I just feel that if something is universally acclaimed, sweeps the awards, and is loved my millions, it's hard to defend the POV that it's absolute, complete utter crap. I didn't enjoy Grey Gardens. I found it boring, pretentious, and self-important, and I thought Ebersole merely did a good impression, however you don't see me all over the board making snarky comments on every thread about it. Just because you (and a large group of people, i will admit) did not enjoy something does not mean it has no artistic value. I'm no Spring Awakening groupie, don't think it's the best show ever, and it wasn't even close to the show I enjoyed most this season, but I see the value in it. I think to dismiss it as crap is a little unfair.
It's just a message board. Let's not take it too seriously.
