Nerdtastic: “The Big Bang Theory” Provides Viewers with More Than Just Laughs

Who says television doesn’t make you smarter?
With a new season premiering on Thursday, September 23 at 8pm, CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory” will once again grace the television screens of nerds and sitcom junkies everywhere. But what is it about the show that makes it so popular? After all, aside from your stereotypically good-looking female lead character (Penny), the show is really about a group of unusually dorky guys and their science experiments.
According to Korbi Ghosh of GMMR, throughout the series there have been several “lessons” that our nerdy boys have left audiences everywhere to ponder over. For a complete list of these ludicrous lessons, click here. “Bazinga!”

I am all for minsless entertainment teaching me life lessons! Whatever it takes to learn me. (Please excuse my sarcasm. I actually mean that, but tend to write with a facious tone).
I can hear “The Big Bang Theory” in the back of my mind, as though I have heard a redundant commercial playing… redundantly. CBS, being the ugly step-sister of NBC, though, I have a hard time giving merit to any of it’s newsest shows, let alone a sitcom. But with shows like “Modern Family,” the sitcom may be making a name for itself again. Bring on the empathetic laughs.
Okay, okay. I will give the show a chance. When does it air?
GO GEEKS!!!
I think I would like this show so much more if it didn’t have the most obnoxious laugh track this side of Married…with Children. Sheldon enters a room *20 seconds of wild laughter*
Creative way to critique the show! I’ve seen it a few times, it’s not bad, but not my favorite. I used to watch Grounded For Life when I was younger and Bridget (or Penny in BBT) was my favorite.
This is a hilarious show and even though i have not really watched several episodes I always seem to catch up on what is going on for that week. I also have to admit that the theme song for the show is pretty catchy.
I have always wanted to start watching this show because I’ve heard many good things about it. Would it be possible to start with the new season or do I need to start from the first?
The humor in the show will not be lost on you if you start watching this season. Many of the episodes can stand alone. However, if you are a Netflix user it is definitely worth putting on your cue.
