It got far less smart than it used to, it relies on sex jokes more often, and it stopped with the REAL references to nerd culture.
In the limited episodes I've seen, it always seems like we're supposed to be laughing at the nerds because they're nerds, not because they're funny. I'm not really a fan of that.
I don't know how nerdy I would consider myself, but I'm at least nerdy enough to post about TV shows on a message board, so a show that is actively making fun of me and people like me is not one that's going to hold my attention for very long.
You can be a nerdy show and not make fun of nerds, you can actually celebrate them if you do it correctly. See Psych, Chuck, and Community (and probably some other shows I haven't seen yet).

Well said. I know people who watch BBT, the old episodes are ok, but it's not something I seartch out to watch for some of these reasons.
And again, that supports the Target 40+ argument, that they are just making fun of nerd culture rather than celebrating it.
