There is a phrase that never fails to annoy me- “THE BEST SHOW ON TV”. Whether it’s Battlestar Galactica or The Wire or some other less worthy show, just hearing that phrase almost invariably means there is overrating going on.
Both of these shows are fairly awesome, I guess, but telling me that it’s “THE BEST SHOW ON TV” means one of two things:
1) You are telling me that the shows I currently watch and enjoy, like National Bingo Night, that show with the dude who lives forever, and the game show where you watch other people do crosswords, are inferior, which I take as a personal insult.
2) You are the type of person who speaks in hyperbole, and thus I will discount everything you say in the future.
Either way, you are lame.
