    I loved it initially, I thought the first three seasons were brilliant, and a validation of the rising mainstream geek cultural infusion happening in the US

    Laugh track bullshit that basically tracks as “you-know-of-star-trek-then-you-know-nerd”

    Call them all nerdy!… then give them miracle careers, a girlfriend with porn doll voice and no real heartache and yea…

    I watched two episodes before bouncing off hard. No idea how it got as popular as it did, because the jokes were just low effort and lazy.

    I loved the nerdiness of the show but it was more like they were making fun of them instead of laughing with them.

    I totally related to almost all of the culture since I’m a giant nerd

    In my opinion, it’s not as bad as people claim it to be, but It’s far from being great as well.

    I think it was easier to watch when it came out, but from memory I enjoyed it. I remember thinking the show was kinda accurate regarding nerdy references (compared to other movies and series of the time) and I thought it was cool.

    In our dub, they forgot put the canned laugh in the first seasson, you just hear silence when they make a pun, at that point i thought it would be a tragedy/comedy series in a sweat/bitter sabour. Then they put canned laugh and i leave

    There was something about it I found obnoxious. It was just kind of lazy and, although the cast did a decent job, the writing was meh.

    I binged all seasons and it cracked me up to watch the cast go from eating a ton of food on screen to just gesturing with pickles and working out 😂

    By extension, Young Sheldon features a not at all realistic genius kid, who’s arrogant and having zero clue in socialising, but his attitude is extremely confident. I don’t find the protagonist likable at all.
