    Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.

    The Barenaked Ladies intro to this show is amazing and the opening montage is always fun to watch.

    To comment on what Reach said, I would agree regarding the last two seasons. I remember episodes where Sheldon would frequently spout off bits of information in huge, un-gasping breaths about some particular scientific theory or an animal or a superhero and how it compares to another character/what that character did, et cetera, (or he'd just spout off the information because he felt like it) whereas now it's more about the situations that they're in and how the characters (primarily Sheldon, let's face it) respond to that situation--the alcohol, the friendship with Amy, and now Leonard's relationship with Priya around Penny, to name a few.

    In one of the more recent episodes he mentioned a lizard or some such thing and how it compared to one of the other characters and what he said reminded me very much of the earlier episodes.

    This change isn't a bad thing though because it allows for a greater exploration of the characters, but I believe that if they keep going in this direction it might lose that original charm that us "astronomical nerds" value. Regardless, the show is still highly entertaining.

        The actor who plays Sheldon has no idea what 90% of his dialogue actually means.

            While I cannot deny that the show is often very witty, I am not fond of the distasteful geek stereotypes it fosters; especially when it possesses the power to cultivate them in conjunction.

            I realize a lot of sitcoms perpetuate traditional stereotypes as a result of a common social perspective but, for a sitcom I deem worth watching, I would have preferred if they didn't try so hard to depict intelligence and social dysfunction in juxtaposition.

            Perhaps I'm just being a bit stingy as it is, otherwise, a great show.

                I was googling pics from Sengoku Basara and found a pic of Sheldon in a guy's sig.

                By the way, the forum was in arabic.

                  I'm curious as to if they have captions, voice-overs, or are bilingual.

                      I just finished watching yesterday's episode (S4 E18) and noticed there were more sex jokes than there used to be, but they added in Howard's card trick, causing Sheldon frustration. I was very pleased.

                        I hope they don't venture too far into the sex jokes. The nerdiness is what drew me to the show in the first place.

                          Sex jokes are funny, but combined with the super nerds that the characters are supposed to be, it could be a bad idea. Hopefully they don't pursue too much into the sex jokes and they start to go back to the fully nerdy jokes.

                            I noticed the trend towards less intellectual jokes starting in the third season after re-watching all three of them on DVD. The 4th has continued the trend.

                            As much as I liked last nights episode, I do worry a bit for the future of the show. Hopefully they have some witty stuff planned for season 5.

                            Though I suppose the last two seasons have had the highest ratings yet, probably in part because of the greater accessibility.

                            Also, as much as it's cool to humanize Sheldon, I'm quite sure Sheldon is capable of googling magic tricks >_>

                              I find it enjoyable as, although it plays on the idea of the stereotypical nerd - and also the typical structure of many sitcoms (boy falls for girl; a lot of people sleep around; etc etc) - it manages to destroy other cliched ideas with the humour behind it. I wouldn't consider it as one of my favourite shows, but maybe one of my favourite sitcoms as I always find it enjoyable to watch with every new series.
