I can’t watch shows with badly behaved, smartass kids like Bart. Just upsetting to me somehow. I respect the Simpsons as clever writing but parts are tough to watch. From what I hear South Park is much worse.

My mom loves Big Bang Theory; I explain my strong aversion to it as the show's humor largely consisting of non-"normal" behavior being highlighted for derision; as feeling like some of my behaviors are similar enough that I'd be humiliated for them.
