Maybe it's because I'm a nerd at heart, but I actually like this show. It's not the best, but damn I get some good laughs out of it. It was a surprise new show from last season.  |

Love Big Bang Theory. The show is absolutely made by Sheldon's character and the actor who plays him. It doesn't hurt that the chick is so smoking hot, but most of the funny is Sheldon or the others reacting to Sheldon.

This show bothers me. Mainly because I see it as more of an underscoring of the "Nerds can't be social" and "Education is for dweebs" culture that's killing the US.

I have to admit I didn't like this show at all after the pilot, but it's grown on me and the first episode of season 2 was hilarious.

They had an earlier one with her playing Halo and kicking Sheldon's ass. |

Shows with laughtracks should die.
Also, mathspergers isn't funny.
I'm gonna finish season 1, but this is like a modern napoleon dynamite. Nerds aren't like this. Sorry. Fail. 10 Flavors of Fail.

Nah it's good lighthearted fun nothing more, that said I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it and definitely wouldn't buy the boxset so I suppose it fits in the slightly better than mediocre category.

Maybe it changes with location, but around here Nerds are like this. Not the "Sheldon over the top" kind, but the rest of them.

I watch it but don't record it. It's ok but not good enough to warrant DVR space. I agree that Sheldon makes that show. Without him, it's pretty much not funny at all. Penny can be pretty funny too, but really... it's all about Sheldon.

It's good for what it is.. there aren't alot of sitcoms I can actually stomach on TV anymore, but this is one of them.

I love the character of Kripke that they added, with the vewwy bad wisp.

The thing that blows me away about this show is all the really esoteric things that turn up in it. Like Sheldon (think it was Sheldon) wearing a t-shirt with the Greatest American Hero symbol on it. That was just badass nerdery. That and original stuff like Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock and an actual explanation of how those rules work. My daughter and I just absolutely collapse into tears with this show.
And um...Penny doesn't hurt things either.

They were playing Talisman in tonights episode. I exploded in my pants in a nerdgasm. Genius. |
No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Yeah the Talisman reference was cool. In a nerd way. Good show but I am not a huge fan. I'm a huge fan of Penny's rack though!

That was a pretty sexy scene with the salt on the neck. Funny too.
I'd lick the salt anywhere off Penny.

Penny might be a 10 in Nerdland but she is a solid 6 compared to most attractive TV actresses.

Penny's a 6? Pardon ME Mr. Hefner!
Enjoyed the last repeat. Leonard dates a fat chick and not one joke about her size. It was strangely refreshing to see a more 'realistic' couple on TV.
Oh and the jewish mom was hilarious. "I've got a coupon!"
Going to start recording this show.

What are you talking about? Anyway, there was also a reference to Schrodinger cat from penny that was pretty witty. You hear her trying to explain it to her new boyfriend. I'm going to post a link to the wiki of it for convenience... will I get chastised for spamming wikipedia too? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrödinger's_cat |

Oh, she's actually in it, I read the description but I wasn't sure. Downloading. I'll deal with that one nerd for 30 minutes, I suppose.

Yeah I'm with shcild on this. Penny and AoC references make it too hard for me to tear away though. |
