The Big Bang Theory.

[Guerrero]

I'm on about the TV show,not the actual happening.

Is it the "Marmite" of comedies?
I absolutely love it yet people who I thought would get the humour...............don't.

It could so easily be set in Brighton.

Its all about Penny.

Last series was just sad not funny been a fan but I think it has now run its course.

The actress that plays Penny, Kaley Cuoco, and Johnny Galecki, plays Leonard, were a couple in real life. At the time the series began. Kaley had a whirlwind romance with another actor. She is now divorcing that person so there is a real "push" by the fans that Cuoco and Galecki get back together and marry in real life. Watch the tabloids for the story on the two.

Last week, the 29-year-old actress gushed about Galecki during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," telling host Andy Cohen her co-star was one of her "dearest friends." She also revealed her now soon-to-be ex-husband got along great with Galecki.

“Ryan loves him. Johnny loves [Ryan] I got lucky," Cuoco said. When asked by a caller if it was awkward working on "Big Bang Theory" with her former boyfriend, Cuoco responded she didn’t mind it because the two have always remained professional.

“Well, we dated like five years ago, so I think we both moved on," she said. "Johnny is actually one of my best friends. It’s a situation that ended well."

Cuoco and Galecki dated from 2007 to 2010. While the pair kept their romance a secret at the time, both have gone on record saying it was a wonderful relationship. On Monday's premiere of "The Big Bang Theory" their characters got married at a Las Vegas wedding chapel.

My son likes it. Seems a bit tame/bland to me. I agree that the laughter track is annoying. I think it's aimed at a younger demographic than me, but my sour attitude towards the programme may be influenced by the fact that three separate people at work have said that I resemble the main character, one suggesting that I'm like him personality-wise too, an accusation I would rigorously refute.

Love it, Penny in the current series is not as hot as the first 1-7. Looking forward to S9.

The canned laughter drives me mad

I'm with you there, if you look on YouTube there are a couple of short videos of the Big Bang Theory with the laugh track removed. It shows just how astonishingly unfunny it actually is...

I actually used to like it as it started out being a geeky comedy show that was fairly accessible and made the mocking of comic books, video games etc. seem fairly affectionate rather than the same clichéd rubbish. As time has gone on, it's reverted to the same old easy jokes about what 'geeks ' are like.

Long story short; I read comic books, I love sport, I have (some) social skills. In the world of that godawful heap of crap show I wouldn't exist.

Still nothing compared to '2 broke girls' though, that really a warm steaming pile of hateful American toss.

It's not canned, it's filmed in front of a studio audience, which means we have to listen to something a thousand times worse:-

AMERICAN AUDIENCES BEING EMOTIONAL.

Stop freakin cheering when 2 actors kiss.
Accepting a marriage proposal doesn't mean they are getting married.
You have not witnessed a special moment.
Announcing a pregnancy doesn't mean they are pregnant.
THEY ARE FREAKIN ACTORS ACTING.

Fudging morons, the lot of of them.

Please people! Brit audiences are no more sophisticated. Benny Hill? Really?

 

[StonehamPark]

I've tried to get into it but every episode just feels the same to me.

Genius is socially retarded.
Lead is awkward and ruins any chance he get's with Waitress.
Asian can't speak to girls unless he drinks and offers nothing to the show.
Star Trek guy is a softer version of Quagmire (Family Guy).
Waitress is totally unfunny, as are the other female characters.

Ad infinitum.

It's certainly no Frasier.

I saw a couple of minutes of a programme the other day with canned laughter on. It was a UK show, can't remember what it was. The canned laughter seemed so out of place it was ridiculous, like some terrible 1970s sitcom. I can't believe any producer now thinks inserting canned laughter into a soundtrack is a good idea. It was cringeworthy.

Whenever I'm on holiday with American TV being shoved down our necks, 'Big Bang Theory' seems to be on ever channel and I love it. But get back home and I never watch it because 'better' things are on.

 

[Norman Potting]

Is it as good at the "IT Crowd"?

 

[Sheebo]

One of my favourite shows, I love it.

Same here

And yes, Penny is hot!

 

[Wilko]

I really liked it when the guys were proper geeks with no girlfriends trying to get dates but failing miserably. It is still quite funny but run its course and become a bit stale.
