HIMYM is more of a chick show that boyfriends and husbands get roped into, then natural affinity develops on the boyfriend/husband side once they get invested in the characters.

Big Bang is a solid show but doesn't have the broad appeal of HIMYM, mainly due to stereotypes around nerd culture. It's a show that has to overcome bias right off the bat to get people to buy in.

Essentially, HIMYM is Friends.

That may be the case, but, personally, I don't know any women that watch it.

Boom.

HIMYM just struck me as a chick show from day one and I gave it a season. Now I'll watch a few minutes of an episode here or there, but I never get intested in the characters like I should.

Fan/follower of both shows and with that being said I feel like Friends is streets ahead of HIMYM.
