Mr. Charlie was talking about how majestic tigers are, so I posted a picture of a tiger chasing a chicken. There is literally nothing more to that post.

Isn't it a bit contradictory that we can review albums and songs, revealing all sort of details, praise, and/or critiques around here (without spoiler alerts) but yet drop a nutshell about a TV show and folks get up in arms?

I'm going to join a TV show forum just to see if people get pissed when members drop spoilers about music.

Well you can describe music in a very in depth manner and the reader would still have to listen to it to fully understand how it sounds because it's near impossible to place a melody in someone's head via description. With TV shows and stuff, you can simply say "Carl shoots his mother when blah blah blah" and it gets the message across very effectively.

Pretty much true. I can describe every solo and vocal and lyric in the new Iron Maiden album, but you're still going to have to listen to it to properly appreciate it. TV shows you just say what happens and you've ruined it for someone. It's like getting the football results before you watch "Match of the Day" (our American friends won't get that). You can't really spoiler an album: I mean, how can you?

I honestly just watch this show when I'm looking to lay down and relax. I actually find it quite funny, but I know a lot of people don't think this show is funny at all.

I loved that show with a passion. And I never really watched Cheers. But that was one of the cleverest comedies, certainly American comedies, of all time, imo.

LiL has watched almost the entire series of Cheers so she loves Frazier almost as much as I do. It certainly is clever as well.

Fargo is a pretty interesting show so far. I don't have any idea what the story is supposed to be (based on real life events) so I am just going to enjoy the ride.

Martin Freeman is great, and it's weird seeing him putting on that accent.

It's just a fake disclaimer.
The movie had it as well. While it was somewhat funny for the movie, it got a little annoying and gimmicky seeing it before every damn episode.
The series is alright though.

For sure. Definitely worthy of all of the awards it won.
