CW_McGraw 04/17/24 7:16:52 PM #1:	Having now been exposed to Big Bang Theory reruns on TBS, I can safely say the writers at least had the occasional good line for Sheldon. The other characters do little for me, and it was dumb to give them wives and girlfriends, but there's about a line or two per episode that gets a sensible chuckle from me. --- http://i.imgur.com/hso8CUi.gif <cite>CW_McGraw posted [p:979966690] in Big Bang T...

spanky1 04/17/24 7:20:34 PM #4:	I've always said the hate was way overblown for that show. Like, everyone seemed to go on about the laugh track, but that's literally every single sitcom ever. Almost kinda feels like it was just the generational shift of younger people no longer enjoying sitcoms on a fundamental level, and BBT was the sacrificial sheep because it was big at the time. --- http://i.imgur.com/DCjoiZ0.jpg https://www.deviantart.com/fuee/art/spanky1-811230163 <cite>spanky1 posted [p:979966753] in Big Bang T...

Leonard was a nasally bitch, and they let him know, and I like that, especially considering he was probably the shows protagonist --- LSU Tigers - 2023 National Champions 1991, 1993, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2009, 2023 <cite>ShadowMan033 posted [p:979967065] in Big Bang T...
