The Big Bang Theory (http://www.tv.com/the-big-bang-theory/show/58056/summary.html?q=&tag=search_results;title;1)
actually quite liked this. wasn't trying to be anything special and more importantly didn't treat it's audience like idiots. Sheldon looks like he's gonna get the killer lines and darlene's boyfriend looks like the straight man. the two friends were pretty funny too. CBS have given this a great slot between how i met your mother and two and a half men, so they must want big things from it. definitely watch again.:thumbs:
didn't treat it's audience like idiots.
Unless you count a laughter track to some incredibly insipid material as treating us as idiots. Sadly it's par for the course in a lot of sitcoms nowdays. The actual laugh content is very low, I mean they should be able to come up with one laugh in 20mins of a pilot. They seemed to feel that throwing a few "wacky" characters in there is enough

Humour is subjective. Especially Geek humour.
I watched the first 2 episodes of these last night and laughed throughout - especially the 2nd one.
Yes, the laugh track was intrusive but if that's the worst thing that can happen to someone's day, then it's a pretty sweet life.
First funny new show since How I Met Your Mother.
It wasn't intrusive, they just needed it to cover up the lack of funny bits.
I'm not sure why you say it was "Geek humour". Humour is humour, it's all pretty much the same thing
andybhoy
06-10-2007, 11:01
Humour is not pretty much all the same thing, otherwise we'd all laugh at exactly the same jokes. Is all music the same?
As I said, it was funny throughout - it just isn't your type of humour.
My type of humour? Well yeah, I tend not to find jokes that a 7 year old would roll their eyes at that funny. I expect it on a lolly stick but not on a tv sitcom. It's not just this show, a lot of shows (and films) are just not funny and they compensate with a laughter track (which actually works on some people) or "goofy" characters.

ShakeyJake

I'm finding it watchable so far, but I wouldn't go so far to say it was funny. Didn't realise it replaced the Class, which I also found watchable, but not particularly funny :D

Just read that this has been picked up for a full season, have to agree I did find it very funny especially the second episode. And it was nice to see Darlene from Roseanne make a appearance.
Quite funny so far. I think geeks will find it funnier though. My favourite moment so far has been the Superman conversation in episode 2.
BTW, I consider myself a geek. I'm not saying geeks will find it funnier than me.
chrismohan
25-10-2007, 21:49
I find myself pleasantly surprised. I had initially slated this in my blog but I'm surprised (and delighted) that some of the jokes are quite high-brow and not catering purely to the science people are weird humour which I fully expected.
The superman joke was a classic and is a good example of this.
Episode 5 was by far the funniest tho..
I saw the advert for this on E4 and it looked funny, so I watched some, and I think it is pretty funny.

Pretty funny show, although one of the lead character's is really unlikeable (Sheldon)
I think it starts on Channel 4 on Thursday night.
watched up to ep5
not the greatest sitcom ever made, but the geek in me really likes it
(unlike Carpoolers which is ****)

just found all the characters annoying (even Jerry O'Connoll)

quite liked it when they sing on the way to work though
maybe I'll give it another go

My favourite has to be the one where they open with them playing some LAN game on their laptops. But the best episode is the one where Raj goes on a date, very funny.
Stumbled on this show halfway through an episode on E4 and found it pretty funny.
Have caught up on all the episodes and while some are definitely better than others, overall I'm enjoying it.
I love how it's a Roseanne reunion. We've got Darlene's boyfriend, Darlene herself and also Jackie! I'm waiting for Dan or D.J. to show up next!
This would be better without the laughter track. I used to enjoy Friends up until series 7 but it ruined it for me. It's a shame they don't make these shows without a laughter track on DVD cause they ar ewatchasble but not with a laughter track.
What happened to the live studio audiences?
nwgarratt
25-02-2008, 15:07
I am enjoying this as well. I am only up to episode 3 so far as I watch it on E4/Ch4. I can always watch anything with Kaley in it.

I recently watched a few episodes of Red Dwarf which did not have a laughter track and it just seemed really weird, I think some thing like Big Bang works with a laughter track.

20-04-2008, 14:13
Yes, I'm still watching it. Find it funny in places and worth watching rather than the best comedy ever made.

20-04-2008, 20:06
The newer episodes have not been as funny as the previous ones Sheldon is now bordering on annoying rather then funny, although I did enjoy the episode where they had to lie to penny.
Also it is nice to see that E4 is so close to US pace.

