QC and Big Bang Theory Cross over.

<< < (3/12) > >>

cesium133:
As a physicist (well, a physics graduate student. Don't know if that actually counts), I enjoyed the first season or two of the Big Bang Theory. Yeah, they made fun of the nerd stereotypes occasionally, but it seemed like they had someone on the writing staff who actually knew what a physicist does. I don't know if that person got fired or if there was executive meddling or what, but it seems like at some point they stopped being physicists and started just being generic nerd stereotypes. I don't watch it as much as I used to, but it still seems like that is the case from the episodes I've seen more recently.

If that's the case, that's sad.  And, unfortunately, neither the first nor the last time someone with more brass than brains just had to put his or her thumb in something, and ruin whatever made it good in the first place.

(I will admit, I identified with some of the things I saw in the few episodes of BBT I've seen.)

ukrayf:
I just hate how insidiously misogynistic The Big Bang Theory is, how flippantly discontinous its characterisations are and how wretchedly unfunny it is, and I wholly despise the "revenge of the nerd" trend in media that caters the lowest common denominator of socially oblivious, uncritical, self-superior fedora-wearers.

DSL:
There're big bucks in catering to the lowest common denominator, friend. Fortunately for my self-respect, my material needs are few and mostly simple.

This is the same network that brought you Two And A Half Men. CBS=LCD.
