Theyre broken up for 10 episodes. Platonic friends for one of them before getting back together in the end of the 10th episode. Then sleep together the next episode.

The only person Sheldon doesnt have a negative episode with really is Penny because she acts like a big sister to him.

Yeah, TBBT has issues but at least be honest about them.


So it was 10 episodes? Who fucking cares? Sheldon still ends up getting his relationship back & having it prosper-- that was my whole point. He's a giant pain in the ass to everybody for the entire damn show with no real consequences to his terrible behavior.

Amy literally breaks up with him because he goes like 3 seasons of barely being physical with her and like 3 episodes after they get back together, he sleeps with her.

Like yeah, maybe he doesnt get the comeuppance that a lot of people want him to get every episode hes a dick, but to say he doesnt have any negative impacts is laughable.


True, but the negative effect only lasts 3 episodes & Sheldon is an enormous pain in the ass to everyone around him for basically the entire show.

I mean they referenced Loom for Christ's sake. Someone on the writing team was a real nerd

There's clearly some love there. Abed was all Nic cage and Farscape. You could tell the writers weren't nerds.


This is maybe the most hilariously wrong opinion I've ever seen you give.
A) Dan Harmon is a huge & vocal nerd.
B) Community had entire episodes centered on 'nerd topics' like the gang getting together to play D&D, making jokes like Chang cosplaying as a Drow that only hardcore nerds would get. (Which is why idiots had it pulled from streaming)
C) Or the entire episode that is a GI Joe cartoon that Jeff is hallucinating.
D) Or the entire episode that revolves around the group playing a videogame to help Pierce get his inheritance.
E) Those types of theme episodes go so far down the 'nerd' rabbit hole whereas TBBT would have...
UnfairRepresent posted...
Not only that, a lot of the jokes are literally just "Hey look! He likes something Nerdy!" with no actually funny humor or real punchline


Done just that. Obviously there was a nerd or two they consulted with for TBBT, but the humor is clearly aimed at non-nerds.

In TBBT, the joke is that Sheldon is a nerd. It's, 'Look, he has a Superman lunch box,' that's the joke.
In Community, Abed is a smart person who uses his skills to show the audience another perspective. The joke isn't that he has social problems from a disability, but the way other people treat him. The joke is rarely, 'Look, I'm non-social.' And it's better written...


Couldn't agree more. TBBT might have been more popular, but the 'comedy' of it is always clumsy and boring.

iirc, it's a spiritual successor to Suikoden.


Almost certainly. I'm keeping my expectations low though as 'spiritual successor' has too often been applied to things that I didn't like.

The thing is, no matter how good it is, it won't continue on all the lore & world building that Suikoden 6 would have access to, which is part of what I loved so much.

Yeah, the collective bargaining is going to change soon, but we might miss an entire season because the teams have basically stopped paying for established players (the ones who weren't getting fucked over by the 6 year service time deal before free agency) and the players union absolutely despises the owners.
