Moonbeam City is rad and has nothing in common w Archer at all. The humor is more absurdist than quipysnarky who's on firstisms, which leads to tons of great gags, like an extended joke involving a menu comprised entirely of cop puns, and they go after the 80's aesthetic HARD. It's remarkably, well, pretty for a silly, kinda mean-spirited cop farce. The show reminds me more of Metalacolpyse than anything else, and a lot of the same guys made it. Check it out. Anyway, worst shows Sit Down, Shut Up Brickleberry According to Jim Allen Gregory Ridiculousness, or p much any "show" that revoles arriund regurgitating ancient yt clips. Street Sharks, a strong contender for most hideous cartoon ever. Just about any reality show or Hanna-Barbera thing Where My Dogs At? Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip The Parkers Chozen

"Street Sharks" is saved by the fact that it's a hilarious punchline to any joke.

Seinfeld finale is a case where the idea worked on paper a lot better than in practice. Maybe would have been better without the whole vacation plot they started with.

To be completely fair he leveraged that 90s movie site "fame" pretty well. I was shocked to see his gross face in The Faculty. Even Ebert only got the occasional cartoon role. That level of dubious status and work ethic means some sad lady will mistake him for the best she can do.

It was a great concept that devolves to masturbating over every catchphrase the show ever generated. You can argue that as such a trailblazing show some self-love was earned, but there's no denying it ended the show with more of a wet thud.

The problem was that it just wasnt funny enough. Despite being a lot more absurd the final season still had a lot of good episodes and some very funny moments.. then the finale just kind of rehashed characters without a lot of jokes.

The Seinfeld finale gets poo poo on so much that when I rewatched it a while back it actually seemed pretty good. Disregarding expectations, it is definitely below average, but I don't see how it even compares to Dexter, that was some next level poo poo.

I can confirm that Lost, BSG, and Heroes had great first seasons, but they all sucked in their 2nd+ seasons. Heroes ran out of ideas, BSG started over-relying on one idea and hosed everything else, and it was revealed Lost had no ideas to begin with which retroactively diminished the first season as well as explaining the stupidity of the other five.

BSG season 2 was really good IMHO. Season 3, where they spent the first third of the season on that planet they tried to colonize but then got found by the Cylons, was when the show started to suck.

As a Lost fan/apologist I can totally understand how people (who actually watched through the show and aren't just parroting the internet hate for it) would not like seasons 4-6, but I honestly can't see how you could say 1, 2, or 3 sucked unless that type of show just isn't for you. I mean season 2 had the hatch, man.

A meh boring ending that just kind of thumps to a close, or pure insane stupidity amplified to glorious "WHAT THE gently caress" levels? Seinfeld as a show may live on, but the decline of Dexter is legend that puts it in the top 5 most aggressively stupid shows at the very least.

Pinning down BSGs suck level is hard because the seasons fluctuate all over the place in quality. The "new caprica" episodes mostly sucked except the final rescue one which was amazing. Then the fourth season started sucking until they hit the mutiny arc which was awesome and then the ending episode was great until the final act then it went full hog into awful territory. She is like the crazy girlfriend who is amazing in bed but makes you regret life in every other way but you just keep going back!

I binge watched the show before season six, and then binged on six when it came out. I suppose the whole pull of the show is the experience after watching it; speculating with friends and online forums and so on. I thought the hatch was interesting but I honestly can't recall anything in that season outside of hatch-related things. Plus the show got ruined for me when I realized there was no point to it, and the writers were making poo poo up as they went along. It's fractal storytelling. You go deeper and you get more questions. It's founded on nothing.

You go deeper and you get more questions. It's founded on nothing. The "making it up as they went along" complaint (I don't think it needs to be a spoiler at this point) is not exactly true in that Lost was written just like any other show - by season. Each individual season of Lost has a clear arc with a beginning, middle, and end. There are too many circumstances in television production to write more than one season at a time. Yes, mutli-season arcs are worked towards, but the arc has to be vague enough to be adaptable to constant change.. Even Breaking Bad, which is generally agreed on as having a near perfect story arc, was written without really knowing where the next season would take it. But Breaking Bad had an advantage in that at as long as Walt progressively became a more terrible person, then the show was still going in the right direction. The biggest problem with Lost, aside from too much filler, was that they were just throwing too much out there and not always closely examining what they had already done and established, which was something Breaking Bad excelled at - thinking backward and forward rather than just forward. So you get instances where something is totally different than what was originally implied, like how The Others were implied to be supernatural natives in seasons 1 and 2, but later they are mostly recruited, regular people. However, I feel this also works favorably for the show because keeping you guessing and speculating was a lot of the point. For some people, the guessing and speculating is fun, others hate it and therefore Lost is not a show for them. Really, and I know I'm repeating Damon/Carlton rhetoric here, if there's one thing that Lost got extremely right, and why it all 'works" in spite of its flaws, is the characters, which were more endearing and fleshed out than most ensemble shows. Every show that tried to copy the Lost format failed because the characters were just boring, uninteresting setpieces. Since we're talking about Heroes - I've watched the first two seasons and will not watch any more - can you describe traits of the main cast without stating their superpower? Maybe for the cheerleader and asian guy... but the rest? I have no clue.

The political infighting and such made BSG season 2 really good. On the other hand, seasons 3 and 4 almost completely sucked, with all the stupid Final Five stuff, whoops turns out the actual Battlestar Galactica was a huge piece of poo poo that they cut corners on during construction but somehow no one found out until Just Now, Baltar's trial and then him becoming Space Jesus, Starbuck being an angel, etc.

JediTalentAgent posted:Yeah. I still feel that given so many other themes of the season, the aliens was one step too far and just simply making them some sort of supernatural divine beings akin to angels or something could have done the same thing. Of course, that is because part of me is still thinking alien abduction as an AHS season set in the 70s/80s could work pretty well in a time when ET, Star Wars and Close Encounters were big. That wouldn't be bad then the theme would be consistent at least. The only way the aliens thing would have worked is if they'd been some eldritch horror type of thing that drove people to madness instead of grays. That was the worst part they were loving grays of all things.

What was the season of LOST where they had an established core cast of characters and then PORTUGUESE COUPLE OUT OF loving NOWHERE LIKE WE WERE BEST BUDS FOR YEARS? Because the fan backlash was so astoundingly huge that they rewrote the season and killed both of them off halfway through, and that was just hilarious.

Killing off House would have been too predictable, killing off Wilson would have been depressing. It wrapped up most of the story arcs. The show had been dying for quite a while. It needed House to literally ride off into the sunset. I'd nominate Gossip Girl as worst finale ever. After many seasons of decline, they outed one of the main characters as the Gossip Girl and it made zero loving sense. There were many tumblrs set up just to point out all the plot holes.

Prison Break was actually watchable and somewhat interesting for a couple of seasons, then it got to the point where there was a double cross every 12 seconds and the actors seemed to want to prison break through the 4th wall to let you know they understood how ridiculous it had become. And it's coming back.
