    Ok Who is Hotter?

    Personally I prefer Penny.....

    Penny looks better with bangs. After the first couple of seasons her hairstyle kind of makes her look hard and not as pretty.

    by far one of my favorite shows on TV right now... fantastic actors with great underlying story lines... and lets be honest - someone will always be offended by something... to each their own... i'll take this any day over keeping up with the kardashians though that's for sure!

    When they make a joke about something that relates to me, I laugh because it's usually funny.

    I worked in journalism for many years. There are entire Facebook pages dedicated to making fun of us. Usually they are run by and "liked" by 99% journalists or former journalists. They are full of stereotypes. They are funny and fun.

    I laugh at myself all the time.

    I Love the Big Bang Theory! My BF hates when it comes on because I sing the theme song and yell BANG at the end! LOL

    PS. Schroedingers Cat means the complete opposite of what you think it means.

    Love the show, but agree about Schroedinger's Cat. Every time they make a reference I want to punch a hole in a wall.

    I just feel sad about the poor cat in the box.

    Random references to science facts do not make a show smart. Character and plot development do. BBT is a dumb show about smart people, as opposed to something like "Arrested Development" which is a smart show about dumb people.

    I also play the viola... :-)

    Being able to laugh at yourself is a life skill. Builds resilience.

    All shows that offer affectionate parody or portrayal of nerds. BBT makes it cruel IMO

    I'm not a scientist or an intellectual ... but I am a lifelong dork, nerd and geek.

    I find their portrayal of the social awkwardness of a "family" of misfits to be fairly accurate and completely endearing. It's exaggerated for comedy, because that's what comedy does. Just like Mary Tyler Moore was an exaggeration of a single working woman, Rosanne was an exaggeration of a frazzled working class family, and Modern Family is an exaggeration of a .... pretty much every kind of mixed family out there.

    Apples and oranges.

    That's like comparing Mad Men to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Both TV dramas, but completely different in every other way. Yet both very good at what they do.

    So then it's OK to make fun of nerds who are not science nerds? Because you are a science "nerd," so it's not OK to make fun of science nerds.

    What?
    No. It's the way that the show is written that makes it different. That argument doesn't even apply because in addition to being a 'science nerd' I am also an avid collector/tabletopper/PC gamer/LARPer/comic book reader. All things that are discussed in the other shows.

    Please tell me, specifically, how the show is written that is so offensive. Because from what you've posted in this thread, I don't believe you've ever sat through an entire episode.

    I hate this show. It's like Blackface for nerds

    People who only hate this show because they don't understand the jokes. Love Bernadette!


    I like the show. But No one does NOT, not get the jokes. It's a show about Nerds for Non-Nerds; it is not deep at all...Not like the OLD SNL where you had to pause a minute before you 'got it'. If you have to pause to get these jokes then your IQ is about 80.

    Wait a minute. I watch the guild and I watch BBT ...They make the one mom in the guild look like a horrible mother ,constantly locking her kids in playpens and hiring and nanny so she can raid. Yet I don't take offense even though I'm a mother and used to raid. How do you take offense to BBT the show is funny ,well written and the characters have depth that most show don't. I've been a nerd my whole life and nothing on the show offends me. If it bothers you maybe you should look at why instead of the show itself. But then again I'm perfectly comfortable with my nerdiness and when they ake a joke about something that reminds me of me I laugh
