I think the show is quite funny and I like it.

I think the blonde is overrated.

Do I think the show makes me smart? No. I already was to begin with. :P

It's kinda like The IT Crowd. You don't have to know anything about technology to get the jokes. It's more about liking the sitcom and the way they set up the jokes. I don't think I've ever met anybody who thinks they're smart for watching it, that seems silly. I watch it occasionally because Penny is hot.

Please dont ever, ever EVER compare the IT Crowd to that homogenized sh!te on a stick you call TBBT.

[QUOTE="BenedictArnold7"]I like the show. God forbid a show was popular. dave123321

This is the Internet. The only sitcoms you are allowed to enjoy are those that have no laugh tracks/laughing audience and are filmed with only one camera that shakes all the time. So, you can only like The Office, Arrested Development (SO UNDERRATED, BREH!) and, if you are one of thems libruhls who hate 'Murica and its core traditional values, Modern Family. 

 

 

 

Do you enjoy any of the three shows that you mentioned?

Big Bang Theory is retarded.  Most of the humor is lame and tired.  I don't see how people find the show funny.  

hartsickdiscipl

1) Do you consider people who watch a "retarded" show also retarded?

2) What kind of comedy TV do you consider smart?

What happened yesterday?

A certain someone was suspended for making an "Overrated OT'ers" thread, on the grounds that it was made solely to ridicule other users. Meanwhile there was a huge "Most hated OT'er" thread on the front page and a "Worst OT User of 2012" thread a few pages back. Not sure why mine was suspended...

I go to a science and engineering college and we often complain that thejokes in TBBT are too narrow in scope or too watered down. I think the show appeals to anyone who keeps up with mainstream science Go to a real engineering/science school, you will hear jokes so in depth it should be criminal for laughing at them.

I enjoy the show myself but I don't see how anyone can think it's for smart people. It's just a sit-com.

You should tell Brucewayne to take the moderation to ask the mods. Bring up the current RC thread and the threads you mentioned. It does seem like a clear case of inconsistent modding and rules. Also bring up my OT troll database that was allowed and reached a significant number of posts.

Frankly, there is much more pretention around shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development.

jimkabrhel

Do you mean like everyone gets all defensive if you say anything bad about it? Definitely agree with you there, though I liked Arrested Development a lot. And then there's all the people who are like it's so underrated. Kinda annoying.

[QUOTE="cain006"]

Please dont ever, ever EVER compare the IT Crowd to that homogenized sh!te on a stick you call TBBT.

I've only seen a few episodes of it but I think The Big Bang Theory is OK. It's simple but there's nothing wrong with that, sometimes you don't want to have to look for references and whatnot like in Archer or think like Louie. It's like watching a superhero movie - you know what will happen, but that doesn't make it boring.

That said I also think The IT crowd gets too much praise by the people who like it. Yes there were a few really amazing episodes, but half the episodes were pretty mediocre.

I'm a fan of the show, but it was definitely better in the first 2-3 seasons when it wasn't trying to be as mainstream.  Now that everyone has a relationship, it's starting to lose a lot of its nerdy appeal it had earlier on.

I love the show, but now most of the jokes revolve around much more generic "nerd" jokes that anyone would get. Plus many of the laughs now are sex jokes which is a shame since they already have Two and a Half Men and Rules of Engagement for that. I love it when they throw in some Firefly references that many people wont get, but thats probably about as obscure as they go except in cases where they purposely make a physics joke only physicists would understand.
