Party of One: Unpopular TV Opinions

[Browncoat]

But the ads will still run for weeks after the Super Bowl.  Why put them online early?

FWIW, I am also the person who hates to be spoiled for movies and TV shows.

YouTube then sells advertisers the time for ads during the ads that you want to see,

Puppy Bowl for the win!  Though I'll watch football, too, and think about how much my father enjoyed it.  And I'll root for the Eagles, which might be the unpopular opinion.

My family is huge football and Super Bowl fans with their Super Bowl snacks.  While they watch it I watch the Puppy Bowl with the Super Bowl snacks. I look forward to it every year. It's always so much fun and the puppies are so cute. And all are adopted. It's a win win for both of all of us.

Ah, football. 10 minutes of action crammed into 3 hours of television.

2 minutes of excitement in this game, it was all over by the end of the first quarter. And the half time show seemed to go on for ever as well.

Now, GET OFF MY LAWN !!!

I never liked Absolutely Fabulous and I feel weirdly guilty about it. It should be up my ally, but I always thought it was rather boring and unfunny.

There are specific episodes I have liked and a few scenes that had me in stitches but overall I agree with you.  The way Edina treats Saffy just isn't funny to me.

I could never understand what Eddie's editor?publisher? was saying. Magda was the character's name. I think. It's been a long time.

I live about an hour south of Philly, so while I don't care about the NFL, I was rooting for the Iggles.  And I was happy to see that they dominated the game, after all the talk about how hard it would be to beat the Chiefs.

There are a few moments which amused me: "Who is Jesus these days?  Charles Dance" and "LaCroix, baby spew, LaCroix, baby spew" but other than that, I never found the show funny.  I not only don't like AbFab - I actively hate it most of the time.

I am really good at deciphering thick accents, but Magda was a challenge for me.  Only because I love that show enough to re-watch many times do I know what she said -- I got a percentage each time until it finally came together at some point.  But now when it has been a few years since the last time I watched, I have to strain to listen again.

People who have been following it the whole season/seasons are interested in the outcome. People have parties every year, February can be a hard month and it is a chance to enjoy yourself and be with friends and family. 

I was invited to a party but felt cheated because there were no owls of any kind.

I enjoyed the show when it was new, but lost interest when my friends quoted it ad nauseum. I tried watching it fairly recently and I guess things have changed since the 1990's because I definitely didn't like it.

It's WELSH, people from Wales are WELSH, totally different meaning to welch. She's supposed to be a little strange because she's not from London, she could have been from Scotland or even Liverpool & the joke would have been the same.
