I only really saw season 1-3 of Big Bang Theory I think. Were the later seasons that bad?

I guess it depends on what you thought of the earlier seasons. I couldn't stand any of it.

Laugh track made BBT hard to watch.

There is no laugh track for Young Sheldon.

It's not great, but it's watchable.

Actually I think adding a laugh track could make young Sheldon better. It currently has the feel of a dramedy which is ridiculous for this type of show.

TBBT usually had some kind of structure where it felt like the jokes were escalating to a ridiculous scenario, like with most sitcoms.

Watching Young Sheldon sometimes just feels like watching a set of scenes that aren't trying to be anything or tell any kind of story, followed by credits.

The point of a laugh track is to trick you into laughing at bad comedy. It fools your brain into chuckling at what are essentially non-jokes.

If you have basically the same bad comedy only without the laugh track, it's objectively worse because then you're just either bored or cringing.

The ideal scenario would be to avoid both shows entirely and just watch something better.

Yeah, unlike BBT, it looks like it might actually be funny. I keep meaning to track it down.

Even without the laugh track, BBT was hard to watch.

The entire character of Sheldon is basically "haha, autistic guy is awkward"
Lazy and slightly offensive

Where was it stated he's autistic on either show?

It was pretty funny in the beginning but I think it took a huge nosedive once they all got girlfriends who came over everyday.

The show worked a lot better when you had the four guys and Penny.

No. People just like to hate on popular things. It did get pretty repetitive and tired by the end, but that's every show that goes on for a while. I'd say if you enjoyed the first few season you'd probably be fine up to 5-6.

I actually feel rhe opposite. I thought BBT was kinda stupid. Young Sheldon has heart. And it stokes my nostalgia for the early 90s

Without the laugh track, it was hard to tell where the jokes were supposed to be. It seemed to be mostly references for the sake of being references with no real substance or laughing at the main characters because they're nerdy. It got old fast. Futurama did it way better.

I don't know; I feel like the situations that get set up at the start of an episode always get some kind of resolution by the end.

I also find myself more interested in where everyone's life on Young Sheldon is going than I did with TBBT.

BBT was just a very lazy take on "nerds do nerdy stuff and it's funny".

Sheldon is every single negative geek stereotype mixed together and turned up to 11. Someone like that would be completely friendless in real life.
