The Big Bang Theory

[JustJon]

In my watching of NBC pilots thru the TiVo this weekend, the third one I saw was The Big Bang Theory and wanted to warn everyone to not watch that pile of shite. Completely awful, completely unfunny, and a laugh track at the end of every sentence. It just reminded me why I don't watch sitcoms and how stupid the people who make television think the American public is.

[King Imp]

It does look awful, but man Kaley Cuoco looks smoking hot in it.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

thanks Jon

I refuse to watch anything new this year

it all looks crappy

:king:

[JustJon]

It does look awful, but man Kaley Cuoco looks smoking hot in it.

Ok, the only positive thing is how hot she was. Unfortunately, the negatives far outweigh her hotness. I felt my brain melting out of my ears for watching this shite.

[underdog]

I setup a lot of things to record this year, but stayed as far away from this one as possible. It looks fucking horrendous.

[LiddyRules]

Big Bang is CBS.

[JPMNICK]

i never watch any CBS shows.

to me CBS has always been the grandma network. i just feel like all the shows look horrible (filming and picture quality), and none of them ever seem like they would be entertaining to me.

Honestly, with TiVo, I never know what shows are on what channels. The TV just changes automagically for me.

perfect point

maybe Everybody Loves Raymond can be tolerated

but have only watched it since it went to syndication

Their shows (since the Murphy Brown and Designing Women Days)

have been geared to older people who want cookie cutter comedies

:king:

[JPMNICK]

Raymond was unwatchable to me. i can not even tolerate it in small pieces on reruns. i tried to watch it a few times and it is just bad.

I said Tolerable ....

CBS doesnt exist to me during the Week

I dont have it on my Direct TV favorites

also ABC, I hate ABC also Recently

Fox and NBC are the only local channels I watch

:king:

[JPMNICK]

i just remembered I did like King of Queens which originally aired on CBS. i have only watched it on reruns.

[LiddyRules]

i just feel like all the shows look horrible (filming and picture quality), I thought I was the only person who felt this way.

[JPMNICK]

I thought I was the only person who felt this way.

no sir we are in it together. there is something seriously wrong with CBS. maybe it is because it is so low on the bandwidth, but the reception is just never there. if i walk into a room with the TV on, i can always tell if it is on CBS (channel 2 here)

[King Hippos Bandaid]

thats right King of Queens

Not Too Shabby, but only watched on Channel 9 on Syndication

CBS is inferior in every way...

I watched it today as well on my Tivo and agree that the show sucks ass. Plus the second male lead (not Johnny Galecki from Roseanne) is exuding a "David Hyde Pierce vibe" - that basically means that I expect to see a cock in his mouth in a future episode.

[buzzard]

the shows scheduled to premiere this & next week look rotten! I DVR everything anymore.

[pennington]

Agree with "The King of Queens", "Two and a Half Men" is good too. Other than that, I just surf right past CBS.

i don't see how you like king of queens and not raymond. the humor is similar and just done better on raymond. i enjoy both in syndication.

you also do not like arrested development, so your opinion means less and less to me everyday. and to think, on friday night you were my favorite poster there.

Raymond was a stupid fucking show. i dont know how anybody found him funny.

KoQ was funny, but never got into it.

[MisterSmith]

I can't believe the rest of this thread - I think the show must have gotten a lot better since the pilot.

We started watching a few weeks ago on the suggestion of my Brother-in-Law and I really like the show. There is some really funny geek humor and I have found myself laughing out loud many times.

[furie]

yeah, i kind of like the show too

[Don Stugots]

i still hate it but Regina loves it.

[Freakshow]

My roommate's girlfriend watches, so i've caught a few of these. It's not all that bad, the guy who created did Grace Under Fire and something else decent. The turbo nerd kid who is the roommate to the kid from Rosanne was in Garden State as the Knight at medevil times who was boning that one guy's mom. And I saw one of the other guys on an Arrested Development rerun yesterday...

[cougarjake13]

didnt realize this show was still on


and that blonde from 8 rules is on this show

[JDE]

I just had to bump this up, no the show was not great the beginning of the first season, average at best, but since near the end of the first year, and the entire second season, it is as solidly funny as any sitcom on tv.

The episode from last night had laugh out loud moments almost from start to finish, I can't remember the last time a single episode was as funny.

saw an article on slate.com (http://www.slate.com/id/2210635/) where they were talking about how the one guy seems to have asperger's and it reminded me how fez was thinking he had that a whiles back.

