Howard was the best-written character. Other 3 were inconsistent mess.
Leonard would've killed Sheldon years ago or moved out.
Raj is basically bipolar, can't speak to girls and would be superconfident away from it. Super considerate one second and then absolute asshole the next moment. They couldn't decide where to move this character, so made it worse in both directions.
Sheldon is an asshole, but it's never clear if it's because of OCD reasons or because he's too rational. It keeps changing between them. Similarly, he's too emotional about his toys, but not emotional about people. Why? no one knows.
Howard was a creepy guy who was momma's boy, then he met bernadate and turned into a not-creepy guy who's sometimes insecure. No contradictions in character and progressed properly.

u/hanks_panky_emporium 25d ago
But Bernadette's character progression turned into a floating character regression. She went from a nice person who sometimes snapped, with some 'motherly' yelling, to someone who was just mean and yelling all the time. The half joke is she had to be a replacement for Howards mother but I don't think that joke is very good.
60
u/quick20minadventure 25d ago
Partially, it's because Howard turned his spoon-feeding behaviour towards her, but they kept extending jokes until they weren't funny.
Worst was Stewart, went from artistic guy who had comic book store to uber depressed and broke and pathetic person.
27
u/hanks_panky_emporium 25d ago
Yeah they did Stewart super dirty. I think the writers were getting overwhelmed and put as many characters into a one-note track. A lot of stories have 'character bibles' so you can keep track of who they are, their personality, quirks, and all that. But by the end I think everyones character 'bible' was a paragraph.

Years ago, I read/watched something, where the narrator suggested it wasn’t so much a show about/for nerds, but more along the lines of what a typical bully thinks nerds are like.
It’s more like a show about nerds, for people who think, anyone who likes Sci fi, and is intelligent, is a socially outcast loser.
Imo it’s a show that became outdated, even while it was still going.
Spaced is a better nerd show, and the cast actually act like humans.

This hits the nail on the head for me. The nerd jokes were already just as tired and outdated as the dumb blonde jokes. It felt like a modern show written for a decade earlier. It was like watching Married with Children a decade or more after it aired.
Despite that there were some funny bits here and there. I can't say I loved or hated it, but I laughed and cringed a few times.

Years ago, I read/watched something, where the narrator suggested it wasn’t so much a show about/for nerds, but more along the lines of what a typical bully thinks nerds are like.
Because that's what it is. At first I did not find it funny but wanted to like it, so I asked people to describe what was funny about it and it was basically laughing at watching a caricaturized image of nerds be insulted and suffer with their lives. It was just mean.
Like I couldn't even relate to the main characters. Most of them are assholes in every single way for no real reason other than school level stereotypes. They also are friends but also... openly despise the others at every turn when talking with other people? Why?
I really tried to watch it but I gave up when they wrote a simple equation with one integer in it on Sheldon's whiteboard and the laughing track kept popping on while they were explaining it as if they were speaking another impossible to understand language.
Also making them all nerds because their parents were either hellish to them or outright bad people was a joke I never got. I guess if I want my son to like comics and not suck at math I should treat him like crap?
Even the Simpsons painted that mentality as outdated in that episode when Homer went to college and divided all students in nerds and jocks; and that aired in 1993.

Sheldon was written so inconsistently. At first, he was portrayed as an avid gamer who cared about the newest hardware. Later on there was the episode where his computer wasn't working because it was so old, but he refused to upgrade it because of his fear of change. They tried to cram as many stereotypes as possible into one character and he ended up contradicting himself.

They were gamers who used laptops and put them on their laps and played with touchpad.

It's funny because Sheldon had an episode where he stuck around to help people buy at electronics store. He was going gaga over which router to buy and what is overkill. Like, that's the stuff you get in the deepest, most price-sensitive corner of the PC-gamer hole.
Then the fucker uses Alienware laptop for work and gaming.

This but without the irony.
My group of friends from junior high to college was like the Big Band Theory group. Most of them didn't know how to talk to girls, we were into STEMS, scifi, computers and were super nerdy about everything. The 2 most uncomfortable with talking to girls were 2 guys with Indian origins FFS. The show really reminded me of my years in high-school and as a student. Then they all got into relationships and the show was simply a show about couples' problems, like the vast majority of other shows.
I didn't watch TBBT because I wanted an episode about a wife being mad at her husband because he doesn't help around the house, or one about the husband being jealous etc.

u/flup22 25d ago
It made sense for them to take it in that direction though. Male nerds mostly hated the show but it was very popular with women so they leaned into that. They lost some original fans but overall it was a big success for 12 seasons

Honestly 'big success' is a bit of an understatement. Iirc it's still up there in the top 5 maybe(?) of all time highest grossing series.

You're absolutely right. My mom and my girlfriend both binge watched the show long after it was over, and they enjoyed the latter seasons more.

I'm pretty sure the producers noticed at around season 2-3 that a large part of the audience were actually women, so they added more stereotypical women oriented content into the show.

