Big Bang is probably my favorite TV show ever, just so good.

Also have never missed an episode of 2.5 men, so much better with Ashton.

They are D&D nerd and excentrics.

No, I get it, and I've defended the show in the past. I neither love it nor hate it. It has it's funny moments, and I think it's largely well-acted and has a good cast. But I also understand where those who hate the show are coming from. It's not a "true nerd" show like Community is.

It clearly has a non-nerd writing staff who has a conception of what nerds are like. I don't mind that much because it's not a documentary.

I grew up in a family of engineers, my favorite subject was always math, I play video games religiously, and read comic books almost as religiously.. and I find BBT hilarious.
My brother and SIL are both IT security at NASA, they introduced us to this show. In fact, everyone I know who watches this show is college educated, in college, or residing in a home with college educated parents.

which is to say the nerds do not resemble real nerds.
They are great nerds. All those 80's movies were full of shite. Real life nerds are serious douchebags who think they know sooo much.


Having said all that. I don't like the direction the show is heading. I liked it much better when the focus was on Sheldon, Leonard and Penny. And Walowitz and Raj were more ancillary. Amy is gross and Bernadette is a bitch.

Mayim Bialik is a super nerd in real life. She breastfed her kid until he was five. Has a Phd in neuroscience. And wrote a book about some kind of strange family bonding, which includes having your kids sleep with you every night. (so much for sex)


The people in the show aren't the funny nrds of the movies, they are our college professors and TA's living their awkward lives.
