I didn't like The Big Bang Theory from any angle whatsoever.
I feel the same. the whole thing felt like blackface for nerds. the jokes felt flat and there wasn't anything really clever to appeal to actual nerds.
Big Bang Theory is one of those scapegoat shows that smart people have a stock "it sucks" opinion about. It's a very good light sitcom as far as light sitcoms go and easily holds its own with shows like How I Met Your Mother.
To clarify, I like him because he doesn't have a TV _and_ he doesn't care about pop culture. I don't either, so I don't have a specific opinion on The Big Bang Theory.
I went to Caltech, and I despise when people mention the show to me as if it reflects anything about the school.
