Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
Though I don't watch television while it's being aired (I watch downloaded shows in seasons at time), I consider The Big Bang Theory to be the best sitcom on the air. The humor is witty and tends to weed out any and all stupid jokes you'd be drowning in while watching almost any other sitcom. Discuss.

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
Absolutely LOVE this show. I do agree with it being one of the top shows on the air. It's its own kind of show (in sense of what it is) and keeps me laughing. A+ will always watch.

It's a fantastic show, and the writing is absolutely stellar, but I'll always be partial toward shows like 30 Rock that can pull off the laughs through pure delivery without the help of an audience. The Big Bang Theory has the comedic timing, but it's that irritating laughter that sets it slightly back. On the side, I'm also irritated by the fact that the scheduling for this show has been so uneven for the past few months, with an episode or two here and there, followed by a week-long break, followed by a few more episodes, et cetera. CBS must realize how strong this show is because a typical serialized drama--such as the almighty Fringe, which has been abused by Fox --would not be able to survive on such a roller coaster. Despite that, this show is still fabulous. I'm always willing to watch an episode if I see it on TV, and hopefully in the future none of the actors will take a shit on Chuck Lorre that results in a suspension of production or some damn thing.

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
I'd rather watch a show that doesn't feel like it's not so... Dull.

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
One of my favorite shows...obviously. <_<
Being an astronomically huge nerd, or should I say, scientist, I don't think there are any jokes from the 4 seasons that have gone over my head. When understood, many of the jokes are absolutely brilliant and hilarious. However, I know people that watch this show religiously that don't know an iota about what they're referencing and still laugh anyway. I've never understood it; thanks for the insight people. Either way, I think a lot of the humor has been dropped down a level in the last two seasons, especially compared to the first one (Way more sex jokes, much less obscure references and jabs to scientific material). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since I still enjoy the show, but I hope it keeps it's original charm.

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
Perhaps I'll look into it. How many seasons / episodes are there currently?

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
I don't know, to me the show is a like a person... and once you understand that just about every single joke is sarcasm or something intellectual it gets funny.
But when someone just jumps straight into its like this... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU |

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
4 seasons, 80 episodes [looked up on Wikipedia, last updated yesterday].
Luckily my dad and I have a bit of brains [we challenge each other watching Jeopardy sometimes] and the jokes don't go over our heads easily. If one of us doesn't get it though, usually the other one does. Unfortunately for my brother, he doesn't understand as many of the jokes so he lost interest easily. Only thing I wish they'd change about the show is the entrance theme music >.> some of the ways the singer says some words just irks me [mainly the way he says "14" in 14 billion years ago]. Other than that, I can't truly find any huge problems with the show :3

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. |

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
The actor who plays Sheldon has no idea what 90% of his dialogue actually means.

Re: Big Bang Theory? Big Bang Theory.
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. Last edited by Dormouse; 03-10-2011 at 10:44 AM.. |
