On the other place I constantly saw memes of shows that I thought ‘well if they’re that popular they must be pretty good’

Shows like:

Avatar, The Office, Parks and Rec and IT Crowd

I’ve watched them and I just don’t get it. They aren’t so amazing that they are worth that level of adoration IMO. Avatar has its good spots and Parks and Rec is pretty enjoyable but I cringe at American office and IT crowd is forgettable.

However a show I actually really like, Community, only started getting the same type of treatment after the pandemic because people watched it on Netflix. Although it’s still not as popular as these others. Are people just really basic or am I out of touch?

Anyway, what show did you watch and think ‘I don’t get what the fuss is about’? Maybe it was Community?

        The movies definitely qualify more than the cartoon imo, very underwhelming. At least the show was a unique story.

          It definitely was a great theatre experience when it came out as it was revolutionary but didn’t age well as visuals was the only thing that made it popular.

      Avatar: The Last Airbender.

      I also watched The Legend of Korra, which was also ok but not as good as the first show.

        Avatar is generally better if you watch it as a kid and come back to it. Can’t say the same for Korra as I’ve never watched it tho

          I watched both as an adult. ATLA: solid show but overhyped.

          Korra was distinctly average and I get the feeling most fans love it because they wish ATLA had more seasons.

          TLA set the bar and Korra cant come close to that tbh. Korra is a good show but not as good as TLA.
