I never got it either. I was literally like "What like the aliens from Star Trek?" Why are these people famous? None of them have accomplished anything. They're just rich entitled a-holes.

I agree. Especially about that romance part. Why can’t a heroine be good enough, be deemed interesting enough to viewers without some arbitrary love interest? And what also bothered me was how Wednesday time and again commented on Enid‘s looks/personality. The Addams Family was about accepting those who are different, yet here we are with Wednesday judging everyone and everything.

Wow! The censors must've been in deep sleep.🤫

Early seasons were great. The entire franchise took a massive nosedive in quality after season 8.

Who's the third man?

Weekend Update when Colin Jost and Michael Che make eachother read jokes they have not seen before is hilarious

I liked it...

Worst ending ever

Never watched it.

The characters aren't supposed to be redeeming. They're all a$$holes. That is kind of the point. I've seen this show so many times through--I can't even count how many times. My brother and I can carry on text conversations with nothing but Seinfeld quotes.

The whole point is offensive gags. It’s not supposed to be another Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrooks

As an autistic person even I can pick up that there's a hell of a lot more going on then just "He's autistic". It goes through romance, childhood drama and trauma, family drama with that old guy (can't remember his name) and his guilt about whatever killed his daughter, and basic medical drama. I'd put it on equal footing with New Amsterdam personally

Just now started watching and so far, I enjoy the kid actor.

First season was cool but i lose interest really quickly with poor storylines.

The original UK Office is much better

I can't stand Rick and Morty. For an adult animated comedy show that's supposed to be more intelligent, it doesn't hold a candle to Futurama. The point is supposed to be nihilism, but it's about as subtle as a brick.

I agree completey. I couldn't watch it, not even one episode. Talking like they are competing who can say things faster, not interesting, not funny, nothing.

I haven't seen a new episode in 20 years for this exact reason. I remember one of the last episodes I ever watched, the one where Bart and Milhouse take over the Comic Book Guy's store and at the end of the episode Bart says "And we haven't been to school in weeks and weeks". The writers were self aware enough to know that the whole premise had dissolved into irrelevancy. Bart and Lisa never go to school and Homer never goes to work anymore. Nothing of consequence ever happens and it's just a bunch of gags with no payoff.

Tenant was the best of the new doctors, but I'll forever love Tom Baker

I absolutely love this show. I would have been just a bit younger than them in the 80s. I love watching because it's like watching my childhood. Riding bikes, playing D&D, hanging out at the arcade. I remember my Gramps saying he liked watching A Christmas Story because he would have been about Ralphie's age during that time period. It was comforting nostalgia. Watching Stranger Things, I get what he meant.

I loved this show and still watch reruns.

As an introvert former scientist, I get the jokes, as well as the personalities, which I think helps. The only thing difficult to believe is that the nerdy scientists get a beautiful dumb blonde nympho (which Kaley Cuoco plays really well) move in across the hall. We're never that lucky :( If nothing else, it's enjoyable for the cameos - Bob Newhart in particular. It can't be that bad among scientists if the likes of Stephen Hawking and Neil deGrasse Tyson were happy to appear on it.

Erwin Schrödinger takes his cat to the vet, vet says "i've got some good news and some bad news"

I love this show!!!

I liked this show, watched every episode. witty, sarcastic, and funny.

I love this show. I still watch reruns when I can find them

Great show!! :)

I don't particularly like this show, and yet I watch it all the time. I think the actors are much better than the material they're given. It should have finished a few seasons earlier, though. It turned even the likeable characters in to people who just make nasty comments about their best friends. Except Amy - she became wonderful once she had time to develop, then stayed wonderful. And funny.

Sheldon was an A*****e...prove me wrong!

So many people tell me I should love this show because I'm a geek. Can't stand it.

It was too 'forcibly' nerdy on all counts, and it was never entertainment to me. The awkwardness was uncomfortably over-the-top.

This is my comfort show. Bad things happen and I binge from episode 1 on till the end

Godawful, terrible show.

I loved it because I had friends like these in chess club. Minus Penny of course.

I used to love until I started to hate

I used to watch it when I was younger. I was always turned off by Howard. His "jokes" were sexual harassment. And I couldn't stand how whiney Leonard was.

Aw, I like this show! I get why people don't though. Totally understandable. Later seasons get worse but I thought they ended it well which a lot of series don't do!

I really liked the nerd jokes. I feel like only non-nerd people are offended by the jokes. I, too, hate Sheldon bc I'm exactly like him (all the autism quirks, its freaky sometimes) but unlike him I try to work on my behavior and I can't get away with it like he does bc he's a man (even of he wasn't smart he'd still get away with it bc he's a man).

And yet it lasted thirteen years, the spin-off ended after seven years because the original series' continuity demanded it, a second spin-off premiers in two months, and a third spin-off is in the works. Yup, everyone's wrong and you're right.

There was only one bad season in this show, I think it was the 6th. If you're French watch it in VO, the voice actr were poorly chosen and made a terrible work it's much more enjoyable in English.

I hate it too. It's about some smart scientists... as a scientist, it is totally unrelatable.

This one I can agree with. tried it quite a few times but never understood the appeal. To each their own.

Plot & characters aside, the costuming on this show always disrupted my willing suspension of disbelief. Too many long sleeves & layers (not to mention Leonard in his jacket 24/7) considering it takes place in Pasadena. Even in the winter it only gets to the mid-60s (that's about 18C for those across the pond), and in summer you're looking at about 85 (almost 30C). I always felt sorry for the actors; they must have been stifling.

I watched it with my then-boyfriend, who loved the physics stuff (because he is a physicist). I've contemplated rewatching it again now that I'm single, but every time I do, I catch myself thinking: Why would I really want to? I was invested while I watched it, but that stopped as soon as we watched the whole thing. So yeah, hard pass on this show.

I liked the first season, it was like not-that-good American version of IT crowd. And then it lost the plot.

it sounded too stupid to even consider

My wife likes it a lot, but I can barely stand being in the room when it's on. Most of the characters are not likeable at all, and Sheldon is as the OP said, "the worst:!"!

So many times the "joke" was just "someone says something nerdy"

Tried to watch it, couldn't.
