When BBT came out a lot of people said I’d enjoy it, because “haha nerdy science humor haha”. I watched an episode and genuinely hated it—just more unfunny, one dimensional, Chuck Lorre dog shit.
I think I’ve been in the presence of maybe two or three other episodes since. They were also unfunny dog shit.
BBT, Friends, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother. I don’t understand what people like about these shows. To each their own, I suppose.
I tried to rewatch it recently and the first season has not aged well. I don’t know how much of that was the Chuck Lorre influence, but it was tough to watch. I remember the show being incredible, so it must have been later on when they found their own voice.
It is nothing more than jokes at the expense of nerd culture, not jokes that appeal to nerd culture. When people tell me I would like it, that is what I tell them.
Its tough to make a show thats acceptable for tv at an hour when Grandma, the parents and 3 kids 13 through 4 can all be in the room and nobody wil insist it be turned off.
Its like McDonalds, they dont care how many people LOVE it, its how many people find it acceptable.

Scrubs seems unlike the others

Yeah, Scrubs is genuinely brilliant for the first couple of seasons at least

I compare it to Community. Community is a smart show about “dumb” people, while BBT is a dumb show about “smart” people.
