HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.

    The worst thing I can say about Jerry Seinfeld is that he appeals to the widest American audience.
    Like the Big Bang Theory.

    Wait, do Lemmites dislike TBBT, sometimes I forget this isn’t reddit. It feels more active every day for me it has surpassed reddit. Didn’t take long.

      I’m technically not on lemmy but I will enthusiastically throw my vote behind the TBBT-is-shit cause

      To be honest though it’s still just a shit TV show. There are plenty of those around. It’s not woth giving them much thought

      I particularly don’t find TBBT to be worse than the average show of its kind.

        Yeah, it’s a bit of a meme I just lean into.
        Psst, I actually like it, but don’t let anyone know.
        I’d be arrested and kicked off lemmy.

      I try not to think of TBBT, but just about any show with a laugh track isn’t actually funny.

      Did you know the British airing of MASH didn’t have a laugh track cause the brits find it weird and it was forced on the writers by the executives. A laugh track was almost forced on The Simpsons as well.

      I’d have a lot less of an issue with TBBT if people I know didn’t expect me to like it because I’m “a nerd” (I wear glasses and know how to use a computer). Also its just not very good.
