People ACTUALLY say that? Now don't get me wrong, I love "I Love Lucy", more so than I love Desperate Housewives, The Golden Girls, and Coupling. But I wouldn't call it THE GREATEST SHOW. One of, but not THE.
Anyway, some more things that aggrave and annoy me to no end...
The Lion King. I'm not trying to bash it or anything, but it was great when I first saw it, however to me it just doesn't age well and comes off as overrated, almost as if it were the snob of Disney Animated Classics.
Might open a can of worms here, but I really could not stand it back in my soap opera messageboard days when a lot of people would clamor together saying, "PUT A GAY CHARACTER ON THIS SOAP!" or "TURN THIS CHARACTER GAY!" While I understand that they want to be represented in the genre, most of them come off as, "I wanna see this person gay so he can get it on with this person...". It just irks me that they'd almost always start a thread about it like once a week.
Lifetime Television Network's schedule. Whatever happened to Intimate Portrait? And who cares about Casper Van Diem's marriage to Catherine Oxenberg? Or Lisa Rinna redoing someone's house? Or old ladies coming to clean up a messy home?
Reality TV is such a junkyard, and yet people call soaps a cesspool of half-naked bad actors and actresses.
I hate how AMC moved from American Movie Classics to whatever it is they are now. Back in the day, I was so glad to have AMC and TCM, now I'm just grateful TCM still shows movies in OAR.
Before I used to find Robert Osburn annoying, but now he's like Walt Disney, hosting the show before it comes on. So I can take him off my annoying list.
Commentaries on DVDs where the person talking would have long stretches of silence because he/she doesn't know what to talk about. Or they're just repeating what's seen on the screen (In probably a little less than half of the Bringing Up Baby commentary, Peter Bogdonavich is simply repeating lines saying, "A classic!" or "Here it is again!" or he'd just laugh and go "That was so funny")
People who throw popcorn at the screen in theaters.
People who get up and walk around every 5 minutes in theaters.
People who sit next to me in theaters. This is why I bring a jacket, so I can lay it on the seat next to me, as if I were saving it. And the other seat would have my hat.