I think the opposite!
The past few epsiodes have been extremely funny, especially episode 14 with the 2 teams, loads of lol moments in it :lol:

This is a show I totally dismissed at first (well it is from the people who make Two And A Half Men :gag:) but it has definitely grown on me - I think Raj is the best character but they tend to put him in the background.
zantarous
23-04-2008, 20:13
Yeah he is more like the comic relife when needed but he and Howard steal the show.
If epsiode 14 is the this weeks epsiode then I haven't seen it yet, but even if the show is not as funny as it was to begin with this and How I met you mother are two shows that are on the top of my watch list each week.
13 this week isn't it? the quiz teams one yeah?
thought 12 was weak but the rest have been brilliant. obviously helps to be a geek yourself.
dvds2000
23-04-2008, 21:13

I thought it was a nice end to the season. I think there's quite a lot of potential now that Penny and Leonard are going out.

A: I can't believe they ended it there, it almost felt like there was another 10 minutes or so to go, but a very good episode.
B: I am not so sure that getting them together so early is a great idea then again having season after season of Lenard pinning for Penny would get boring.
I really enjoyed this series. Weird ending it 17 episodes into a run though. Not quite sure where things will go in the next season though.

Sara Gilbert Makes a Bigger Bang on CBS Sitcom
080809bigbang_saragilbert.jpg
Sara Gilbert in The Big Bang Theory by Justin Lubin/CBS
The geek squad groweth. Sara Gilbert, who guested a few times during The Big Bang Theory's inaugural season, has been bumped up to full-fledged series regular status for Season 2.
At last month's Comic-Con, series cocreator Chuck Lorre revealed that Gilbert would be back for "a bunch more episodes," but he must have since decided that nerdesse Leslie Winkle is truly needed in the mix — especially since it sounds like Leonard might still be on the market. (See this week's Mega Minute vodcast for more on that.)
Of course, Gilbert and Johnny Galecki (aka Leonard) previously played love interests on Roseanne.

ok, so season two started last night and it was pretty good i thought. sheldon is really the stand out character, he just kills me. jim parsons is really quite brilliant in this role:notworthy
it looks like they're already pulling out of the leonard/penny thing as it was obvious it would ruin the dynamic of the show.
kaley looks devastating as usual. christ she is smoking hot.:luv::doh:
Sheldon trying to keep the secret was brilliant. His facial ticks are so funny. Reminds me of the gameshow episode from Season 1 where he just can't comprehend not knowing the answer to a question.
it looks like they're already pulling out of the leonard/penny thing as it was obvious it would ruin the dynamic of the show.
I'm not so sure. There's plenty of mileage in the relationship, and I think if they cut off any idea of romance then it kills the dynamic in a completely different way.
chrismohan
23-09-2008, 19:35
just watched it and I thought that Jim Parsons performance was one of the finest comedic performances I've seen in years.
From the inane folding of the clothes, to the facial ticks and the valium induced confession, it was fantastic. All done with a straight face.
Penny / Leonard, meh dont really care about them aside from Ms Cuoco's obvious charms. They are just a vehicle for more Sheldon and Wolowitz.

This is by no means the perfect sitcom, but it's vastly underrated and I genuinely think that Sheldon is one of the finest comedy creations of the last ten years.
The season opener was ok, enjoyed Sheldon's "I'm Batman".....

never seen these before but ordered as it was £6.50 inc del :)
Was surprised that Sheldon wasn't so picky about everything at the various apartments as he usually only sits in one place etc.

i had to watch that scene a couple of times as i simply kept forgetting to listen to any dialogue.
My only real complaint with this show is Raj still not being able to talk to Penny unless he's drunk.
Not too bad this week. Some dodgy outfits on Penny, though one did emphasise her breasts which do seem to be getting slightly bigger.
Would really like to see a season finale where Sheldon and Leslie end up sleeping together for whatever reason and the aftermath......their hate/hate relationship seems to be going that way in my opinion.
simonmac
06-11-2008, 07:05
OK I hate to say it but I'm getting a little bored as it's turned into the Sheldon show and to be honest there is only so much you can laugh at his obliviosness! There seems to be no need for any of the other characters except Penny and that's just foe eye candy!!!!
I'll keep watching in the hope it gets better

Good episode. Show I look forward to the most every week now. Shame they couldn't have done more with the model house.
They've made Sheldon such an irritating person that I just don't understand why the other guys put up with him. What do they get out of their friendship with him?
MrHat001
12-11-2008, 15:57
Yeah, he's gone from being a geek with a few annoying personality traits to a control-freak that the others fear (or at least don't dare antagonise). Makes him a lot less likeable than the other guys.
yeah, Sheldon is just becoming a prat the others have likeable geek tendencies whereas more and more sheldon is douche.
It's a nice little show otherwise.

