'Central Park' Debuts on Apple TV+: Animated Musical Comedy From Creators of 'Bob's Burgers'

I HATE bingeing shows and I am still angry at Netflix for introducing that scourge on humanity.

People have been binge watching shows long before Netflix. Netflix may have gotten more people to do it due to making it more economical and convenient, but my friends and I have been binge watching shows (starting with animes) ever since we were able to buy an entire show or season as a boxed set.

I made it through the intro song and the introduction of the family then it lost me when the family all went off to do their own thing showing no interest in the dad.

I don't like it and I don't know how people could find this funny

I'm with you about not liking it, I don't know what the appeal is but I don't understand the appeal of Bob's Burgers either. I'm glad so many people seem to like it but the way people rave about Bob's and Central Park... I dunno man it is lost on me.

I hate that it's Apple exclusive. Thanks to this fact, I'll have to find "other" means of watching it. Exclusive media encourage these alternative methods.

For the angry emoji's, here's my fact checking references, since facts speak louder than opinions. Some refer to music, but the same can be said for all digital media.

Where are the facts? You linked to three opinion pieces.

I still have to take out some time and watch it. But having watched the trailer advertising it? I'm *sort* of leaning this same direction. It's weird because I really liked Bob's Burgers. But I felt like this was a little too similar.

I mean, you compare "The Simpsons" to "Futurama" and they're very different. You can believe the same guy made both of them, but you'd never mistake one for the other, even if you only saw a 3 second clip to identify it by.

"Central Park" just looked like it was another Bob's Burgers episode except with some other characters they hadn't introduced before.... Felt like it could have the same types of story lines and conflicts, too, taking place in the same fictional city that's supposed to look and feel like a cartoon NYC.

I don't like it and I don't know how people could find this funny

Then you missed the real message throughout the show.

I wish it was South Park.

Nah, that show isn't good anymore. At least two bad seasons in a row.

Yes. I hope Apple moves to the three episode drop followed by weekly releases for all future shows. I HATE bingeing shows and I am still angry at Netflix for introducing that scourge on humanity. And people wonder why children these days have such short attention spans.

Wouldn't binging a TV show mean having a long attention span?
