, bosslady!

Nov 10, 2024 23:20:27 GMT

Jemma Simmons: You have a good week too! See you next week! Nov 10, 2024 23:21:21 GMT

ayanami: I would hope everyone. I mean, it's a paycheck and voice work should not be that hard to fit into their usual schedules. Nov 10, 2024 23:22:08 GMT
