Question for the haters

I'm definitely not a Scorpion fan, nor am I a "hater." I actually enjoy watching this reboot most of the time, but I must admit there are some things in it that are pretty silly. Like chasing a guy through a lot full of containers, then "capturing" him with a ring of fire with the only barrier between him and escape being a tiny wall of flames that is a foot wide and comes about up to his knees.
So I can definitely understand why some people really dislike it.
However, calling people "haters" simply because they don't like something that
you
like is childish. Do you think the only thoughts that should be allowed to be expressed here should be positive ones? People have a right to say they don't like something, and why this is so. The comment section is a forum, not a fan club. Get used to it, and get over it.
To use the same logic of the quote you pasted "So, instead of moving on with your life and simply not reading the negative comments, you spend time out of your day reading them then complaining about comments you could just..not read?"
It's usually pretty obvious from the titles of threads which ones you should avoid. Or even which reviews you should avoid from the number of stars. Just don't read them, enjoy the show, and stop whining.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. -

And here's more stupid beep from this episode
- The guy shoots the radio and it's in the car crushing steel enclosure bullets ricochet
- Mac rips out a CB radio. a 12 volt DC device and wires in into AC power, most likely 120 volts that would fry the radio immediately.
2a. He rips out the flexible conduit of the wires on the crusher. A normal strength human being is not going to be able to rip that out.
See, the show is F&CKING STUPID!!!

You cute little millennials and your "haters" paradigm.
Those of us who grew up watching the original MacGyver (the only sanctioned version, that is) are hopelessly disappointed by this utter travesty of TV viewing.
You pit the equally abominable Scorpion against this train-wreck of epic proportions and unwittingly believe you have created an "aha" moment.
You are wrong again. -

You cute little millennials and your "haters" paradigm.
Try Gen X!
"MacGyver" was and is
just
a fictional TV show. To me the old "MacGyver" was one of
many
shows I watched in any given week as a teenager. I was not very discriminating back then. This version is one of only 3 shows I watch in any given week. I don't look for reality, I don't expect it. If I want reality I'll go up to A&E or TLC for it, not CBS. (And by the way, couldn't care less about "Scorpion"!) -

You bring up a valid point:
I find a TV show that I don't like I don't waste my time watching it. I don't waste my time criticizing it on message boards. Above all I try to respect the fact that there are others that do like it. If we all liked the same thing TV would get very boring very fast.
We live in an era of butthurt, where expressing butthurt is freely available, and people who dare to question the butthurt of others, are considered 'haters'
Even though you clearly get it. I commend you for waking up. Keep commenting on things like this, abolish the hate feminists feel for men who DON'T BOW TO THEM.
It's so pathetic that this is where we are at with all our ideology and technology and advancements in medicine and science as well as mental health
We still just rehash old hate and bigotry from 50, 100 years agonow reframing it as a tool for vengeance instead of justice.
Prejudice isn't a character flaw, its a human biological fact. Refusing to acknowledge it's existence in any individual or group, is allowing it to run free and destroy all chance of mutual understanding / empathy towards 'them' by any 'us' there might be. -

i completely agree! i am old enough to remember the original series, which was my daughter's favorite show and i liked as well. why does a reboot have to follow the original series? this is supposed to be the original mcguyver's grandson. does anybody actually believe that the times and technology of today is remotely connected to that of 30 years ago? and the life of the character is bound to be different than that of richard dean anderson's character. why do people need to compare it to other shows? i also love scorpion. i absolutely hate ncis (the original one) and burn notice is horrible, but what does that have to do with this show? it saddens me that it gets such low ratings as that doesn't bode well for it's continuing, which means we will probably get something not at all worth watching! i love this show and really hope it makes it!

Why do people think that no one is allowed to express a negative opinion on a show?
"If you don't like it why are you commenting" is really a very ignorant thing to say. If only people who liked a show took time to vote and comment, every show and movie would be a 9 or 10 and have only positive comments - which would misinform others into thinking the show is universally accepted as "good".
With MacGyver there is even more reason for negative comments, because many people liked the original series.
