Big Bang Theory


I've never been a fan of the number one comedy on TV, The Big Bang Theory, and so have only watched a few episodes. Something has always bugged me about it and if asked, I'd say that while I appreciate that they get the genre references right, the show is more a parody of "nerds and geeks" than actually representative of what they really are. It also bugs me that most of the "jokes" on the show are merely recited pop culture references rather than actual jokes, the reason I actively disliked Murphy Brown and Family Guy.

Shouting into the Void gets that. Check out his post below, which includes a comparison to my favorite show, which just happens to be in the same timeslot opposite BBT, Community.

The Problem with the Big Bang Theory

Pretty much nails it for me.
