I tried watching and reading Peanuts
April 3, 2019 at 3:32 pm
If you like the series more power to you, but it doesn't attract me. I don't think it's a bad comic. I watched a few episodes and read a few strips, but nothing made me laugh or feel any emotion for that matter. I've heard people saying that it' a case of "Seinfeld isn't funny", but I doubt that. I'm young and I do like Seinfeld. Maybe I would've liked it more if I watched the show when it came out, but who knows. That's not all. There are older comics than Peanuts I find a lot more interesting : Popeye, Donald Duck, Little Nemo, The Adventures of Tintin, and there are probably a lot more that I would like if I tried them. It's not just comics, I still find the Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes hilarious to this day, and I did grow up with them. It also applies to some live live action movies. I enjoy the works of Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. Not to mention ancient greece literature.

I was always uncomfortable seeing Kenny get killed every week.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Really? I always found it the highlight of every episode.

But Seinfeld isn't funny. (Curb Your Enthusiasm is though. Glad he got it right on his second run.)
