The Big Bang Theory
People told me to watch this, but I don't know. I feel like those geeks are the less credible geeks. Am I right?
Some guy told me it is getting better during the season 2. Is he right? I do not know. I am kind of turned of by this tv show. |

the one geek is banging the hot blonde on the show. It's total bullshit. It's kinda annoying.

I agree with this. Jim Parsons is fucking brilliant.
The show is really good, but at times makes you feel slightly dumb for not understanding all the science talk. They're just playing way too hard of the "hot chicks dig nerds" stereotype though IMO. Other than that, I absolutely love this show. Rahj also makes the show great. |

First time I saw it I thought it was stupid and ridiculous. Then later one day I watched an entire episode and I thought it was pretty funny and downloaded the entire 2 seasons. I watched those 2 seasons multiple times over and enjoyed them very much but I don't have the same feeling when I watch the 3rd season. I don't know why but maybe the novelty is wearing off for me.

Seems like a dime a dozen cheezy sitcom to me. Watch Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia instead.

Frankly I saw the originally planned pilot sometime in May and knowing they didn't follow that trend deserves some props.

It is probably the best "mindless studio-style sitcom" on TV now.

Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory are the only good "true" sitcoms left. Everything else is shit.

Show is hilarious. Nerd humor from start to finish, and it is absolutely fantastic. Dunno how anyone could not like this show unless they have no ounce of nerd in them whatsoever.

Also, not at all Fignuts. 'dime a dozen cheezy sitcom' my ass. Show is easily one of the best sitcoms in the past 5-10 years.

Show is garbage. Guys don't even come across as nerds. They just come across as homos. Terrible shit.

What? I guess you must not 'get' a lot of the humor then, because it is quite nerdy and I have no problem admitting that I am quite nerdy enough to get a lot of it.
Did you watch half an episode before making that conclusion? |

I'm not even nerdy, don't watch cartoons, or read comics, or watch Star Trek and I find this show hilarious.

^Yeah. The show makes fun of itself quite frequently too, which is one reason I love it. Hell, even the 2 that come across as having gay tendencies (Rahj specifically), they purposely make fun of and point that fact out constantly in the show.

You know who watches 2 and a half men?
My grandmother. And other old people. |

Also, I suppose a lot of the humor in Big Bang Theory is a lot (not all) of American pop culture humor, regardless of how nerdy it is. So that could be why you don't enjoy it as much.

I don't know what the allure of Two and a Half Men is to old people but I also know several old people who say it is their favorite show.

It is somewhat 'risque' humor without being vulgar. To old people at least. That is why my grandma likes it I am pretty sure.

I think there must be a lot of blow job jokes that fly under the old peoples' radar. Some of that slang they can't possibly know.

Can't stand Two and a Half Men. My girlfriend likes it though.
I enjoy The Big Bang Theory but it wouldn't make my Top 10 shows (maybe even Top 20). And now my girlfriend has got into it so it's cool that we can watch it together. |

Two and a half men has definitely run soft now, they need something to bring back the fire next season or else its done. The kid is not a half anymore anyway

I think CBS generally pulls in the most of the older demographic.

Honestly cannot watch the standard 3-camera sitcom anymore.
Watch Modern Family or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia |

I got a really weird Sam and Diane feeling watching Penny and Leonard too. A celebrity guest star coming and breaking them up (Christopher Lloyd -> Whil Wheaton.) Also the amount of times they seem to be going out and then not. |
