Everything is pretentious with you?
In so many of your posts?
Do you even know the definition.
This wasn't a show about teenagers acting like all their minor calamities were the worst things to ever happen in mankind. This was not a stupid teenager version of mumble-core.
These were adults with real issues...cancer, children, parental problems, adult relationships where no problem was exaggerated...in fact, contrary to pretentious, it was muted...and complicated.
There were some bad characters but it was refreshing for once to see adults have problems on TV that didn't involve war or drug addiction. TV shows shouldn't be stupid Ozzie and Harriet or at the only other spectrum...MASH.
Every day adult problems...that are complex inter-personal.
Not every show can be Dukes of Hazzard. (I'm assuming you didn't think that was pretentious and loved it.)

I don't remember calling anything pretentious lately, but if I did, I was probably right about that too. Seems logical.
Here's my definition of the word - a tv show geared toward the most self entitled generation in human history, full of sushi making, orange cappuccino drinking, Haagen-Daaz eating, suspender-wearing yuppies whose real life problems, as you put it, were scientifically created to pull on the heart strings of the aforementioned generation. That last bit made it more patronizing than pretentious, but it scored pretty high in both categories.
You seem upset. I didn't know that Judd Nelson's career was such a sensitive subject for you.

And this is the real tragedy. Dukes of Hazard was like the Appetite for Destruction of network TV.
