I\u2019ve been meaning to post something about The Big Bang Theory for a while now but it\u2019s taken me \u2018till now to really understand what it is about the show that makes me uncomfortable. I\u2019m not exactly a believer in the whole \u201conly write about the things you like, don\u2019t trash the things you don\u2019t\u201d trend which seems to be plaguing comments sections in negative articles lately, but I wanted to be able to really examine why I don\u2019t like TBBT rather than just slagging it off. My main questions being – Why don\u2019t I like this anymore? Why do I feel uncomfortable watching it? And why do I get so annoyed when I see people sing its praises online? The thing which really sparked this post was seeing a raft of comments on Facebook, below the last round of voting in Television Without Pity\u2019s Tubey Awards, claiming The Big Bang Theory to be \u201cthe best comedy on TV\u201d. This made me angry so instead of posting an impulsive comment calling out their bad taste which I\u2019d probably regret later, I decided to really analyse why seeing comments like that made me so mad when previously, although I didn\u2019t really love the show, I\u2019d never considered myself as disliking The Big Bang Theory.<\/p>\n

Hell, I even have season one on dvd, it\u2019s sitting right between Battlestar Galactica and Bored To Death in my alphabetised collection.<\/p>\n

And here, I think, is where my problem with The Big Bang Theory lies\u2026<\/p>\n

This is a good write up of why I too dislike The Big Bang Theory. When customers ask me if I watch it, I tell them that the show seems to be written by someone who doesn\u2019t actually know any nerds but only knows stereotypes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
