Big Bang Theory[/quote]
I actually think most people hate Big Bang Theory.

I hated it but I liked Young Sheldon. Go figure.[/quote]

Because you hated it? The show ran for 12 seasons and was No. 1 in its 11th season. It launched Young Sheldon and a sequel. There is also another spinoff in the works. [/quote]

Big bang theory is just a really well done classic sitcom.  It’s not creative or Shakespeare or anything but it has lovable quirky personalities, some character growth/arc over the seasons, a straight man playing to “characters,” and good quippy dialogue.  That’s the formula.   Also the Bob Newhart ongoing cameo was one of the funniest things I’ve seen on TV.  He was so, so funny in that role.  There were some other really good cameos as well.

BBT was just so cruel all the time. And it was mocking nerd culture not embracing it, despite its claims. [/quote]

I’m that poster.  I’m nerd culture adjacent.  Like, I have my list of favorite Star Trek characters and go in costume to Renn fest. And was friends in HS with all the guys who grew up to be the BBT type engineers and physicists.  I thought it was teasing in a loving way, not mocking in a cruel way.  They all had beautiful women fall in love with them, great jobs, good friends, and still got to be their nerdy selves going to Comicon so that’s like a perfect happy ending.

Are you a nerd?  Do you go to Comicon?   Can you debate the merits of the various Star Trek captains?

I sound like I’m a huge fan which I’m not but I think it’s a well done classic sitcom—not trying to be high art or anything.[/quote]
