The evidence suggests not (although I have a secret penchant for The Big Bang Theory, but I suspect that's just because of the nerd gags).

The Big Bang Theory? Really? It's been recommended to me by various friends and acquaintances. I've watched it and I have no idea why people have recommended it to me. I noticed lots of nerd references, but as for the humour, I didn't find any. The IT Crowd is more my style.


I agree. I find TBBT to be lazy stereotyped comedy, using the same joke templates ad nauseam.

Here are some geeks, they are clever but have poor social skills. They live next to a worldly blonde with nice tits with whom they share communication difficulties.They like comics and video games. There's a jewish one that lives with his overbearing mother, there's an indian one who's painfully shy with an uncertain sexuality and so on and so on.

It's like the writers were all given The Big Book Of Cliches for their birthdays.
