re: Why does "How I met.." get love, but "The Big Bang..." gets hate?

I swear, the next person to mention "hipsters", should be punched in the taint repeatedly. It's such a lazy argument. If you think BBT is better show, argue for its quality, but spare me the strawman of "people hate things that are popular." Maybe that's true for a small subset, but most of us are adults and don't give a crap about that stuff.

We'll have to disagree on that. I've spent too much time (years) on this board and the music board not to see the hipster effect.

HIMYM has my favorite literary device, the unreliable narrator, so it sucks me in. That's a personal thing, though. It doesn't make it automatically "better", just more appealing to me. though I think the quality of writing is higher and the cast is superior.

Eh. The ten or so episodes I watched had me not giving a crap about anyone else except Barney. All the others were forgettable.
