I used to watch this show with my family, and despised every minute of it. I would rather have been waterboarded.

I used to watch this show with my family, and despised every minute of it. I would rather have been waterboarded.

I've actually seen a handful of episodes.

I didn't DESPISE it, but it seems like a totally bog standard sitcom with a few "nerd cred" things thrown in ("You are likely to be eaten by a grue") and a whole lot of "OMG YOU GUYS, SUPERHEROS! COMIC BOOKS!" surface level shit.

Overall it was so bland and boring I didn't stick with it for long, it's definitely confounding why it was so popular and lasted so long.
