I don't know how I could have made that post you quoted any less subjective. Look at my phrasing there: "...isn't my thing. I don't think..." That's two phrases back-to-back that refute your claim that I think my takes are Gospel. It seems like a bad post to make that claim against. I've got dozens of other posts that would make more sense to quote if you're going to lob that one out at me.
If there were a seventh comedy nominated then I would have chosen
The Office. I don't feel that last season for that show (or the one before it, or the one before it) was among the strongest comedies on the air. The show seems like a parody of itself most times and it relies too heavily on the fondness that the show's audience has for all of its characters. Still, I watched every episode of last season and would choose it ten times out of ten over
The Big Bang Theory.

The show in particular. I hate the writing and I've never laughed during an episode. I've seriously never found a single joke to be funny the few times I've watched it.And while I do find the old "studio audience" "line-line-laugh, line-line-laugh, line-line-big laugh" setup that CBS still uses to be very stale at this point, I enjoy
How I Met Your Mother.
