<p>I loved Rear Window too. Great film.</p>
<p>I didn’t get the Broadway musical “Rent”. Yuch. I spent most of the show wishing I’d brought a book. My kids loved it though.</p>
<p>Re: Rent-- me neither! My older daughter loves it. I’ll take an oldie like Oklahoma, the Pajama Game, or Candide.</p>
<p>Prefect mentioned olive loaf. I’d eat a pound of that before I’d get near head cheese.</p>
<p>What the heck is that stuff?</p>
<p>I never got Benny Hill. And if there are a few hours of my life I could get back, I’d like the fifteen-plus I spent one evening at “Les Mis”. In the nosebleed seats. With cramps.</p>
<p>does anybody here get “Mr. Bean?” I have a hard time with a lot of English humor…</p>
<p>I love Mr. Bean! What’s not to get? Half the time there’s no speaking.</p>
<p>Weenie: “Clark, I don’t want to spend xmas vacation…dead.”</p>
<p>Got the 3 stooges til I was about 7 yrs. old then the magic folded.
H has a 3 stooges picture above his pool table. Gift from equally challenged son. Fitting. “Apple falling…” and all that.</p>
<p>Do not get “paying” for radio stations. This is how cable TV started. “Oh, you pay because there are no commercials”…well, that was short lived. Ugh.</p>
<p>Do not get Mr. Bean .</p>
<p>Jim Carey replacing Bob Barker on The Price Is Right! Not sure I will get this, lol. :)</p>
<p>Okay, I stand corrected by ABC News, not Jim Carey, but Drew Carey. I still may not “get” this, lol. ;)</p>
<p>That would be Drew Carey, not Jim Carrey. Vaguely understandable if you have seen him on “Whose line is it”, but not at all if you have ever seen his very raunchy and very funny live stand-up shows. Similarly Bob Saget, who was such a dork on TV and out-of-control rude/crude/funny in “The Aristocrats”.</p>
<p>Don’t really get reality TV, but love sit coms like curb your enthusiasum, everybody loves raymond, and really miss seinfeld.</p>
<p>Agree- Eyes wide shut! Blah!!</p>
<p>I don’t get American Idol, Survivor, or any other such show. Who really cares what Paula Abdul or Simon think about milquetoast lounge singers doing covers of formulaic pop songs?</p>
<p>I absolutely don’t get Complete Makeover Home Edition or whatever the heck it’s called. Ty Pennington makes me wants to puke as does the blonde designated cryer. I swear to God I HATE that show. And while I’m at who can explain the attraction of Wife Swap? It is SO contrived and predictable.</p>
<p>Unfortunately my S is not much of a homebody and the girls in my house absoutely love these shows.</p>
<p>Edit post above to say Extreme Makeover Home Edition</p>
<p>I get Mr Bean and Benny Hill but not Dad’s Army.</p>
<p>I’ll join on with the others who don’t get Everybody Loves Raymond; or more accurately, I don’t get why so many people think mother-in-law and shrewish wife jokes are so hilarious.</p>
<p>I don’t get why fat slobby dudes on TV always have hot wives. </p>
<p>I don’t get the <30% of the American population who still support George Bush. </p>
<p>I don’t get Star Trek, and I’m married to a Trekkie. </p>
<p>I don’t get why people don’t like the TV shows I love, which means the shows I love always end up getting canceled.</p>
<p>I agree about most reality shows, except Runway. Who can’t get excited about making dresses from grocery store items?</p>
<p>
Hate it also… I was hoping it was going to be like “This old house”, and discuss technical challenges in renovations. Now it is - “Smash this decent house to bits and sling up a mansion.” (And, aren’t concrete foundations supposed to CURE for a while before you build on them? Likewise joint compound, tile grout, wall texture, etc?)
Re: saggy britches on men-boys. Doesn’t it just make them look like they have a dirty diaper hanging low… :eek:
Don’t get Bush and Iraq war. Newspaper today showed a poll that Americans support of the invasion of Iraq has actually gone up! Don’t get it one bit. :eek:</p>
<p>Alicia Keys–I mean, I give her credit for being the singer-songwriter type, but I don’t really think her voice is that amazing, and her songs don’t strike me as so innovative or bold. Still, everyone and their mother seems to think she is some kind of wunderkind of music. I just don’t think she warrants the hype.</p>
<p>Norah Jones, she put the whole family to sleep. I wish I received her CD when my kids were younger.</p>
<p>Things I don’t get: Hemingway (why is he supposed to be good?), Reality tv (esp. the gross ones), rap videos shot in clubs (they all seem to be the same, flashing lights, flashing bling, just flashing…), religious wars (talk about a contradiction in terms), or why Nascar is a billion dollar industry (drag-racing is illegal?) Finally…why is every single Newberry Award winning book incredibly depressing? Addendum…why are 90% of the books assigned in high school incredibly depressing? Are they <em>trying</em> to turn kids off to reading?</p>
