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

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.
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.

Yup. It's essentially Friends 10 years later with updated jokes and more resources.
Ross = Ted, Marshall/Lilly = Monica/Chandler, Barney = Joey, etc.

How is being compared to Friends a bad thing? Friends is a game-changing sitcom, and one of the very best casts in the history of TV. Sure, HIMYM is a modern Friends with a different framing device. That's a good thing.
I like Friends. I think it was a better show than Seinfeld.
also, why do people hate women so much? They are only 50% of the population. Why is a "chick show" inherently bad? Are you that insecure? And a chick can't enjoy stuff blowing up and a dude can't enjoy relationship drama? I mean, the undercurrent of misogyny of TV/movie criticism really bothers me. I'm not 8. I'm not grossed out by people kissing.
