I can get behind some sitcoms... Community is one of my favorite shows on television. for some reason I have always liked How I met your mother even though it got old after awhile. but I cant deal with this show. Its more then likely not worse than most things on TV I just cant stand how it misrepresents nerd culture.

LOL.....makes you chuckle to hear that people are arguing over whether or not they like a show because of the "canned laughter".
But then again, there are shows that people find hilarious I find idiotic and banal and can't figure out why people watch them. It's all in your personal taste. |

The Big Bang Theory is not a smart show. It's a dumb relationship comedy wearing thick glasses and a pocket protector. The jokes sometimes reference science and geek culture, but rarely in a way that requires you to understand the reference to get the joke (and if you do need to get the reference they explain it).

I like BBT, but it is not a "science" show. |

Besides Ebolapox, here are a couple more examples:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...e-Bazinga.html Brazilian biologist Andre Nemesio said he named the species of Brazilian orchid bee Euglossa bazinga in honor of 'the clever, funny, nerd character Sheldon Cooper,' because the bee had tricked scientists for some time with its similarity to other species. ... According to the Smithsonian, Sheldon Cooper has also an asteroid named after him (246247 Sheldoncooper). |

To my knowledge it is.
When they were launching it, the writers sought a grad student from Cal Tech to ensure the science was accurate. When they called CalTech physics department for a grad student, professor Saltzberg said he wanted to do it. So they went with him. All those equations on the white board are checked by him as well as various props and he also checks the script for science inaccuracies. To my knowledge, they've even had students from that dept in the audience at times. From what I've read the scientists at the school are fans of the show. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Saltzberg |

Although I will say it's much, much better than Two Broke Girls. Whoever brought that show up deserves an eye-stabbing.
My wife watched TBBT and TBG regularly. I can at least tolerate listening to TBBT in the background. Two Broke Girls is an abortion having an abortion. |
