- At least the glasses chick has a solid rack, and I don't mean Blossom. -- nm - Shaun Apr 2, 17:24
- One of my favorites. And I think it's criminal that Johnny Galecki hasn't been nominated as often as Jim Parsons. -- nm - tobor.2 Apr 2, 17:18
- I hate how it's "nerds are funny!" It's a bit silly, but I very, very rarely find it actually funny. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 2, 17:17 4
  - A comedy that thinks its main characters are funny because of what they are? OMG, that's soo not the norm. -- nm - tobor.2 Apr 2, 17:38
  - This entire episode is 'look at the funny things the nerds say and do!!!' It's atrocious. -- nm - Shaun Apr 2, 17:19 2
    - No, that's not just one episode. That's the premise of the entire show. -- nm - Qale Apr 2, 17:33

  - Wow. I remember back in the day when people were embarrassed to admit they liked According to Jim. - Roger More Apr 2, 17:51 5
    - This is not According to Jim. You take that back! -- nm - Krusty Apr 2, 18:03
    - There are people who liked that show? - tobor.2 Apr 2, 17:56 3
      - It was on TV for years, without anyone admitting to watching it. - Roger More Apr 2, 18:04 2
        
        But the theory for that one is that Jim has some major blackmail material on someone high up in the channel. - tobor.2 Apr 2, 18:12
        
        I recalla recent article about someone saying they'd watched every episode of Two and a Half Men withoutl laughing once - Reagen Apr 2, 18:10

      - It's goofy and covers subjects I like as Star Wars Trek etc -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 17:17
- go to YT and watch clips without the laugh track. As someone who enjoys a laugh I am offended by this show. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 2, 17:06 39
  - It's filmed live. Do they add a laugh track over the people? - Krusty Apr 2, 17:10 37
    - I looked this up years ago, after I, too, gave it a chance and couldn't watch more than a little because of the laughing. - b. Apr 2, 17:22 6
      - MASH used a laugh track, doesn't bother me at all when shows do -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 17:25 5
        
        I didn't mind it for that show, as a kid, or for others that were earlier; but more modern use just grates on me. - b. Apr 2, 17:28
        
        don't you dare mention MASH in the same thread as BBT. I mean it. Take it back. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 2, 17:27 1
        
        I went right to the king of comedies. -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 17:31
        
        Same for me. Doesn't bother me or take away from my enjoyment of the show. -- nm - Krusty Apr 2, 17:26
        
        All but one episode. Right Mel? MASH buddy -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 17:26
    - whether it's artificial or not... -- (link) - Mel Profit Apr 2, 17:14 [youtube] 28

        Wow! That's huge. I'm sure you'd wear a mask and gloves but still. - Krusty Apr 2, 17:39
        
        Move to the west coast. They don't know you like we do. But you can't root for the Yankees out here or we will tar and feather you -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 17:32 2

        I'm pulling out the 'You are wrong.' card. - Shaun Apr 2, 17:21 17
        
        I'm wrong for liking the show? You all watch terrible shows, let's not throw stones. - Krusty Apr 2, 17:25 15
        
        I think that's really true for anyone who watches more than a few shows, and maybe even then. I can't believe what some of y'all watch, and I'm sure - b. Apr 2, 17:35 10
        
        *nods, takes notes* -- nm - Tim Apr 2, 17:39 3

        They edited out all the laughing whether it's laugh track or not. It's not a live shot. -- nm - iSpam Apr 2, 17:21
      - *high 5* -- nm - Shaun Apr 2, 17:14
