it's not that funny

[Tzar]

yeah, you're right, it wasn't that funny at all, it's actually quite a stupid and un-necessary post....like your face, cunt.

I watch shameless, and it is ok in a "odd soap-opera" kinda way. And I like the frequent young chick boobies and simulated sex.

[Jmoney77]

no

[ms.peachy]

I don't care for it. I know a lot of people like it and seem to think it's clever or funny or something, but I don't see it. I dunno. I think maybe I am too close to it, in that a lot of the kids I work with are from families like that, and their lives aren't jokes to me.

This series has been a bit weak but it was funny seeing Frank sober last week for the first time in 3 series.

I enjoy it even though I dispise scally's.

That's fine; you have your frame of reference for it and I have mine. If there's something in it that appeals to you and you enjoy it, so be it. I just personally don't find it entertaining.

Ms peachy is too good to laugh at people who act in stereotypical ways.


I only like the show when they do chavy things, otherwise it's a bit naff.

Oh no, not at all. I'm quite happy to laugh at the French, for example. Or Germans. Oh god the Germans, now they are funny.

I'm not saying no one can enjoy the show, or that it shouldn't be on television, or anything like that. I fully understand that if that is your environment, you need a sense of humour to get through it. But I think a lot of middle-class people do get a bit of a mean-spirited laugh out of it, and that just seems unkind to me. A lot of the kids I work with DO like the show, and I can see why, for them, because they can see something of themselves in the characters, and it gives their situation a bit of levity. But for me, because I already get to deal with the fallout of their having a parent in jail, or that has drug/alcohol problems, where the 13 year old is left essentially raising the 8 and 5 year old, it's just not what I'm going to choose to watch as entertainment at the end of the day.

i hate when my opinion is in direct opposition with someone else's when it comes to trivial shit like tv shows.


me and my mate almost got into a fist fight because i didn't think a certain song was good, while this song is one of his favourites and when i said i didn't like it, he saw it as an attack on his taste...

that's why you just gotta smile and nod.
