The Big Bang Theory

I honestly don't know why you still watch it.

In the feint hope it will pick up again. Friends went lame for a long while, didn't stop there being some comedic value and odd good episodes.

Would you stop watching your football or cricket team because they had a bad run or series........................?

cool way to take the fun out of comedies with essays bro

I ain't your "bro", and the fun was taken out by the writers, I'm just pointing it out

 

[Manly]

Fair enough bro. Disagree with you on the Friends bit though, bro.

I've always had the utmost respect for the British sense of humor.

Then I come here and find out you guys like this awful excuse for a show.

Just boggles my mind how you guys can appreciate stuff like Peep Show, and then dumb yourselves down to the level of the Big Bang Theory.

Wow Mark.... That's the most accurate post I think I've ever seen you post here

I used to enjoy this show as it was an easy 30 minutes of TV. Now the show has just gone down the pan completely.

btw Mark have you seen Fresh Meat? Sort of like a cross between Peep Show and Inbetweeners, by the writers of Peep Show.

I like it, I'll watch it when I'm browsing through the channels on TV.

I only caught bits of the "100th episode" programme, but did it really do anything for the comedy? Besides spoiling the illusion of the stairs, their willingness to change jokes on the basis of a small audience is silly.

As for the episode itself, and subsequent, still lacking much to laugh at. Plots still better off lost, as the writers seem to have done, and the main character cast is still too heavy and cumbersome. Last night's has some funny lines, but the plot was boring and anal. I think we all know Sheldon is lucky that Leonard takes him everywhere and noone would step up to the plate in his absence, doesn't need a rather unfunny scene to confirm it. And since when did he start riding buses?

The writers must have felt a Sheldon and a female Sheldon wouldn't work, so took AFF (with a silent N no doubt) and changed her into a normal person wannabe. She's a terrible actress, should stick to neurobiology or whatever it is she's qualified at. The Wallowitz relationship is a joke, I mean taking what Wallowitz was to start with and twisting it round so he wants kids etc is so carp it's unbelievable.

It is a soap opera with a few laughs, when a programme retains too much of an overall plot-line through it then it does that. And how many times can two people get together, split up, get together, split up..................?!?!? And if I haven't said recently then Raj is a rubbish character, he was much funnier when he was unable to speak much and now he does more and more he is obnoxious and not very likeable - although in fairness we did get that a bit whenever he spoke of his wealth and shared his views on stuff.

Get back to being four geeks in a university, doing geek things and failing to get women let alone have them hanging around. Says a lot that the yanks set their comedies out to go on forever, that new "broke girls" 'comedy' looks unfunny but no doubt will go on and on forever.

Maybe I'm a bit harsh and to simple yanks and other people it is funny. I saw clips of that "Derek" comedy and that was shockingly bad, then again Ricky Gervais is the king of unfunny comedy

Derek was ace. Wasn't meant to be a laugh out loud type programme and it was rather good at dealing with the subject matter I thought.

Stephen Hawking Episode was amazing.

Loved the fact, Howard got sheldon to clean everything, and when sheldon fainted in front of Stephen Hawking. However, didn't expect Stephen Hawking to look like he did

Getting harder and harder to watch these days, the wedding was just awful and the one where Sheldon sings Christmas carols just cringeworthy and absolute proof they've run out of ideas.

Same happened with Scrubs, Red Dwarf and lots of comedies, come series 4-5 they start derailing. Friends managed to keep itself going, although one exception doesn't mean the rule doesn't work. Now even Sheldon has a "girlfriend" the whole concept of the series is offtrack, a load of lonely nerds who can't get girlfriends and do nerd things in their spare time then becomes only one nerd without a girlfriend and the girlfriends cluttering up the plot(s).

Like Scrubs I will just have to take solace in only buying the best series on DVD and pretending the rest was never made. Unfortunately I may have to do that with Star Wars as well
