Yeah, I love it! Am watching Season 2 atm.

Although I'm not physicsy/mathsy, I do love biology, so I love the bio references. I lol'd in the episode where Sheldon makes his friends do a quiz about him and asks them to put his favourite amino acid. Haha.

Then I found myself feeling really nerdy when I was singing along to the the theme song, and they got to the line 'The autotrophs began to drool'. And I thought, 'Hang on, that's totally wrong. Autotrophs can't drool, they're plants!' Which I then realised was something that Sheldon would most likely point out. :p

The guy that plays Sheldon (Jim Parsons) was on Dave Letterman the other night, my god he acts like Sheldon in RL it was scary!
Haha, I know! When you watch the interview, it feels like Sheldon's somehow entered the real world...a scary thought. Lol.

Actually, Seasons 2 and 3 got progressively worse. Mostly because they've dumbed all the jokes down a lot, so non-science nerds can understand.

I prefer the new season, I liked how Sheldon and Penny formed a strange but cute friendship. And Wolowitz is just more of a mama's boy lolz

Love this show, I get all the jokes. But IMO season 3 isn't as great as the first two seasons. BTW how freaky is Sheldon's mother!?

I have a friend who is JUST like Sheldon...


In fact the first time he saw the show he walked in and said "Ooooo a Non-neutonian fluid"... about 5 seconds before Sheldon says "It's a non-neutonian fluid"...

His family all laughed at him :D

it is a low quality show

It's always the same:

* Sheldon is confronted with a circumstance that requires logic instead of reading a science book.
* Sheldon fails embarrassingly and talks a lot of geek talk.

Humour is about confounding expectations, not maintaining them.

Newtonian, idiot. You know, Issac Newton?
I don't get what's so geeky about knowing what one is either, it has featured on "kids-science" on Letterman.

I can't believe the hate for Big Bang Theory.

Legendary show :D TV ratings = huge success.

The jokes are hilarious.

You gotta get into the show, to get inside jokes. Sheldon is a gun.

Yeah the science isn't exactly high-tier, but the general population wouldn't get it at all.

But yeah the jokes I don't get a full 'haha' out of, just the odd few situations that are hilarious.

i.e se03ep18 had a joke 'why did the chicken cross the mobius strip?' - 'to get to the same side' - it's one of those, so fuckin bad jokes it's hilarious.
