The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019)
1/10
Not as good as everybody think
28 July 2010
TBBT is not a great show, it's actually silly and ridiculous, they stick to the idea that being a physicist is being perfectionist, dumb, extremely shy or naive. The characters are like 25 years old and they act like kids, they don't seem to understand social rules or even behave like normal non-nerd people. The topics and motivations on the series are stupid too; most times about sex and romance (the "funny" part is that the "nerds" don't know much about that... not funny at all in my opinion).

The show is not greatly intelligent; the star of the show is Sheldon, an "intelligent" guy whose only intelligent attributes consists in quoting theories and indicating paradoxes or logical failures of his partners. It seems his personality works to impress people by making them think "Wow, if I'd be intelligent, I'd be able to make people shut up by winning the discussions and saying bazzinga in the end". Kinda banal, in my opinion. But it works for people who watch the show and think "yeah, that's me, I'm that socially awkward and potentially intelligent and sarcastic".

Come on, this is not an intelligent show; my redneck sister-in-law loves the show because its sense of humour is actually kiddish, even those intrincate "quantum-theories" often referred by some characters. OK, it sometimes adds some good-thought jokes about science, but they're not the core of the series; the plots are more like "wow, Raj has to date a girl and he's femophobe, let's make fun of it". Come on, there's no more people like that; physicists are cultivated, clever people, not buffoons like in this series.

This show works for people who don't want to think much, it's a teenager show; maybe if was back to my 12's I'd love the show, but for an adult person it's a ridiculous program, not really worth to watch.
