Sure why not, nothing much else to watch during the day. I used to like watching crime shows but then I figured out that no matter what happens,, basically the killer or whatever won't be caught until the last 10 minutes.

Yeah i love it. I personally think the spin off is gonna do much better though. Just seems to be a little more on the serious side, going by the trailers. But i agree, the laugh track is so 90's. :p

The problem with the show is that without the laugh track it wouldn't be able to fool anybody into laughing with it...

I watch it every other day since it's in syndication. It's not great by any means, but at its worst it's no more deserving of the vehement hatred it gets than any other bland sitcom with a laugh track.

I wouldn't say a "fan" but I don't mind having it on in the background or something. Some of the episodes are actually quite funny but lately it's just a boring ripoff of Friends.

I don't think it deserves all the hate it gets though. It's a sitcom, it's not meant to be high art.

I heard the writers are on standby with a live audience so if they don't laugh they're there to rewrite it so you end up with weird moments like the above.

It entered with good intentions so set people up to get disappointed when the prescripted content ran out and they defaulted to sitcom standard.

If you are going to complain about that then you might as well complain about every sitcom before 2005 being crap. They are all literally tailored to be listened to with a laugh track and removing it makes all of them less funny. It is a technique that has existed since the 50's so why single The Big Bang Theory out for it?

That's only true if you aren't bright enough to be able to tell the difference and just go along with it. Not all laugh track shows are created equally, though most of them are utter garbage made for the lowest common denominator. The only shows with a live audience or laugh track I found watchable, off the top of my head, were Fresh Prince and Seinfeld, but even then I had a tendency to roll my eyes when "everyone laughed" at something stupid.

Your standards seem abnormally high if you can only think of two that are "watchable." In any case, I think the least you could do is refrain from insulting or belittling anyone who does like that kind of stuff.

I like the show. and partially because despite what people think there are people exactly like that in the real world. my mom used to work at a place full of them, said they where super smart when it came to science but things widely considered common knowledge or things of a social matter seemed to baffle them to no end.

I actually never expected her to hook up with anyone. always assumed she would remain that dumb blonde across the hall just so the show had one seemingly normal person in the cast.

Yeah, the only time the show's felt cringey to me were a couple of the times they had penny try to be nerdy or do nerdy things.

thats part of the fun though, seeing people thinking they are smart because they get the jokes. I prefer the more geek humor and by geek I mean comic books and what not. like I did legit laugh when they where discussing green lanterns weakness's and how they changed (once it was wood another time the color yellow) and he replied with a "so I can take out either with a number 2 pencil"

Al joking about Marcy's chest being so flat, the crowd always getting excited when Kelly does anything sexual, Bud's masturbation, Peg's mother being extremely fat, Al hating his life, etc.

I still loved the show, it was the one liners that made it great. like "well i'd say it behind your back but my car only has half a tank of gas" al to a fat woman

I guess I went into it with the wrong mentality.
I was under the impression that it was a pretty sciencey show. And was curious how they could incorporate legitimate science into a sitcom.
But when the "science" was mostly jargon, I lost interest fast.
(Also some fans still act like the show is smart af, and they're smart for watching it. I guess that can be seen as a humorous irony in itself)

That green lantern joke is pretty funny.