Another fine episode this week although the ending was a bit similar to one from S1.
Interesting uptake on the rock/scissors/paper game.
Nice to see Leonard getting lucky again. whether it will last is anyone's guess.
The girl is the main star from Less Than Perfect. I thought this episode was a return to form after a recent lull. The letter right at the end was class. For those who didn't spot it:
Dear George Lucas,
May I call you Mr Lucas? On behalf of the writers of The Big Bang Theory I would like to thank you for your astounding body of work, which has awakened the child within us and unleashed our dreams. That being said, we hope you don't take offense at our good-natured jest regarding your most recent animated efforts. Yes they were cheap shots, but we can't help but hold you to a higher standard - a standard of your own making. In closing, we are all looking forward to Indiana Jones 5 - The Curse of the Golden Catheter. Oops, sorry again.
Very truly yours,
The Writers
PS To William Shatner, director of Star Trek 5.

I liked the discussion regarding Star Trek 5 and Howards mum is always a good laugh.
I missed that letter. Brilliant!
I really liked this episode and thought it had a higher than average geek reference. I liked the Clone Wars joke which put me in the mood for Robot Chicken's AWESOME second Star Wars special that I watched next.
Had a little Big Bang Theory the last 2 days and caught up with the first 9 eps of the 2nd season ... Penny in HD :eek:

Another good episode this week. Don't find Sheldon annoying either, he's always been completely anal about things.
They really need to get rid of Raj not being able to talk to girls now, it's getting boring and he's great character who can't be used in a scene with Penny.

Glad to see they are back on track and not revolving the whole show around Sheldon, loved Penny's "You had sex?" Then looking at her watch :lol:
Found Sheldon to be quite annoying in the bit before the start credits.
Nice lines at the canteen table and loved the bit with the laryngitis and the laptop.
The highlight of this weeks episode had to be Sheldon's reaction to Penny's present. :lol:
I've been watching this on Channel 4's website during my lunch at work and am hooked! My colleagues peer over at me when I lol. When it first came on TV I wasn't too impressed but now the jokes are funny and they've settled into their characters and given them real personalities.

It seemed like it was a Christmas episode from season one.
The girlfriend still has not turned up again yet, seems quite strange now as it has been a couple of episodes with no mention of her. It is like she never happened.
Your right, I'd completely forgotten about her.
They split up even though they apparently had break-up sex. I'm assuming this caused us viewers to then jump into a parallel universe where these events never happened.
Usual thing with US comedy shows. Bring some love interest in and then discard without a trace after a few episodes eg Helen Baxendale and Paget Brewster's characters in Friends.

This weeks episode (US) is possibly the best yet, Leonard's mother and Sheldon together were excellent and the scene with Leonard in bed with Penny was one of the funniest yet :lol:

Definetly one of the best eps laugh out loud funny especially Lenord's mums assesment of Wallowitz and Raj
I think the show has been consistently brilliant.. This week's episode was excellent. This is one of the shows I look forward to the most at the moment. :thumbs:
Did expect Sheldon and the mother to end up in bed although the scene where they were pondering whether or not they should do something made it fairly obvious that wasn't going to happen.
Nice bra on Penny in bed :)
I showed an episode to a engineer friend and he didnt like it. Thought it was ridiculously stereotyped especially Howard.
I think its great and this last episode I was half expecting to find out that she was Sheldons mother.

Just had a massive catch up last night, am loving this series now its moved past the overly Sheldon focused episodes, though Lenny was going go finally get his end away with Penny but soo close, Love the Mrs Wolowitch/Lesley interactions in the lastest :lol: shame next weeks is the last in the series (US), anyone know is S3 is planned?

Anyone seen this week's episode? I think it was one of the best yet.
"Everything is better with Bluetooth."
Good el, last weeks was better though!
"I have eleven hours with her in a confined space. Unless she's willing to jump off a moving train and tuck and roll down the side of a hill, she will eventually succumb to the acquired taste that is Howard Wolowitz."
Or 2x15 with Lenards mother.

Oh yes.... !
Very funny this week as well.
"Well DTS has more low end soo....... okay" I think that's the best line delivery Leonard has ever done in the show. The stuff between Sheldon and Penny was good this week also.
I thought it was probably my favourite episode of Seson 2 so far, I always love the interaction between Penny and Sheldon.
Plus this was classic
Wolowitz: "Penny; Let me take this opportunity to point out that you are looking particularly ravishing today."
Penny: "Not with a thousand condoms, Howard."
Wolowitz: "So there is a number."

Good episode again this week although the comic book story was pretty much identical to a recent episode of Heroes. Same with the ending - they've done that before during the Halloween episode.
Enjoyed the oblivious coffee bit.
Thought this was one of the best episodes of the season. The geek reference quotient was particularly high. :)
Penny is the blue dress look great, she has amazing thighs :luv:
Summer Glu was cute as hell as well, she has such beautiful big eyes and a cute nose.
Great show over all and got over the "Typical, stereotyping geeks again" as i class myself as one and aren’t useless socially like this lot. But got into it and found it really funny. I'm ashamed to say i understand a lot of the physics stuff they chat about but a few times it turns into 'trekbabble' and it's just non-sense.
I wish they just get penny and leo together and stick with it. It would be nicer to see it buck a trend of US comedies and have a successful relationship work for once. I think i would be board of seeing another season of penny and a parade of men and leo pining away until he gets over it, then penny suddenly pining for leo out of the blue, they've done that for 2 seasons in a row now.
I've love you tell you what I thought of the new episode but I was distracted by a couple of things......

