More often than now, he came across as a pretentious jerkoff more than anything else. Speaking for myself, I somewhat agree that he more often than not came across as a self-important, self-justifying, snotty bore which made his shows somewhat tough if not impossible to endure. I'd like to add that I disliked that he eagerly touted substance indulgences (after three generations and counting getting decimated by that mindset ?! Really? ) as well as needless profanity in the voiceover narrations ( I can accept someone getting caught up in the moment letting stuff spontaneously get spilled but deliberately putting stuff in that one knows WILL inevitably get bleeped out instead of making the effort to consider nonprofane terms for said narration is intentionally rude and obnoxious IMO). However, I will say that I've met more than one person who actually was willing to expand their culinary outlooks as well as their desires to travel outside their tiny world corners based on the late Mr. Bourdain's productions so that's something IMO that not even his glaring hashmarks can erase. And, all the above said, it's rather heartbreaking that he wasn't able find healthy means to cope with whatever demons he was dealing with and, especially that, his then-preteen daughter lost her father even with him and her mother having previously separated but hopefully the positive aspects of his legacy will help her give her strength to cope with what happened. 1 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4035-party-of-one-unpopular-tv-opinions/page/236/#findComment-6823655

Bastet June 19, 2021 Share June 19, 2021 What's frustrating is product placement doesn't have to be blatant and awkward. Major Crimes and Rizzoli & Isles were on TNT at the same time, and handled it very differently, so obviously there was no network mandate on how it had to be done. On MC, characters just sometimes ate/drank/used something that was clearly a real brand. Rusty was munching on Cheez-Its while watching TV, Sharon grabbed a can of Maxwell House to make coffee, etc. That was it - no mention of these things (not the brand, but not even drawing attention to the food/drink by one character saying to the other, "Have some, it's delicious"), no weird close-up to make sure we saw the logo, etc. It was just natural, and I find real brands used that way far less distracting than faux brands or "greeked" packaging. On R&I, though, the characters literally talked like they were in a commercial. Jane said her feet were killing her, so Maura whipped out a package of Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts and spent 30 seconds extolling its virtues. They wound up driving a Toyota SUV for some reason, and when they unloaded stuff from the back, they marveled at the space and features it provides (name-checking Toyota and listing said features). It was ridiculous, because people don't actually talk like that. So product placement like the MC scenario, I don't mind at all - except when the character is using a product that character would never actually use. (Like Sharon Raydor drinking Maxwell House - as if.) But in-show commercials like the R&I examples, those are the ones that drive me batty. If you're going to be blatant, you have to do it in a clever way that pokes fun at the very concept without pissing off the sponsor (and maybe that's what you're talking about with Chuck; I'm not familiar with that show). 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4035-party-of-one-unpopular-tv-opinions/page/236/#findComment-6848956

One is the way Chuck did it - be obnoxiously obvious and tweak it on the nose the entire time, knowing that your audience will get the joke and most won't mind. The other is the way Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles did it - They had a deal with Dodge (I think) so the characters drove a Dodge truck and there were a few sexy shots of it each episode, but only within the context of the scene - they're driving somewhere, they're talking next to the truck, they're loading up the truck with all their gear and look at all these amazing storage compartments!

When a friend of mine told me about it I initially balked. I'm not an Office super fan and the idea of a rewatch podcast seemed like an undertaking I wasn't up for. Fast forward a year or so later and I was bored so I gave it try. It's very insightful, in regards to both the show and the business in general, and Jenna and Angela are terrific hosts. They also get soundbites from cast members or guest stars for specific episodes. Or they just go off on tangents about random stuff that popped up in the epsidoe like Carvel Cakes and Fudgie the Whale. Now, do we need a The Office Ladies podcast? Certainly not.

Aww, he did a dorky dance—I DON’T CARE! He’s a terrorist who murdered a bunch of people just to break up the Avengers! If they weren’t going to use him as a Big Bad, he didn’t even need to be on the show at all. That's how I feel about Loki, most of the time. Aw, he gets all sad-faced because he thinks daddy didn't love him. I don't care, he still opened a portal for an alien army to attack New York, killing what must have been an absurd number of people. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4035-party-of-one-unpopular-tv-opinions/page/236/#findComment-6860328

I wanna see more of Sharon as the power broker because I think EVC is great at playing that type of character. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4035-party-of-one-unpopular-tv-opinions/page/236/#findComment-6860533

Emily Thorne at least had a justified reason for doing what she did: to get back at the people that framed her father. And there were some levels she couldn’t bring herself to stoop to, in order to keep her character remotely sympathetic. With Sharon, the MCU isn’t even trying to do that. I feel like the writers only decided to turn her full-blown evil because they ran out of ideas for the character (like the MCU even tried that hard to begin with, since they pretty much gave her role to Natasha/ScarJo because she was the bigger name🙄) and to justify the controversial Endgame finale of Steve fucking off to the past to snag Peggy (Sharon’s great aunt) for himself. And it’s a disservice to her character, just to turn her into a woman scorned when they didn’t develop her character as much as they should have. I HATE that character trope. I’d be fine with her being bitter and jaded at Steve, but to turn her into a crime lord? Thanks, I hate it. 54 minutes ago, festivus said: She'll finally be interesting, hopefully. They could have done that without making her the Power Broker, but maybe that’s another UO around here. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4035-party-of-one-unpopular-tv-opinions/page/236/#findComment-6860852

And I refuse to believe he didn’t go looking for her. The asshole writers just didn’t feel it was important to provide that because her character in the movies, was basically an extra. It was a disservice to the character. But I’m also not a fan of the actress-don’t think she can act. So I really don’t care how she feels. And think she’s a traitorous asshole.
