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

The nerd thing was played out after season 2. There is only so far you can go with a premise like that before you have to actually make the characters into 3 dimensional people and not a gimmick.

But they became even more one dimensional when the show stopped really being about nerds. Everythig is just a sex gimmick now anyways.

Also, so you're saying that nerds can't be 3 dimensional characters?

If they were still doing Moff Tarkin jokes by season 4 people would be bitching.

Because they have a different audience than their well costumed writing and content should appeal to. Of course their audience wouldn't like Grand Moff Tarkin jokes, because their audience are 40+ years old, not twenty-something geeks.

But if it was a show for nerds and about nerds, well, Grand Moff Tarkin is always hilarious.

Also...

Big Bang Theory... It's a trap!