I've heard they start dating proper this season. You get your wish. When I saw the bit at the end I though they are going to have one of those "getting over the weirdness" episodes. They did that in Friends a couple of times.
Good opener with the "Toy Story" gag being the biggest :lol: moment for me.

Loved Sheldon's positive reinforcement stuff, and goth Wallowitz.

The positive reinforcement thing I got from the first chocolate being offered but did find the goth bit funny (albeit the goth thing being the usual cliched way!)

He'd been drinking, which has been explained before as the only way he's been able to do it.
He still wasn't able to talk to Penny at the start of the episode.

08-10-2009, 10:12
In Raj's case though, he doesn't need to be drunk, only for beer to have passed his lips. It's a psychological thing rather than a physical thing. He could have only had one bottle of beer. Plus light beer could mean low alcohol too.
Yeah,
this was confirmed in the episode with Summer Glau in it, he was drinking alcohol free beer without knowing and could talk to her, and then when he found out he couldn't speak.
This weeks was the best of the season so far. Loads of laugh out loud moments.
I did love that 'montage'

Superb episode. Not least for Penny's post-coitus outfit.
The montage was awesome though!!
finally after 2 and a bit seasons of nerdy facts and figures etc etc I spotted a nerd mistake...
At the beginning Sheldon says he doesn't understand the film as they were told not to feed the Gremlins after midnight
And as we all know you are not meant to feed the Mogwai after midnight otherwise they BECOME Gremlins...
HA
sad I know but I am constantly impressed by the attention to nerd-detail so I like to pick things out hehe
(actually come to think of it I am pretty sure I spotted a dodgy trek reference in Season 2.. so forget this post!)
The thing that always confused me about Gremlins was he was told not to feed Mogwai after midnight - but not when he could feed him again.
Shouldn't he have been told "Don't feed Mogwai between Midnight and about half 8ish" ?

Howard's girlfriend was very hot in a geeky kind of way.

Nah it'll have to be Mr Nimoy. Surely if there is anyone Sheldon worships it MUST be Spock! Add to that a possible 2 Leonards joke and it'll be Trektastic fun :)

From the CEO of the company on their forum :
"There’s been a bunch of discussion here about why we’ve ended InDigital, and I just want to set the record straight.
Although InDigital has been a fun show, as Revision3 has grown we’ve realized that the best way to move forward is to have all of our in-house shows produced in our new facilities in San Francisco. We’re building a new studio that will give us tremendous economies of scale and competitive advantage, but it is located here in the bay area (see more on the Revision3 Gazette, and watch the studio being constructed live via our studio cams).
We’ve been clear with Hahn for almost a year that he would need to move to San Francisco to continue working at Revision3, and producing InDigital. Back in July, Hahn decided not to move to San Francisco, and we realized that InDigital could not proceed without Hahn.
Although we considered continuing InDigital in San Francisco, with Jessica Corbin, Wil Wheaton and Patrick Norton, we realized that it would be fairest to Hahn – who created the show – and to our viewers if we developed a new show that included some of the best of InDigital, but was able to chart its own course."

Yes, great episode. Howard did well there, I thought that girl was much hotter than Sackoff. She's always looked a tiny bit manish in the looks department, more so on Battlestar than in that bathtub I'll admit.
Judging from my laughing, Sheldon's radio broadcast will be a stand out moment for the year.

Agreed about this weeks, another extremely funny episode this week, I do think it works better when it isn't 'the sheldon show' and the other characters get a little extra screentime.
The radio scene in particular must be one of the funniest things I've seen all year

Sackoff looked better then she ever did on BSG, but still too manish for me. You can tell that Howard's gf could probably scrub up nice with a make over, i just couldn't take my eyes off the size of her boobs!! :n0rty:
i think starbuck is in the next episode.
I was genuinely confused when I read this, as I assumed it was something about coffee, but now that I've seen the episode and read the posts about it, I understand that it's the name of a character from some scifi show. D'oh!

Good episode. Though the Starbuck scene would have played out better if they hadn't made her say 'masturbatory'. The fact it was a fantasy and the soap gag at the end was enough of a hint IMO.
Anyone think that Howard is a musical bloke in real life? It looked like he was actually playing the piano part, and when they were all playing Guitar Hero in a previous episode he could twirl his drumstick really well too!