Yeah. The first couple episodes were the worst sitcom writing ever. Somehow between then and now the show changed its focus from "Aren't Nerds Hilarious?" to character-based humor.

[JDE]

I did not even realize until now, that Opie brought the show up today at the beginning of the Xm side. Erock did a terrible job of describing it, but if you want to see a funny sitcom, this one is the best current one that I have seen.

[vjr97]

i think the show is funny.the blond girl is cute

Are you serious?!
That fucking theme song is the absolute worst thing on Television ever. Ever.

That show is absolutely, 100% UNWATCHABLE!!!!

[hammersavage]

I tried to give this show a chance but I just think its still to standard sitcom-y and hack. It has moments but then just falls back into a rut. It's not a tenth as humorous or well written as How I Met Your Mother in my opinion.

[Coach]

I like it a lot and I wanna bang the blonde!

[hammersavage]

Well yeah...

I watch How I sometimes, and it's okay, but I think Big is way smarter, and less sitcom-y then How.

The fact is, you will not find a stranger character in all of television then Sheldon, and the way it is written, is both intelligent and each week, true to the character.


Oh and who cares about a theme song? The show is just plain funny, if you don't think so, oh well.

[hammersavage]

I like Sheldon, he was the best part about it. But there is no way in the world HIMYM is more sitcom-y. BBT was standard shoot, laugh track, story line. HIMYM uses flashbacks, voiceovers, references, callbacks. You can like BBT more but its 100 times more of a sitcom than HIMYM.

Yes you are right then about the standard old time sitcom, what I meant was more in terms of the writing and how different the show is. Whenever I watch How, it just reminds me of many different shows, where as Big is just not like anything else on tv.

[hammersavage]

I couldn't possibly disagree more. I don't care which you find funnier but the writing angle is absurd.

[JDE]

I couldn't possibly disagree more. I don't care which you find funnier but the writing angle is absurd.

It's okay, we can agree to disagree on this one, I think Sheldon is the most unique character on television, and for that I give credit to the writers, along with the actor.


I will try and catch How more, to see what you were talking about though.

[hammersavage]

I think Sheldon is the actors creation. I heard he has a lot of input and pretty much created him.

[mikeyboy]

I've seen a limited number of episodes of each show. Both make me miss Arrested Development.

The American public is that stupid.

I once held out hope too.

[angrymissy]

Um, this show is hilarious give it a chance. I discovered it by accident and it's my new favorite.

[Bossanova]

I have to say its one of my favs on tv.

[KnoxHarrington]

This might be one of the most frustrating shows on TV. It has the potential to be fresh, creative, and something new, but it goes for the easy sitcom, laugh track payoff every time.

And the character of Sheldon is quite possibly the least funny anywhere. He should have the shit beaten out of him constantly.

you may have no sense of humor. sheldon is the funniest shit anywhere.

[pennington]

I have to agree. Sheldon is one of the most unique characters in years.

[disneyspy]

[IamFogHat]

[disneyspy]

i wonder if the character of sheldon is loosely based on fez

[disneyspy]

i dont think you understand what fixed means

[KnoxHarrington]

Well, it was created and is produced by the same shitmeister who gave us Two and a Half Men.

[Snacks]

i think the show has been great this season. i dont see the comparison to 2 1/2 men. nothing close.

[Justice4all]

Did I pass?

You and Tom can go back to laugh tracks, geek talk and forced canned humor now!

SOOOO fucking awful. Are you really pushing this as good, much less average? It's unbearable.

[disneyspy]

i like 30 ROCK,CHUCK,RUNNING WYLDE,FRINGE and THE EVENT on network tv,everything else blows in my esteemed opinion

and holy shit it that SHIT MY DAD SAYS a pile of crap

[newport king]

spoon speaks the truth. this show is garbage. i watched that clip, penny used to be a good looking girl.

[newport king]

and as long as we're nominating shows we like, i'd like to throw in "the league" on FX.

I agree. It's a very well written show and fucking hilarious.

[TheGameHHH]

there is not one single funny thing that's ever happened on "the league", and this comes from a guy that spends about 90% of his life thinking about fantasy sports.

Ruxin is my favorite character he has had some of the funniest situations. Not to mention his wife looks incredible, even better then she did on Earl!

[StanUpshaw]

I downloaded this show and buzzed through it pretty fast. The laugh track was a hurdle to overcome, but it's a pretty solid show. Sheldon is a national treasure.

Not a laugh track. That's an actual audience laughing at some of those lame jokes.
