Is marrying two of the main characters finally going to make the show funny? Because I've been waiting for that.

I've said it before on fark but snark all you want about BBT it's still more watchable than most other network shows. I've caught snippits of the other shows that are on TV when my wife watches them and I gotta say that they all seem pretty terrible.

Yeah, great. I design MMOs, and have made my living in MMOs for 15 years. I like BBT.

I eat BLTs and shoot RPGs at MIGs. I went to MIT and LOLd ASAP every day. You can ask the CDC. How's that 3PO?

Earguy: dammit, real writing is dead can often be found in books, especially the ones with hard covers. to look for quality writing on the intertubes is sheer folly...

Yeah I'm a physics nerd as a hobby and I'm really an engineer and I don't have any real issues with the show which is directly about physicists and engineers.

I quit watching that damn show after I lost thousands in the stock market.



/stupid physicists and their theoretical financial analysis

Was trapped in an inlaw's living room, and they put this farking show on, telling me "You'll like this: It's about people like you."

I am no longer in contact with this person.

Lt. Cheese Weasel: They FARK need(s) to send that show Lt. Cheese Weasel into a deep oceanic trench, or into the sun. Not funny show Lt. Cheese Weasel is not funny.

FTFY

"Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P. "
/obscure?

sure haven't: It's not the same type of show as Seinfeld. It kinda has to progress a little.

I don't get why this all of a sudden means jumping the shark?? Howard got married, went to space, Sheldon has a girlfriend. SHELDON has a GIRLFRIEND.

I think it's about damn time they stop with the "will they break up or won't they", and just leave them together as a couple.

Sheldon and Penny are the best comedic team in years, not kidding. They always seem to make me guffaw no matter what.

The rest of the cast is mostly useless. Sheldon is one of the great sitcom characters of the 21st century and Penny is the straight man, so when the show is around the two of them it is one of the better episodes.

Nerds whining of steretyping in the age of the internet.

HELP WE'RE BEING OPPRESSED!

/Shut up and take your shots like everyone else pansy!

For some perspective, look what homosexuals have had to endure in mass media. To this day most male homosexual characters are basically mincing nancies that give fashion tips and have the irresistible compulsion to dance whenever here is a beat.

I remember someone on fark calling The Big Bang Theory and The IT Crowd "blackface for geeks." Apparently being a geek means you lack a sense of perspective.

that show totally blows

Still trying to figure out what personality traits must have to enjoy this show.

Actually, Lt is a pretty funny guy.

He just, apparently, has awful taste in sitcoms (and NFL teams)

The show is sort of funny, but I can't take very much of Sheldon's vocal affect.

Say wha?

I thought "The IT Crowd" was revered here.

On what planet is Good Morning Vietnam obscure?

Apparently, mine

/the fact that I spelled her name wrong is an indication of how lovely a set of funbags she owns

BalugaJoe: if they get married then Leonard has to move away from Sheldon and that is the whole point of the show.

Just have Penny move in with Leonard, and Sheldon move to Penny's apartment. That keeps the 3 of them in close proximity, and lots of comedic opportunities with Sheldon adjusting to a new apartment.

Or have Leonard move to Penny's apartment, and Sheldon get Raj as his new roommate.

Actually, filmed before a live audience.  There has occasionally been a laugh when it wasn't intended.

From wiki:
"alongside multi-camera hits such as , , and , which employ live audiences with sweetening performed during post-production. "

I'm not sure how much "sweetening" is involved.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Oops, a little too much sweetening there.

Well it is a shobiz term, for 'add sugar to'.

/Baybrook Mall is in Houston Sheldon, not Galveston!!!

True that Baybrook Mall is in Clear Lake, a Houston suburb, but it's only about 20 miles from Galveston and the closest thing to a real mall for Galveston since the Galvez Mall closed years ago and Mall of the Mainland all but closed too. I grew up on the island and Sheldon's references are usually off. Considering Parsons is from Houston, you'd think he'd work with the writers to get it right. Anyway, more pictures of Kaley please...

I know, and that's what I said to people when we talked about it the next day... (I live in Clear Lake, and, ha, work part time at Baybrook (Lego for the win!)) And I said the same thing, Parsons is from here, you think he would have said something...
It was funny him mentioning it tho... the management at Baybrook went NUTS

/to get all technical... Baybrook was in the county, with a Friendswood zipcode... Houston annexed it along with the neighborhood behind it, but allowed the Friendswood zip to stay... the four corners of Bay Area Blvd and 1-45 belong to 4 different municipitalities...

SithLord: i wouldn't call it jumping the shark. That's the inevitable outcome of the pair. Or she finds out she's pregnant out of wedlock and it ain't Leonard's. But isn't that what this show is about? Enamored nerdy physicist falls for the hot blonde next door?

That's the point of jumping the shark. When the inevitable outcome couple finally couples the show runs out of gas. May not be the case in BBT since the focus is just as often on Sheldon and his man-child antics so the Leonard-Penny romance is a side story not the main event but it definitely has Shark Jump possibility. That's OK though, the show has had a good long run and I'd rather see them move forward so that they are fully together when the show does end rather than some "slap them together at the last minute to wrap it up". Too many shows ruin their premise by stretching it out beyond reason or sense. You cant have sexual tension forever without giving in to it. So put them together and see if the show still has something to say.

Only because it hasn't been posted yet.

Having worked at the school in Pasadena that is were the characters work I can say that they are pretty spot on in being stereotypes. I do find it funny and they actually play down Penny being hot.

The show won't jump the shark when Penny & Leonard get hitched.

It will when Sheldon finally has sex.

ManateeGag: abhorrent1: that show totally blows

good thing for you, there are other shows in television.

Bad thing for me is my wife likes it so I'm forced to watch it at times.

BizarreMan: Last weeks episode with the girls getting into the argument over comic books was priceless. Especially when they walked into the comic book shop and all the guys in there went completely stupid.

It was good to see Captain Sweatpants.

Arent all predators, by definition, lethal to something?

I can't believe Penny lets those nerds have access to her apartment.

Her panties would have all been gone within the first week. Probably the bras, too.

Aaaand now we know the Fark handle of the actor that plays Captain Sweatpants
