1) Why is it so popular?

2) Do they ever explicitly say that Sheldon has Asperger's?

Because it's funny ..... Well, it used to be. Haven't watched in a while.

Eh... I will admit that it's funnier than Mom that's playing right now.

it's not nearly as bad as this board makes it out to be. I've watched it from the beginning and while the earlier seasons are much better it's still watchable to me

I think it's just ok. I think the writing is pretty lazy and you can see a lot of the jokes coming from a mile away. Just wondering why it's the number 1 ranked show in America.

I agree but I can appreciate a show like that. I wouldn't put it anywhere near my personal best comedy list but I enjoy it for what it is.

the format of the show appeals to the casual tv viewer and cbs does an excellent job at promoting the show

Who knows? Maybe it makes people feel smarter?

He's not crazy; his mother had him tested. She does regret not following up with that specialist in Houston.

i strangely enjoy it, the laugh track is pretty obnoxious and overused

but for some reason I can just relax my mind and soak in some very simple entertainment. It's kind of annoying at times though, as they try to hard to make them "nerdy" but overall enjoyable imo

it's on CBS
it's a simple to watch comedy
there are attractive women
most people actually aren't educated so it makes them happy to laugh at the socially awkward geeks

It's a decent show for mindless time wasting. For example I'm watching it now to kill 15 mins till MNF

#1 I could tell you, but you wouldn't understand
#2 obviously, you don't know much about Asperger's

In other words, I don't know why I like the show, it just pushes my giggle button.
