I don't get your hatey for BBT. It's refreshing to have a comedy that has jokes that require education and/or intelligence to get and enjoy.

I can relate to those characters much more than any predictable blue-collar, cop, lawyer, MD, or playboy (etc.) that is in almost every other show in the last 40 years.

the one dimensional nerd stereotypes kill the whole thing for me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:31 8
- I don't find them one-dimensional. - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 22, 21:33 3
  - I was forced to watch way too many episodes, and to me they were extremely one dimensional. - loosilu Aug 22, 21:36 2
    - A lot of nerds love it. *shrug* -- nm - the liioulu on a bench Aug 22, 21:39 1
      - I'm a nerd and I love it. What other show would have someone dress up for Hallowe'en as the Doppler Effect? -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:43
- and if that's what passes for intelligent TV, you need to get out more. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:32 3
  - *ding* It makes 2 1/2 Men seem intelligent. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 21:44 2
    - seriously? 90 percent of jokes on 2.5 are about booze, sperm, or boobs. BBT has jokes involving science, comics, history, etc. -- nm - zork Aug 22, 21:47 1
      - just because it's better than 2.5 men doesn't mean it is any good at all. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 21:52
