The Big Bang Theory

Being a physicists, I'm unsure of what to think of this show; however, the chemistry between the "nerds" is terrific! It is great to turn on a show that helps bring me back down to earth. The show may be a tiny bit unrealistic when it comes to how "nerds" actually behave, but you don't have to be a nerd to appreciate the science humor. In the same respect, the behavior of the "regulars" is a little exaggerated, but is done in such a way which helps accentuate the characters' contrast.

So what is to lose from watching this show?

You WILL be laughing by the end!

(The End)

While The Big Bang Theory is far from one my favorite comedies, it's still a pretty funny show that's worth watching. There's a reason it's on all the time and that's because people seem to love it. It's one of those shows where you can have it on in the background while you do other things around the house. The cast (Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Melissa Rauch & Mayim Bialik) is what makes this show so funny, there's not a bad character on the entire show and all bring something to it. Even all the supporting characters will make you laugh. If you're the one person who hasn't seen this yet all you have to do is turn on your tv because it'll be on somewhere.

The Big Bang Theory is one of the more popular comedies of all-time! Every character on the show is almost as equally funny as the others, everyone has their favorites but all are funny. The show keeps it focus on the core four characters and their significant others. You really end up caring about what happens to these hilarious characters. Whether you like this show or not there's no denying that it's obviously one of the most popular sitcoms of all-time, all you have to do is look at the ratings, how much the cast was paid and considering it's on all the time. While I wouldn't exactly put it among my favorite comedies of all time, I would say that it still a pretty fun show. You know the show is popular that when it was ending it felt like it was an end to an era.

I miss the show when it was about nerdy men nerding over science experiments and awkward women encounters. It then after about five seasons turned into a 'Please the Wife- Soap Opera'.

I hate Bernadette's character and how much she belittles Howard like a strict mother, constantly telling him what to do and making him a puppet to fill her needs. Howard has always been a funny character but being in that relationship made his humour all caged.

Sheldon reminded me of Spock, an awkward intellect who's spot-on logic and obsessive compulsive disorder made it an inspiration even at the weirdest of moments. Although throughout the series you notice Sheldon starts to slowly lose his Sheldon'ness and starts to become more human in a sense. Which made it slightly displeasing to what we loved Sheldon for in the first place.

Penny being the stereotypical sex driven blonde was ok, her beauty made the boys more awkward like nerds would be. Sheldon's intelligence overpowering hers is what also made it funny for social awkardness, him constantly correcting her and her replying sarcasticly showed the difference between the two. Her and Leonard's relationship was not a problem, but when they all had relationships, it became an occurring thing to have at least one relationship problem in an episode and it made the viewing cringy.

The show still has a decent episode everynow and then but it's not as funny as the first few seasons.

I thoroughly enjoyed seasons 1 to 5 with some of the most intellectually-stimulating and subtle humour since Seinfeld. Like physicist Sheldon "embracing the chaos" or using classical conditioning techniques on his roommate's girlfriend. But you did need a modicum of (popular) science knowledge to get the jokes, so apparently by season 6 they rolled out the usual array of mindless comedy writers to turn it into a yawn-worthy series of relationship clichés and rake in more viewers. When binge-watching it, you also notice disturbing patterns like the demeaning portrayals of both the men and women scientists, for different reasons. Grew up around researchers and no, they were not men-children who spent their time at the comic book store. Actually at my Dad's university they were pretty much all stable family types with successful careers, and there were a few loners, too. Like pretty much any group of humans. Lest people think this review is unfair, I have seen all seasons, hoping for a return to the cleverness of seasons 1-5 but alas it shall not be. This is one series that unfortunately will not go out with a Big Bang, but with a fizzle.
