Location: Sacramento, California | I just noticed that there is no thread here for The Big Bang Theory, so I thought I'd start one.
From the first time I heard of the show, I suspected that I would enjoy it, but with my TV watching having slowed down the last couple of years (canceling Pushing Daisies was the last straw between me and my TV!), I just never got around to watching it. While here in Afghanistan, I purchased a DVD pack of the show that had the first three seasons all together, and started watching in my free evenings.
I can't believe I waited so long to start the show! As a fan of both science and science fiction, this show is a schmorgesbord of pop-culture references that seem to be just for me! In fact, with its science and maths humor, and constant SF movie references, I actually wonder what John Q. Public get out of this show? It's a big hit, and I know why I watch it, but what about it appeals to the average viewer? I'm not sure, but I for one am happy for its success, as it means we'll have this show for a few more years, at least.
I highly recommend that you check out this show, if you aren't already watching. |

I did see the clip "Rock paper scisors lizard Spock" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSLeBKT7-sM Love it. Unfortunately I get most of my TV from Hulu and they only have a few full episodes. |

Location: Boston, MA | great show, one of my faves. however current season (fourth) has been very spotty quality wise, some episodes feel somehow dumbed-down where characters are looking more and more like cartoon mad scientists.
i love the show because nerds are hilarious! |

I don't even know how to respond to that. I wish I could read tone here. |

Location: Dallas, Texas | I starting watching Big Bang Theory a little bit ago. It seems that TBS has the show constantly playing so if I can't find something else to watch I know there is a BBT episode I can default to. I enjoy the show quite a bit more than I thought I would. My only complaint is that it's very formulaic. Every episode has to hit certain pre-defined points: Penny's promiscuity, Howard's failure with women (and his mom), Rajesh is shy around women, Leonard is inexplicably good with women, Sheldon is unaware that women exist.... It's still a hoot and you can always count on at least one "bazinga" to get you through. |

The one exception is Raj, who's character has still not been allowed to evolve or chance in any meaningful way. |

I bought my boyfriend a "bazinga" t-shirt a few weeks back, he hates it, but i make him wear it almost everyday haha.

Location: WA | I love this show. I didn't see it when it first started, but just got into it this year. I have since bought 4 seasons on dvd. It just cracks me up. I laughed so hard when Sheldon was playing Red Dead Redemption because he needed to "take a walk to clear his head!" Can't tell you how many times I've gone fishing in a game to relax hehehe I guess that makes me a nerd since I can relate a lot to the show. But oh well :p |
