The Big Bang Theory

[cliche guevara]

Did anyone else catch the pilot of this last night on C4? Only watched cos I was stoned and waiting for skins, was dreadful, cliche filled bollocks. Although I did laugh once, when one of the "geeks" gave a scathing critique of the token dumb blond for caring about astrology. But for the most part, it made me want to bang my head against a brick wall. Drop it, C4!

 

[Augie March]

I caught the end of this, it was rather cliched and pretty standard American sitcom shite.

Oh, look silly geeks can't talk to attractive women and relate everything that happens to them in science-speak! *cue canned laughter and applause*

 

[Vintage Paw]

I liked it. I like clichés. I don't want to be a cerebral twat all the time, I get enough of that at uni.

 

[cliche guevara]

It also pissed me off, as I was expecting a physics based documentary, and instead was given a crap american sitcom

 

[5t3IIa]

I gave it 8 minutes then watched American Idol and had a lovely time

 

[camouflage]

I'm surprised any of you watched it at all, (except Vintage Paw who would probably do better drinking can after can of beer to kill-off excess neural connections).

Did you guys not see the ads beforehand?

 

[kyser_soze]

I didn't see this but I did watch America's Most Smartest Model and got some cheap laughs at the expense of good looking but thick people...

Nope. I gave it a chance. It failed.

I was actually looking forward to watching this, thought it was gonna be a documentary on The Big Bang, turns out it was that shite. Didn't even watch it.

 

[steveo87]

Do you reckon Channel 4 feel they simply HAVE to find a replacemnt for friends?
I just get a feeling that there are thousands of people who are actually addicted to crap like this....

 

[aqua]

I'm really sorry but it made me laugh

I don't for one minute think it was good, I think it was fucking awful, but funny awful

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I'm always amazed at the people who watch stuff like this and expect art.

I'm even more amazed by people who think this is shite but will happily watch American Idol or Big Brother.

Well, I wasn't exactly expecting something to parallel Eisenstein with the show, but something mildly amusing would've been nice.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

They had the shower curtain I want

 

[Greebo]

IMHO it wasn't laugh out loud funny, but there were some nice touches - like the periodic table shower curtain and boggle in Klingon. Maybe it needs a few episodes to get going properly, but so far it hasn't been as funny as "the IT crowd".

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

the periodic table shower curtain

Want

 

[El Jefe]

I think it's ace.

And Darlene was in it recently

Same here. LQ looks at me like I'm mad when I leave it on, in preference to 'How to Look Good Eating Kittens 10 Years Naked' or whatever repetitive tosh is on at the same time. To be fair, its appeal is largely due to the fact that it's not as bad as the other options at a TV deadzone

 

[scifisam]

I thought it was funny and am disappointed that I never seem to be in when it's on.

 

[Silva]

Torrented the pilot a few months ago, and found it to be dull, by-the-numbers "comedy".

 

[zoooo]

I love Big Bang Theory!
Always makes me laugh lots.
I love Sheldon.

 

[loud 1]

i love it!

 

[story]

I enjoy it.

 

[mentalchik]

I like it too......


know it's lame and predictable and all that stuff but so what !

 

[g force]

I love Sheldon....nice scathing put downs. The Doppler Effect costume was

 

[kabbes]

It definitely took a few episodes to get going, but once it did I thought it had genuine laugh-out-loud moments. Not a classic by any means, but the character of Sheldon at least generally makes it worth watching.

 

[electrogirl]

i'm a bit worried about some of the people saying they like this programme. maybe i haven't given it a proper chance.

for me it's up there with crappy american sitcoms such as 'just shoot me' which makes me vomit in my cereal bowl every day.

or what's that one with charlie sheen? where the theme tune goes 'men men men men men men'

oh, is this show going to be about MEN?

ha it makes me laugh, not in the way they intended.

 

[kabbes]

I like(d) Just Shoot Me.

I generally like sit coms that are based on comic-book over-the-top characters. They're fluff, and if the series is cancelled I'll barely blink, but they often make me laugh with their sheer ridiculousness.
