Aged like a first-class bottle of milk.
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
hey penny! i´m a nerd without social skills. here´s a niche pop-culture reference you won´t understand. BOTSWANA
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.
Shallow and pedantic
Hmm, yes, shallow and pedantic.
It started out great but ended up just being mostly sex related humour, not science.
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 😂
I like it. It’s dumb fun, but it’s funny and I like to laugh.
It was fun for the first 4 to 5 seasons and after that I couldn’t stand it anymore.
I refer to it as geek culture black face.
As a nerd I loathe that show, it’s vapid. You nailed it.
I’m a Nerodivergent geek, I had lots of people tell me “you will love this show” so I watched some and now I wonder how those people really see me. So that’s kinda fun.
This is a great way to put it! Totally agree
