"The first episode was aired on 9 December 1960 at 7 pm, and was not initially a critical success; Daily Mirror columnist Ken Irwin claimed the series would only last three weeks."

Whenever you feel down, imagine being this guy

I mean it's still not good - watching an episode is like pulling teeth to me.

Imagine being in the middle of the venn diagram for those.

Would you believe there's never actually been a street coronation in Coronation Street? It's true!

[–] TonyHawksPoTater@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I thought it was named after the chicken.

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Coronation chicken was created for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

Au contraire, mon frere! Queen Elizabeth was coronated to celebrate chicken!

Which came first, the chicken or the queen?

Her rule was so long it feels like the start of it predated even the egg!

But she never came. That's why she looked so grumpy all the time 😛

[–] TonyHawksPoTater@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Yep

Gonna watch those 11 thousand series to prove you wrong

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 10 months ago

I expect synopses of every single episode!

Sandmännchen fans with more than 22k episodes

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but it's 10 min long episodes... coronation street is between 30 and 60 min... wtf

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I tried to watch one piece and lasted 10 minutes. It was hard to watch.

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I literally tried One Piece Kai so that I could get to the good part faster and I still didn't make it. One Piece fans tell me I was almost to the good part. Okay if your good part is 100+ normal episodes in, I'm gonna have to pass on your show.

I love One Piece, but if anyone says to “wait till you get to the good part” then imo they are not really true One Piece fans. That show has charm right off the bat, and if you don’t like it then it’s just not your cup of tea.

[–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hell from what I've been told the good part is the beginning and it goes down past the time skip

I'm only 100 episodes in so I wouldn't know for sure

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I would agree. I like the overarching story, but they are really stretching everything out a bit too much. Worse than Goku’s spirit bomb at this point.

[–] Graphy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I’m not even a one piece fan but I love the early episodes where they’re collecting the whole gang. Like if you don’t latch onto that part then you’re definitely not going to care about the rest.