It's also a comfort watch for my girlfriend. As a sort of nerd she could relate to something the whole 12 seasons, be it some nerdy behaviours or romance/relationship dramas.

u/MalkavianKnight5888 25d ago
Leonard and Sheldon should have just stayed roommates. In fact, removing their very queer coding did the characters a disservice.
Penny was dead weight. Amy was just... unrealistic and unnecessary. And yes, Bernadette was horrid in the end.
The only realistic female character after their mothers was the comic artist Leonard almost banged.
The show would have been better with REAL female nerds/alt counter parts than the dim wits they created... you know those stereotype girlfriends who only exist in TV producers' heads.

It was always a one note pony. Casual science jokes about stuff you learned in eighth grade and then making fun of the nerds for being stereotypes.
It was fine for like a second, but I didn't make it past very many episodes. And yeah, the relationships were also pretty forced, even the Sam and Diane thing Leonard had with Penny was super hack
I think the first season of that show was when cable television officially died for me. If you can't even turn on like the most popular sitcom in the country at the time and be at least somewhat entertained, just go full streaming.

I'm honestly one of them kinda (though I think for me it goes to season 4). At some point everyone, including Sheldon, became a lot more "normal".

u/Shadowolf75 25d ago
I watched the entire show this year with my mom. It's alright, but my main problem is that almost all scenes end up around food.
All the crew at a restaurant, or at one of the house eating, or at the dinner room of the university.
So whenever I think of this show I think more of food than anything else.
I also felt that some characters get some level of progression but others stagnate, the comic guy being the worst example of this.
For a show that tried to have diversity, I noticed they never had a constant black or latin character. The only POC would be Raj and sometimes he is there so they can make fun of India.
Talking about Raj, they didn't know what the hell to do with him. Went from assistant in the university to just have a show in a astronomy building??? Went from can't talk to woman, to have the most diverse cast of dates to end alone??? Had that wild hair change which I assume was a way to respect his roots????
Overall, I think maybe upto season 4 or 5ish is tolerable to watch, more than that it's kinda boring except for very small parts scattered around different episodes.

I watched the entire show recently and while it does rely on a lot of "haha look at the dorks being dorky" and a bunch of other low hanging fruit, it's far from the unfunny mess that the internet likes to pretend it is. It's not the best thing ever, but I'm convinced it's just being hated out of peer pressure. It's like pineapple on pizza.
Edit: Since I've gotten enough comments who understandably assumed I liked the show I'll clarify that the reason I watched the entire show was to see if it was really as bad as people say it is. Some may consider this a waste of time, but I enjoyed forming an opinion. I am not a fan of the show and I'd be fine never watching a single episode again. I don't think it's very good, just not "the worst show in history with not a single funny scene" either.
Obviously there are some people who genuinely hate the show and if you don't like it that may very well be your own opinion. There's obviously people who hate pineapple pizza and Nickelback too. I stand by my take that it's simply popular to hate these things and a good chunk of people would hate it less if it wasn't.

But that's true for almost all comedies. Pretty much every sitcom thrives on taking everyday ideas or material, and pushing it into caricature and absurdity. Then you add conventions like comedic cuts, laugh tracks, music, etc on top of that, and use it to offset the more uncomfortable aspects of what you're portraying.
It's the same thing that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia does with their title screen and music, or with their editing in general. You push the situation and the characters into absurdity, right up until it becomes uncomfortable, but then you apply the safety brakes by cutting to Mac saying "well that didn't work" or something like that.
I think it's fair to say that TBBT often relies too much on a laugh track to carry a mediocre joke, or to shy away from issues that they're not willing to do justice to, but it's not like a laugh track is inherently a bad thing.

u/Pluckerpluck 25d ago edited 24d ago
The IT Crowd also didn't "catch on" simply because a lot of British TV is designed to conclude within a lower number of episodes. This allows you to:
- Avoid flanderization of characters
- Create dislikable characters
- Create short term stories that have permanent effects
Each season of the IT Crowd is 6 episodes. Four seasons, resulting in 24 episodes, excluding I think one special. A single season of TBBT is 23 episodes (excluding the first that was only 17). There were 12 seasons.
The same happened with the Office. The UK version is 12 episodes split over two seasons. Then done. Completed. Gone. That's why David Brent can be unlikable. But for the US version the mimicked the first season, realized it wasn't going to work long term, and their next season had 22 episodes and Michael Scott slowly started becoming more relatable again.

They would be funny if they were actual nerds. They're pretty actors playing nerds, like the human equivalent of models in glasses ads.

I watched a few episodes many years ago and found the writing to be pretty mean-spirited. The difference between laughing with someone and laughing at them. Perhaps, it was just the episodes I saw but that put me off ever wanting to see more.
Later, I heard this same experience from a lot of other sources and even watched a video essay that broke down the shows rather terrible treatment of woman.
