I love 30 Rock but low-key I gotta go Ed, Edd n Eddy as it's one of my top 5 childhood shows

 

[Keith]

30 Rock will always be a big fave of my. Legit feel it maybe one of the best comedy shows ever and needs more love.

respectfully never got any of the hype for EEE but I think it was popular after my time. 30 Rock is really under-rated on this board it's weird. maybe too highbrow for some idk

Are you basing it being underrated just on the voting here or previous discussions? I imagine most that have seen it, like it. I love it personally. But voted for Ed, Edd n Eddy just for sentimental reasons. I kinda like that this is tied up right now.

Nah it was similarly dismissed in another contest. I think there's a few amount if ppl who have either not watched or have preconceptions. Or maybe simply dislike Alec Baldwin. It's always shocking ig as to me it's one of the best comedies I've ever seen n was very consistent.

As I said i do get the nostalgia w EEE but can't relate as it was after my window of liking these kinds of shows. It's interesting

Okay in that case, fair enough. Yeah, I can see some people dismissing it just on the cast and maybe also the fact that it's usually classed with shows like The Office and Parks and Rec, even though it's a very different type of show in reality. Ah well.

that is a good point about the timeline. I also think that just the cast and presentation make it look like a "thinking mans" comedy but it's not at all. I was being facetious when I called high brow, because the only thing highbrow is the location, they are all absolute dirtbags

All I can say it I hope some more people give it a shot because it's a damn solid series with some very funny people. I mean just Jenna is insane

[Hoss]

Crazy upset

 

[Chris]

I voted 30 Rock but I'm not mad. Ed, Edd n Eddy was def one of my favorite childhood shows. I remember it being one my mom particularly disliked that I enjoyed lmao

Ed Edd and Eddy is goated and still holds up really well on rewatches.
