re: Big Bang Theory and Friends. Observation not comparison.

I actually think Friends is legit good.

I've never watched BBT, but I know the gist of the show and basically know the characters (especially the Jim Parsons one). On my flight back to BR last week, they had some episodes of shows playing, and I watched them. Well, one of them was BBT, and I figured I had heard good things about it (also bad things, to be fair) so why not give it a shot. And it was pretty fricking horrible. I felt like it was not only "lowest common denominator" shite (which a lot are, admittedly), but also that it was pretty poorly acted. It seemed like they were just waiting to get their lines in most of the time.

If it helps, it was an episode where they replace a desk by the window with a new dining room table or something like that. I dunno...it was pretty fricking bad though.


In other news, however, I watched an episode of About a Boy, and it was pretty fricking hilarious. I may look into catching up on that show...I really enjoyed it. (it's what I started watching, and then BBT came on after it finished)
