papa_november Why can't it be "doctor who is rubbish NOW?"
That wouldn't really be a debate though.
dueserpenti Why don't we have shows like this in Ammurrica?
Rovin Because they're more interesting in SELLING you on the notion that you should SEE the show, not actually CRITICIZING it.
fluffy Well, we do have Lewis Black's "Root of All Evil" which is a similar concept.
allcaps Because the concept is pretty poor, really. A bunch of comedians madly "riffing" on things no one, least of all them, really care about. Black's show is crap too. This was a 1 star video, until the last minute.
phalsebob British TV is differentiated from American TV in that when someone starts getting emotional they are told "Oh lets not get out of hand here."
Meerkat Dr. Who *is* rubbish. THAT'S THE POINT. It is wonderful, wonderful Rubbish. It is thoroughly enjoyable Rubbish.
Desidiosus Of course it's rubbish. But the rubbish now is not as enjoyable as the rubbish when I was a kid. You younger people missed out on the age of truly golden rubbish.
fluffy I'm pretty sure that the Bible had a little more than that in the story.
+5 for British debates being people who actually take turns. Even when it's not a real debate.
