26 TV Shows That Don’t Deserve The Praise They Get, As Pointed Out By Folks In This Online Group

No, that's an original serie, with odd uncommon characters, a background a bit more elaborated than usually, promoting science (in a way), with anti-heroes. The character development is very interesting, and a beautiful ending. It will stay as a landmark in the history of series.

I love this show. Sorry not sorry.

For me it was when Sheldon seemingly changed from being annoying but oddly endearing to outright selfish and petty. That's when I realised a lot of the show was built around him so when he lost his appeal everything else just fell flat.

One of the best things on TV

Working with colleague who is as disturbing as Sheldon by not his own fault but diagnosed level of autism, still one of the best, most knowledgeable people I know, I can tell you, it's how it goes for me working with him and made me like the show even more. Knowing nerds vs. sexism - if guys who never had chance to interact a lot with women get a chance, that's exactly how it goes in real life (own experience). Can't relate to homophobia here, I didn't notice it and platonic bro romance going on through show accepted publicly by everyone except of one of the persons involved, is accurate enough to my experience of such bro love.

I love the show but I can see how it's sexist and sometimes racist. Also as someone who has been both in academia and in the pharmaceutical industry, they are (sometimes dangerously) misrepresenting both. Things like not caring about side effects or making up diseases is not the norm and conspiracy theorists don't need this 'innocent' fuel.

If you don't get this, you're probably not smart enough to be the target audience. It's like when people say Sheldon is an ahole rather than seeing his social ineptitude for what it is. Those are the people who also miss that the others rip into Sheldon far more than he does to them, and he's just as oblivious

BBT: insulting and mocking our own supposed target audience.

Again another great show that so many didn’t like.. I don’t watch a show or read a book looking for things to find fault. I just watch or read for the entertainment and often the lessons they teach.. Some humor does not amuse all people. So be it.

It started out well and like many shows that run too long, went to static stereotypes and one dimensional characters. It started out celebrating the positive aspects of nerd culture and descended into everything most nerds are trying to stop.

I love this show

My favorite show! Where my other nerds at???

in a unnoticed way it taught a lot, nothing smart, just social in general.

I used to really like it, but when I watch it now it feels like it's just showrunners bullying the characters.

BBT was fantastic the first half of the seasons, then you could tell the writers ran out of ideas and just milked the fan base and ratings. Amazing last 2 episodes though that bring the waterworks. Basically watch Seasons 2-5 then skip to the final 2 episodes of Season 12.

The first season was great, but the show gradually declined. Young Sheldon is really good and improving with time, though.

Y'all are NOT gonna make me feel bad for loving BBT.

I loved it. It was different, to me anyway. I didn't watch the last couple seasons because I just got bored maybe. But for others who liked it, great. For people who didn't, watch something else. Damn

I didn't need to watch. I worked in an industry full of these characters.

It would have been a better series without the dorky Jewish Tech and his horrible mother. Otherwise it did originally do a pretty good portrayal of Asperger's people. Is SHOULD have stopped once the SitCom writers got a hold of it. And the YOUNG Sheldo was so embarrassingly stupis,. Showing a spoiled rotten smart-arsed kid being a smart a**e. :-(

I quite enjoyed it

My husband and grandson loved it??? Even have the whole thing on dvd. Stupid.

I like this show until Sheldon and Amy became a couple. He treated her like garbage and made her beg for any kind of affectoin. None of her friends cared. She deserved so much better but couldn't believe that herself.I hated their relationship and felt the show went downhill once they got together.

For people hating on Sheldon I think he represents what happens to autistic people when they go undiagnosed, and grow in a society where they're largely unassisted, ( this coming from an autistic person who would be a down right b*tch without therapy)

I liked the first season, even I am not woke, I felt later somehow uneasy about the misogynistic tone of the show.

So many jokes already seen in Friends... and many situations... It's the same with just a nerdy touch !

They should have kept the funny nerd thing going. Sheldon should’ve found a wormhole and Howard should’ve been sent too Mars.

Bothers me that when I say my kids have Aspergers they tell me all about Sheldon

I simply cannot stand Sheldon.

I watched this for the first time the other day. I watched 4 episodes in a row. It was so not funny, and I wondered what the big deal was. With all the commercial breaks, the actual writing and actual "show" was probably 12 minutes. It just seemed to be someone saying a line to set up the punchline/joke, which would be the next line said - usually by Jim Parson's character. It was like spitting a line, next line, hahahaha. Everything had a laugh track. Everything. DIdn't find it at all entertaining. I know I'm in the minority

I wish they portrayed cooper better 99.9% sure he is an autistic greysexual but they portrayed him so badly, i enjoy the later seasons a lot more because they learn basic respect and the ending is quite lovely, but I agree with op, young Sheldon is better anyways :/

It was a unique show and had funny story lines, but it should have ended much sooner.
