It obviously was popular, so for that I can't say anything but that I didn't like it, for the reason I just stated.
I clearly remember one time hanging out at a friends house, when an episode about vampires was on, and his girlfriend said, "How do you know it isn't possible?"...
"Pro wrestling" would to me be on par with that show. Not so much now, but back in the 80s and prior, you could risk getting beat up for calling it an act.
I simply saw too many people taking that show way too seriously.
I have my own escapism too, but man, some people cant tell the difference between fantasy and real life.
So basically your dislike of the show is based on how others misperceived it rather than forming your own opinion from having watched it yourself? It seems to me no way to live where you allow others to ruin things for you.
