Thursday Movie Picks: Television Edition: Rivalry

A weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves

As 2019 is packing its bags, I'm joining for the last time (this year) Wandering Through the Shelves's Thursday Movie Picks. And this being also the last Thursday of the month, it's a television themed week. It's tackling rivalries and since I had quite an emotional day yesterday I'm going with sitcoms. Hopefully it will cheer you up too if you have a not so good day :)

Homer Simpson vs Ned Flanders - The Simpsons

It's mostly one-sided as it starts because Homer can't stand Ned's goody-two-feet way of being, but occasionally Ned too loses his shit when he's had enough and those are the funniest bits of their rivalry for me.

Sheldon Cooper vs Wil Wheaton - The Big Bang Theory

This is probably the longest rivalry as Sheldon's resentment towards the Star Trek actor goes back to Sheldon's childhood. And it's kinda weird and unusual how Wheaton, a celebrity, goes along with it, but it's very funny.

Jim Halpert vs Dwight Schrute - The Office

I don't think there's a more iconic and funny rivalry that the one Jim and Dwight have. Although I like him, Dwight is so uptight and such an asshole that it's hard to sympathize with him whenever he's the target of Jim's amazing pranks.
