This show is really awesome it makes us nerds look more cool than we already are (long live nerds!!!), plus all of the characters are so awesome, Sheldon and Raj are definitely the best ones and funniest ones.
:D Every one of them is really funny.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

It's a nice show, but not really funny. It's made me smile a couple of times, but never laugh.
Honestly the humour is staggeringly dumb for being considered a nerd show. Also all the constant obvious fake laughter is somewhat anti climatic, and the pathetic sex jokes make me think it's aimed toward 13 year old virgins
The simpsons and south park are my personal preference atleast ^^

The show is really funny if you are a physicist like me and can find the characters in some of the people arround you.
Then again the "you-have-to-laugh-now-too-because-we-do"-laughter is annoying as hell and takes a lot of the fun out of it again. I still hope that they take that out at some point then it would be great

the show ended up being that sheldon was the nerdiest and most notable character. i wish they would have distributed the stardom, so to speak. he's kind of like homer of the simpsons... he IS the entire show. penny is awesome but it's really about sheldon.

Well even if it is true that there is a live audience, do yo really think that any real person would laugh that loud and that consistently at a comedy show? And even if they did, and all the laughter is 100% real, it doesn't change that fact that it is still a terrible thing that should have completely died off almost a decade ago. It's not the laughter being fake that makes it bad.

Anyway, I like the show. Its not great but its funny enough to be worth my time, although it is probably the worst comedy show that I do follow, just a bit below How I Met Your Mother (as it so happens, the only other show with a laugh track that I do watch).



have you ever been to a live comedy show, like a standup act or something? trust me when you get in a crowd, things that would normally make you just smile slightly at home would have to cracking up. especially when a lot of people probably have a few drinks before they go to watch these things, which makes them immensely funnier. ive gone to live shows of some comedians and even though if i watched them at home i probably would have barely smiled (even though im laughing inside), when im watching the same comedians live i crack up like a madman.

I hate Amy Farrah Fowler, every line cringe worthy. Bring in some new neighbours for new characters, not this "female Sheldon"

Not enough love for Howard on poll (2nd favourite to Sheldon)

I agree. Her lines are either very lame or barely understandable.

Really enjoy the show, but I think they are focussing way too much on Sheldon. I mean, they even added Sheldon 2.0 (Amy Farrah Fowler). Figure it's gonna get boring pretty soon.

And btw, what happened to the girlfriend Leonard had for a while, the doctor? She just disappeared after a couple of episodes as far as I know, or did they explain where she went?

I can't believe Sheldon tops the poll; for me Sheldon ruins this show.
Completely unbelievable character with really lame lines.

He acts as if he's gay. Why do they think lack of social skills = gay? It annoys me. It's probably because the actor that plays him is gay but it's just a massive miscast.
He should be self-conscience yet he's almost flamboyant.
A genius scientist wouldn't act like that.

Apart from him the show is really good.

...like Howard, and Rajesh, and Amy, and Leslie, and most peripheral characters? Really the only somewhat grounded characters are Leonard and Penny, and they are completely unfunny on their own.

It's always interesting getting other people's take because Sheldon's by far and away the most popular character.
Don't know, always came off as an asexual with a possibility of asperger's.

I actually really don't find it funny

And to say anything other than MST3k is the best nerd show ever is borderline offensive. Maybe I need to watch more of Big Bang Theory though...

But it could be even more funny. Imagine putting a character like a young House, perhaps a bit more socially awkward, in the mix. Someone a bit miserable who has funny lines of their own.

Either that or just make Sheldon gay. That would make sense at least.

Oh yeah, it could definitely be a way, way better show. I was just saying that your complaint of Sheldon seemed applicable to a whole bunch of other characters as well. Basically I think this show is a really good premise pulled of really bad. The end result is ok but could have been fantastic in the hands of some really good directors/writers (and making it single camera, no live audience crap).

That pretty much sums up my view too.

Yup, I was wondering how he talked to her when she first came into the room, I thought he got over it, and then when he couldn't talk to her at the end I remembered he already had wine before she came into the room lol

Damn ... stupid season finale ... I want MOAAAAAAAAAR!
