What does the big bang theory comedy series tell us about yourselves..

naivejenni · 11-30-2010, 08:05 PM

There is a geek in each and every one of us. No matter how subtle..we all have it.

desertgrandma · 11-30-2010, 08:46 PM

Is there a point to this post?

RCR · 11-30-2010, 09:30 PM

Is it the inner geek or the inner Aspergers?

Actually, a geek is a pathetic sideshow freak who bites the heads off of live chickens.
Which, you have to admit, is much more entertaining than 'The Big Bang Theory' could ever hope to be.

It tells me that I couldn't stomach anything beyond the pilot episode.

happy_terd · 12-02-2010, 12:28 PM

This is a show?

taming · 12-02-2010, 12:35 PM

I love the show, but I am getting really tired of being called Leonard. The term I prefer, btw, is wirehead.

I generally hate sitcoms but I like Big Bang Theory. What does it say about me? Well, maybe I should be happy that I didn't complete my physics degree?

It proves that Darlene and David from Roseanne are still adorable as a couple.

ardeegee · 12-03-2010, 05:53 PM

If you note, laugh-tracks are fading away-- the best modern comedies don't have them at all. And The Big Bang theory is full of it (as I mentioned, I've only watched the pilot, but it was all over the net a while back.)

The loss of a laugh track is not progress, IMO. I never found myself rolling around guffawing at, for instance, The Office. I like my comedy to be funny, such as Big Bang Theory. Vive la difference.

Well over here in sunny south africa we realy have patetic comedies and im a bit of a techie so i enjoy watching the show when its on but im not fantic about tv in genaral so what does this tell me about my self im a nerd who rearly waches tv

Latinandgreek · 12-04-2010, 11:56 AM

I'm a big old nerd, but then again I knew that before I started watching Big Bang Theory. I haven't watched it at all this season, however. It's funny, but I wouldn't place it in my top 10 comedy shows.

I've only seen one episode, but it had Blossom in it and she was hilarious.
