Strange - I've heard the opposite. Shitshow all-around. I'm not watching it, so I have no opinion.

(February 2, 2023, 10:44 pm)larik9 The Office actually did have some pregnancy fetish bits with Pam, but I don’t think this show is trying to do something like that - this seems more for shock value, like a lot of things about it.

Kaling wrote a lot for that show, but who knows if that was her joke.

Totally off topic but I always thought Pam was cute. Do you happen to have any examples? Any episodes that show this? A quick Google search shows she may have been pregnant twice? Was this like Friends final episode with Jennifer Aniston where they laid it on so insanely thick that just about all of Jennifer Anistons dialogue would trigger most maiesiophiles? Or Two And A Half Men where Allen ended up having sex with Sara Rue and inducing her labor?

I watched The Office (US) some years ago and don't remember content that would have been of particular interest to us. I feel like that would have stood out to me.

It wasn’t anything major. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe Oscar tries to comfort Pam by saying many people have the fetish.

(February 3, 2023, 1:05 pm)MJSimmons I have enough. I am paying Paramount+, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc... etc... I really do not see the need to add another, and I had no genuine desire in the first place to add HBO-Max, having a show that brings a pregnant women to do nothing more then add shock value and get people talking about the show.

I got HBO Max shortly after it launched which I believe was in 2020 or 2021, I can’t remember because it’s been a while. Anyway, the reason I signed up was because I wanted to watch the remake of The Witches starring Anne Hathaway in the role made famous by legendary actress Angelica Huston. 

As a fan of the 1990 original I was curious to see how the remake would measure up. It was not even close to being as good as the original. I decided to keep the account because at the time South Park was streaming there and also because HBO Max is home to DC Comics content.

Mate, whoever claims this show has gotten better is either a bought and paid for shill or they are speedballing some seriously pure drugs.

“Velma” is going to get worse the longer it is allowed to infest HBO Max.

Was there anything that caused that or did they just randomly start discussing this? Do you recall what season?

A lot of people like it on Reddit. There are two subreddits dedicated to this show.

And heres another article threatening a Season 2.

So don't watch it and let others enjoy it. Saying that someone's a shill or on drugs for liking something shows how inept you are to the concept of someone else having a different taste than you. At least those who are hate-watching are giving the show a chance instead of putting their head in the sand and prolonging the echo-chamber. And if their opinion's change on the show, then who is anyone here to claim they're speedballing drugs or a bot?

And let's be honest, HBO Max themselves have done more damage during the merger than whatever Velma can do. Not only did they cancel shows that were doing well, projects that were in production, and even ones that were nearly completed, but they scrubbed them from existence to the point where you can't even buy the DVDs anymore, thus making them inaccessiable outisde of piracy. And these where shows that were still running. But I guess somehow Velma's existence is worse than thousands losing their jobs and years of work down the drain overnight.

Velma's an abomination made by and for people who hate cartoons, although the same could be said for nearly every cartoon being made today.

I just look this amazing show and i just understand " You can Say whatever You whant to Say from white people is time to be racist with them" is like the tv show Say i AM a Indian ugly woman who is racist but i can Say it in públic so i make a tv show about it and everone must like it becouse if You don't like i AM racist You are racist is a very crazy time we love it now My friends

PD: fuck Mindy Kaling,

The term “hate watching” suggests that the people who are watching this train wreck are not doing so because they are willing to give it a chance. We are well past the point for that. The hate watchers are doing so to see how more bonkers the writing is going to get. 

“Velma” was DOA the moment the first trailer dropped. Even before that I knew it was going to be garbage when I learned it was a Mindy Kaling self insert hijacking of the Scooby Doo IP.

If a group of people take to Reddit and claim a steaming turd gets better the longer it sits in the sun that’s certainly their opinion and the are entitled to it. However that doesn’t change the fact that the turd is still a turd.
