The only interesting angle I ever found in that show was whether or not the most likeable geek would end up with the hot chick, and I assume he will because sitcoms always end up warm and fuzzy.

I absolutely can't stand Big Bang Theory. The weird part is that I know a lot of other people with very similar sense of humor to mine who love it.

I agree completely, I gave the show a try after my sister in law insisted that I watch it and that it was the greatest show ever, just couldn't get past how much the people in the show annoyed me.

I feel/felt the same way about The Office. The humor by Steve Carell on that show reminds me a Kristen Wiig. On a similar note, 30 Rock is unwatchable due to Tracy Morgan being a ******.

Have I derailed this thread yet?

I'm in the same boat. Show seems like it should be right in my wheelhouse, I know a lot of people that like it, but I just find it really grating and not funny. On a scale of 2 1/2 Men to Parks & Rec, it skews more to 2.5 Men for me, and that's not good.

The Office of almost unwatchable this season. They need to cancel it and move on.

Yea, I tried to give it a chance this fall and have completely lost interest. I've like Spader before on other shows, but he is just a black hole on the show. Trying to turn Andy into a Michael Scott clone was also the wrong approach.

Nah. I'm just the visionary, and you've all been duped by the insidious evils of the laugh track. Boom.

I've never watched the show, but I have seen this.

I think my favorite shows right now would have to How I Met Your Mother, Walking Dead, and the pawn shows and storage war shows

Right, because the first thing I look for with my eye candy is personality and intellect.

As stated before, I can find eye candy that either aren't idiots or don't talk at all. I have watched Bachelor to cheer on chicks balling so I can point out to my girls how important an education is.

I'd rather tounge a blender then sit through an episode of Big Bang Theory.

I prefer 2.5 Men to Big Bang Theory. I hate 2.5 Men.

This seems like a classic rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock moment to determine who is correct.

I expected to have the same reaction, but am actually pleasantly surprised. Some other members of the cast have been allowed to do more, which I have liked. It was more "Steve Carell Show" than ever the last couple of seasons.

James Spader adds nothing, on that I will agree.

You miss the A&M game because you're attending the wedding of one of your wife's friends, and you publicly state that you enjoy watching The Bachelor with your wife?

Ouch.

Oh this is difficult. I would suggest this for a solution, If Chris can tell us going to the wedding and watching the show with helped with activities latter that night, just probation. Maybe do a piece on the women of the WWE as a way toward getting off probation. Is this fair.
