The Big Bang Theory - It's over now

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

That description of The Big Bang Theory is the only good thing Maddox is responsible for. Right on the nose, like a blind man trying to sniff cocaine.

I was trying to figure out where I heard that from. He's responsible for more good things than just that, but none of them make up for the shitty things he's done.

I hated the show even when it first came out (I was in high school at the time), mainly because it caused a bunch of normies to start referring themselves as “nerdz xD” back in the day, even though just a couple of years before they had no issues bullying speds who were into weird shit like anime and history.

If I was running this show, I would end it by turning Sheldon into a hardcore fundie. (I've only seen like 2 episodes, but I'm assuming he's a staunch atheist?) It's the ultimate troll way to end a show called "the Big Bang Theory," regardless.

They should shoot and kill everyone on the show for the last episode.

It's about fucking time. This show was incredibly unfunny and annoying, and it's about time it went the way of the dodo.

I bet any of you 10 dollars that after a few years off the air, people will remember it with disgust mostly.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

It was time and it has been time for a while now.

I don't hold any malice towards the show, and it was funny in its earlier seasons...but like most comedy shows, it overstayed its welcome and got to a point where it became a lifeless shell of its former self.

I never subscribed to the "Black Face for Nerds" criticism that it always got, mainly because I've gone to cons myself and I've seen what uber-nerds are like...yeah guys, based on my experience, I'd say they went easy on them, lol. Still though, we are at a point where the show has been on the air for over a decade and now these guys are either in or close to their 40s and they still act like this are still basically in the same place they were in at the start of the series. Now its getting kind of weird. Yeah there has been character development, but the fact that they still live in the same apartment building and it took Sheldon and Amy so long to get married tells me that they are somewhat unwilling to shake up the status quo.

But like I said, this happens to a lot of comedy shows that stick around too long. Simpsons is the prime example, Family Guy followed suit, Happy Days was probably one of the earliest examples of it, and even Archer (which just a couple years ago was my favorite show on TV) has fallen to the wayside.

12 seasons is a pretty long run by sitcom standards. Friends had 10 seasons, Cheers and Frasier had 11 each, Fresh Prince of Bel Air only 6.

I don't have the white-hot hatred for this show that a lot of people seem to, but I've seen enough to know that it's just not very good. People kept telling me that I ought to watch it and I'd really love it. When I said that no, it was shit, people would say something like "Oh it gets better around the fourth season" or something like that. The trouble I had was that all the nerdy jokes were interchangeable. It didn't matter what Sheldon said, just that it sounded sciencey.

Basically, Spaced was a better sitcom about nerds and dysfunctional friendships.

Anyway, I'll see you all in a decade when Netflix revives it for a season and then cancels it when it turns out that one of the actors is a rapist.

Fourth season? That's when the show got really bad for me.

 

[DangerousGas]

I'm sure that something equally crap will be along before too long to occupy the airtime.

 

[Bugaboo]

I never knew any of the hip young people who were into this show, it was all middle aged mothers and my father. I didn't think it was the worst show in the universe, it was just painfully bland.

Also they use clips of this show of Sheldon being an asshole to his friends to try and teach social skills to autistic children so I guess that's a plus

 

[Trombonista]

My sister loves this show, but even she's okay with it ending.

 

[Darndirty]

Kaley cuoco sure is fine though, Especially in those early seasons

 

[Shokew]

Good riddance to bad laughtrack BS. You will not be missed and that's what's deserved, IMHO.

TBH, I never paid attention to this show. I was too busy watching Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gumball, etc. (e.g.: cartoons I actually have some damn about and still so, BTW.), to truly care about this live-action sitcom garbage.

I have a feeling that one of the things that contributed to the show's ending was her aging rather badly and thus killing one of the main draws for the show.

 

[Haramburger]

The show went into a really odd direction in deciding to marry the characters to each other when they decided to give Wolowitz a character arc to make him into a decent character, I'm not sure why they felt they had to do that to give everyone a happy ending or something. I still don't really see how Sheldon and Amy could work out, but eh. I'm honestly just the most baffled that Sheldon got himself a spin-off of his childhood when you could just literally splice together all the episodes that talk about his childhood and get the full picture that way. I don't care for him at all (even though I kinda """get""" him, but yeah, he's not someone I'd like in real life either), but it's rather irksome that he had to be the face of Big Bang.

There traditionally aren't a lot of happy endings to shows, which I'm sure is up for debate, so it's refreshing for a lot of people I'd imagine. Married With Children & Roseanne had continued suffering, MASH & Cheers were bittersweet, That 70's Show & 2 1/2 Men suffered from actors fucking up the storylines by ducking out. If you wanted to praise something about Big Bang Theory, it's that 4 unlikeable nerds start out by taking their beatings, and life eventually gets better for them as time goes on, and that's a vibe people can really relate to. The marriage arcs lead to geeky guys getting women way out of their leagues, and that hits more people in the feels than will publicly admit.

Actually, I'm sorry I bashed this show, now. This..... sounds like a High Tier show, at least, in the right hands. Too bad there's a shitty laugh track in it, though. I would have watched this like it's Whose Line Is It Anyway if that wasn't an issue. Well, almost.

But anime fans deserve to be bullied.

Yeah, this show is absolute Shit but whatever the weebs are into right now isn't that much of an improvement, honestly.
