Yeah, blowback over quality doesn't result in Emmy nominations for Best Comedy

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Oct 11 '13, 13:31

for a show that's not a critical darling like BBT isn't. It's a modern-day Friends where it's a huge popular thing without much of the critical love.z

- That's reached levels of WTF for me. he's not even the best comedy actor on that show. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 13:33 9
  - are you kidding? the things that he has to memorise and then deliver with timing are astounding. -- nm - zork Oct 11, 13:40 8
    - I take memorizing lines as a given for actors. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 13:42 7
      - I think you're unjustly mixing your critiques of his character and his acting ability. -- nm - Ender Oct 11, 13:47 3
        
        Meh, he's still playing the character the same way as he was in 2008/2009. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 13:49 2
        
        ...because they keep writing the character the same way... -- nm - Ender Oct 11, 13:50 1
        
        Nah, the writing has moved him forward a lot in the last year plus imo. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 13:52
      - few actors have had to (or are able) to remember the things that he has to but I can't disagree with the IM - zork Oct 11, 13:46 2
        
        Your IM is ..... just wrong. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 13:48
        
        God no, that would be awful. They need to continue his and Amy's slowly growing physical relationship -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 13:47
- He is the best actor, but Sheldon drives me crazy most of the time -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 13:33
