Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I liked Big Bang Theory
The real controversial thing would be:
"I like Caillou. It's the only cartoon I allow my kids to watch."
Every time I got exposed to Caillou, while changing channels back in the day, i died a little bit inside.
I mean, a whole team worked on that, it was greenlit and aired. Wtf?
Same. It had some genuinely funny moments, although it usually got more chuckles out of me than hard laughs.
I put big bang theory on in the background while I clean my apartment. Its just background noise that I don't have to pay attention to, or think about.
I will say though, that everyone treats sheldon as the bad guy. He's not. He clearly has a mental disorder. I don't know which one. Maybe autism? But he clearly likes routine, firmiliar environments and change scares him. He doesn't want to let you into his life,but once you're in, he does genuinely care about you. Although he does have some problematic views on women.
Leonard is the asshole. He KNOWS sheldons personality, he KNOWS there's a good person inside, under a layer of mental disorder, but he still treats situations as if sheldon is a problem.
Early seasons Howard is also an asshole. And often times a racist asshole. Even the actor agreed at some panel. The mellowed him out a bit after he hooked up with Bernadette.
And Raj is clearly either gay or bi......and they never address it ever. They make fun of him for not being a manly man, but he's clearly mostly gay.
The character I like the most is Zach. He's just this side character, and he's supposed to be super dumb, but he's loyal as hell. He goes on the roof to watch the lazor bounce off the moon. He doesn't understand it, but he's excited to do it. And he dresses up as superman and even offers to beat up 5 guys with possible guns, but the group sees that as a bad idea. Still though, he was ready to defend them. I'd rather be friends with Zach than Lenard.
I liked the early stuff quite a lot, but it definitely jumped the shark eventually imo. Thought it was supremely unfunny after that and I swiflty dropped the series.
I liked Dads (2013).
Did people legitimately not like that show? I kind of liked it.
Given the fact that I found it from the Wikipedia page List of sitcoms known for negative reception, Im going to say "yes."
I loved it when I watched it in bed with a head cold earlier this year. It's just so stupid to be hilarious.
Yikes lol. Oh well, I wasn’t heavily invested in it but I found some parts funny.
I never heard anyone say anything about it one way or the other so I just assumed it didn’t get enough attention to continue with more seasons.
I thought the finale was really cool.
