Kylie Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 It's hilarious. I haven't watched the past couple seasons, but I loved the early ones. Abed is one of my favorite TV characters all-time. Some people didn't enjoy the past couple of seasons (I did, though), but I think the most recent season has been particularly good. The season finale in particular was awesome. I really hope it gets renewed for another season! I've just recently started watching The Good Wife from the beginning. Before that I had watched it on and off. I love it now! Me too! What a coincidence. I'd seen a few episodes here and there and enjoyed them, but I couldn't work out the overall storyline (like, her husband always seemed to be campaigning—I always thought it was for one thing, but now I realise there were different campaigns). Late last year I finally sat down and binge-watched all of the seasons until I was up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped because people told me it wasn't good, so I just figured it wasn't going to be worth my time anymore. Yeah I was the same way. And I was always confused about who was cheating on who and I had seen reruns combined with current ones so I was confused with what happened to her job. It was a mess. I just decided to watch from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I said, it gets even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of two shows my parents didn't allow me to watch when I was young. The other was 'Three's Company.' The humor was apparently too adult for my young ears...

mirandashell Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Soap was sheer genius at the time cos there had never been anything like it. And some of what it did was extremely brave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 P.P.S. Frankie, I haven't heard 'Soap' mentioned in years! That was one of two shows my parents didn't allow me to watch when I was young. The other was 'Three's Company.' The humor was apparently too adult for my young ears... How old were you when it was on TV and it was DENIED from you? I think it was sometime during the 90's that I watched it on TV: it was a re-run of course. Mom told me that she used to watch it when it first aired. The show was hilarious I used to tape the episodes and I would watch them over and over again... I really miss my VHS tapes Some day I'm going to buy the DVDs!! So have you ever watched the show, later in life when you got older? Were your parents fans of the show? Soap was sheer genius at the time cos there had never been anything like it. And some of what it did was extremely brave. Yep, it was quite out there... On a whole other level! I used to have such a huge crush on Jodie And the first time I saw Billy Crystal play someone else, I felt so mad and cheated! He was the embodiment of Jodie and my teenage self wasn't having any of his other roles I still haven't forgiven him and I try to avoid anything that includes Billy Crystal. Confused? You won't be, after this episode of... SOAP! Tittidi-ti-di-tidididi.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have you ever watched the show, later in life when you got older? Were your parents fans of the show? Well, I was only about 5 when it started airing so I must've attempted to watch reruns later on when I was 13 or 14 but the parents vetoed that idea. They were from an older generation and I think that once the other 4 kids moved out they had more time to monitor what I was doing! I haven't watched it since but I should try and hunt some episodes down on YouTube or something. I seemed to remember my folks watching a lot of M*A*S*H, All in the Family, Good Times and Johnny Carson. And it's funny because now, my mom will watch anything and she's almost 80! She loves the Sopranos and watches True Blood and Game of Thrones with me. I think my dad would have just shaken his head at me if he were still alive, ha! I haven't seen a lot of Billy Crystal movies, but I loved him in Princess Bride . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
