[QUOTE="Quid est Veritas?, post: 72437888, member: 385144"] I dislike the Big Bang Theory. The characters are superficial stereotypes, like the blonde bimbo, the sleazy guy, the socially awkward and/or oblivious nerd. Its comedy mostly entails making references to pop culture or vaguely referencing science. As such, it is driven by people either understanding the references and somehow see mirth in its use out of context in normal situations; or by those who do not, that enjoy supposedly 'smart people' flailing around in daily situations. The former feel intellectually superior and the latter feel superior in vindication of the sillyness of the book-smart. So for many, it comes down to the Nerds looking down on normal people, and normal people mocking Nerds. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I don't understand why you would try and preamble some thoughts on epistemology and religion with this sitcom, though. If you enjoy it, I am glad. It is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. [/QUOTE]
