Topic	Nerds saying they "didn't like" or "hate" Big Bang Theory.
Straughan 09/25/22 2:57:55 PM #1:	So I watched a few YT videos on this topic because I thought the show was popular and the idea confozzled me. This is like the 3rd time I've heard this from people online too. I tried watching it a few times myself, but I just didn't jive with the characters. However, I could watch every episode of Seinfeld. (I think that's the part I want to highlight re-reading this.) I loved all the characters so I could enjoy any time they appeared and were in a scene. So I guess what I'm wondering is, do any of you know why some like the show and some hate it? Between the nerd viewing demographics? Any delineation maybe? Is it only certain types of nerds maybe? Let's take another show I didn't watch much. Family Guy. However, when I see it now and then in clips, I can laugh at it. I mean, I don't love it, but it's funny. But when I watch BBT I never really laugh. So yeah... I guess I just can't relate, but I'm interested in the division of those who do and dont like the show and why since it was so popular for so many years. That's interesting. It almost feels like a culture boundary or something. Seems weird that some nerds hate the show and some love it. Videos mention the show Friends a lot when contrasting the show. But I didn't really follow or like Friends either. It was serviceable. I mean, I could watch it if it was on and kinda get into it, but I wouldn't keep watching it. Back then I watched X-Files, Sliders, any Star Trek show especially TNG, DB/DBZ, Full House, Martin, Family Matters, A Different World, Fresh Prince, Home Improvement, Lois & Clark, King of The Hill, Beavis & Butthead, The Simpsons. Then anything older than that except MASH. I'd watch even Nick at Nite stuff. But Big Bang Theory just never did it for me. Is it just because I'm older? I mean I like nerdy shit I guess just not that particular kind. Anyways, I figure you guys might know the simple reason behind it. Maybe you have some good input. People sure are different. When I was a kid I thought there might be a way to please everyone, but if politicians tell us anything, its never more than half at once. --- Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process they do not become a monster. <cite>Straughan posted [p:968285620] in Nerds sayi...
