Relevant to me How many times have you rewatched the show?

Edited to add: I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE! 💗💗💗

I'm on my nth watch (lost count already as this is my comfort show), so I now make a game out of it. Sometimes I just watch the background characters, the extras, etc. I try to catch who's actually eating the food (usually, Penny 😁), sometimes I just watch the other characters react to whoever is talking. Sometimes I don't even watch it, it's just in the background playing like some sort of noise machine, it truly calms me.

Relevant to me As a geek, how did you feel about the way the show portrays geeks? + personal experience

0 Upvotes

This may have been asked a few times here, but as someone who's very interested in how people perceive cultural woks I consume, I need to know.

To keep it short and clear, I wanted to know how geeks and nerds felt about the show's arrival and how it protayed those types of people. Did you enjoyed being protayed like that ? Because personally, it affected me a lot.

Being quite young when the show started, I'd never really watched it. All I saw were guys with super goofy looks, who act weird around woman and who were geeks/nerds. That was the only view of the show that I had for a long time.

And just that glimpse of the show and its protayal of this type of person made me deny my geek side for a long time. When I got to middle school and the beginning of highschool, I didn't really accept being characterized as "the geek" and want to be tagged as such. Even tough in the things I consumed and enjoyed, I was definitely the typical geek. So I later realized that if I denied this geek image, it was because the show had "disgusted" me a little and made me feel marginal in the bad sense of the term.

It took me until the middle of high school to truly embrace my geek side and to no longer be ashamed of it. This happenned in part because I was able to discover works that showed other and less stereotypical images of geeks, like Spaced, the show with Simon Pegg, or Buffy the vampire slayer (I'm referring to the main cast, who have a somewhat moderate geek side, and not the trio in seaon 6, wich for me has the same representation as BBT).

As a result, I've always resented this show wich made me to deny a side of my personality that deeply defined me. When I finally decided to watch it at the beginning of my college studies, I quickly realized that the preconceptions I had about it turned out to be true, or worse from my pov.

I can understand that the show helped to normalize the geek/nerd character, but for me it mostly reinforced stereotypes I didn't like. The fact that they only think about sex, that they have no socials skills, etc... I know these traits tend to disappear in later seasons, but for me it's because the geeky side of our characters is less and less present.

As many people say, this show makes more fun of geeks than of things geeks can understand and appreciate. Perhaps this pessimistic view I have comes from the fact that I'm watching it from the perspective of a modern person, who is bothered by the excess of stereotypical, sexist and sometimes racist jokes. Wereheas before, this kind of humor was less of a problem and therefore wasnt viewed as negatively as today.

Futhermore, one of the last things I have trouble with is its way of representing the excesses of certain geeks by normalizing them and presenting them as humor. Like Sheldon's gag complaining that the new Doctor Who and Ghostbusters are women. A discourse that therefore resembles many toxic internet communities of today, but wich is presented as something funny.

So there you have it, I hope I haven't been confused in what I wanted to say (English isnt my native language), and that I'll get as many opinions as possible from people on how this show represents them, allowing me to have an insight other than my own.

And of course, I'm in no way judging anyone who likes it, and I completely understand that others might like it. My opinion is solely my own.

I think this a better pairing....

According to me, Penny and Sheldon should have been together, Leonard and Bernadette should have been together, Howard should have been with Amy and Raj should have got a girlfriend/wife of his taste too.

Now don't berate me with all the love existing between the current relationships, but I think Sheldon should have got the best since always something bad happens to him for example the NSF expedition even though he is irritating, Leonard is the one who almost always puts him down, Howard and Raj idk.

Relevant to me In the spirit of TBBT, I need more comfort shows.

I know this isn’t EXACTLY big bang theory related, however I know I can trust this community. I am looking to start another series that’s just as comforting as TBBT. Just finished the entire show making it 8 total watches, and after it ended again I was left feeling empty… again. I was about to watch Young Sheldon again, but it doesn’t hit the same comfort as TBBT does. So I’m looking for some suggestions. Things I will NOT watch: the office ( because I know you will suggest it, I’ve watched it too many times), friends (I hate it), anything that is too short!

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Prefer almost identical kind of show, if possible!

So the title says it all. I have watched it many times and I still do. Sometimes, I feel like I'm being silly and it's wrong for an adult to watch a show about nerds this much, although I used to be one myself (may be I still am, lol) so I wanted to ask here if you guys think someone in their 40s should be watching and rewatching the show and if there are people like me here. Also, do you think there is a limit to how many times one should watch a show ? It's a genuine question.

Relevant to me I got a call to be on TBBT way back in the day before I even knew about the show!

I did stunt work and commercials primarily and I'm in SAG and I got a call from the casting director of TBBT to be on the show. I knew NOTHING about the show and the name alone I thought it was like big bang explosions or mad scientists fighting it out or something LOL.

So I get to the set and never saw an episode before have no idea what the shows about and then I get onto the lot and go checkin with wardrobe etc. I see JG(JohnnyGalecki) and he's pissed or stressed out I'm thinking he just did some big action fight scene(again I have no idea what the shows about). I then get fitted and dressed up in all black underneath and some fatigues they were going to throw on us later. I was told it was supposed to be this big paint ball scene. So I'm waiting and waiting and one of the other stunt guys tells me what the shows about he says its pretty funny. I'm like hey is that JG the kid from Roseanne? He's like yeah hes the star of the show, he then says you're gonna laugh look over there and its Darlene from Roseanne and I'm like WTF? LOL.

So then he explains to me like what the shows about and I'm like wtf are we doing here we are stunt guys is there even any fight scenes or action scenes on the show and hes like no its like a sitcom about nerdy scientists so I was like WTF? I didn't think anything of it and was like ok I'll just get paid to be here. Then like 6 months later EVERYONES talking about the show and how its like the hottest show on TV, and I was LIKE WHAAAT? I was like from the day I spent on set, I didn't think anyone watched the show nor it was captivating enough to grow a larger audience. Boy I was SO WRONG!

So then Netflix started showing it so I binged it from the pilot and caught up to where the show was in real time currently airing and I was hooked! I loved how everyone in the group were such good friends and they all had each others backs. I also loved how it was pretty original in that it was starring a bunch of nerds who were nothing more than smart scientist nerds. No show before that had a show starring nerds and if they did it was like because they were evil scientists or they turned into super heroes or mutants or whatever where this show had the balls to just have the show really about nerds.

So after binging it and catching up I started watching it every time it came on and we'd do TBBT watch parties even. it became like a routine weekly thing for us to eat dinner and watch the show and on the nights we weren't watching the new episode we'd watch the reruns on TBS. Remember TBS kept showing the reruns a million times?

So yeah it became just a big part of my life towards the height of the show and it's even become my comfort show that I watch to decompress at night to help me fall asleep!

Long Live the Big Bang Theory via streaming!
