Terrible, terrible, terrible. It shouldn't matter which day it's on, or are we supposed to not want as much out of a comedy programme if it's earlier in the week? And what was up with the laughter track, it seemed to appear from nowhere when 'joke' was marked on the script then vanish totally.

Don't waste any time with this show. I was really hoping for a good show after How I Met Your Mother, but no. It is painful to watch. It makes The Class look absolutely brilliant, which I think if it had been given some time it would've been really good. I can't believe they passed on it after looking at this piece of garbage.

I saw the pilot for The Big Bang Theory and it is hilarious. I love this show. I will definitely be watching.

BBT totally rocked, it was a change of pace to finally see the main characters come from the 'geek' side of things, and associate ditzy cluelessness as a negative, instead of all other shows like *cough*friends*cough which just rehash age-old role types.

The painfully loud and ultra-intrusive laugh track would seem to indicate CBS doesn't have much faith in Big Bang delivering on its own. The only good news here is this is 30 minutes more per week I can very comfortably keep the idiot box off and know I am missing absolutely nothing.

I enjoyed show. The guys were great. Will wait to see how writes shape the female character. Monday night is a great comedy night. Helps relieve the stress of Mondays. Laughter is the best medicine

i absolutly loved this show.
it was everything i had been hoping for.
if the witty humor was to much for you, you obviously lack a sense of humor.

I absoutely love the show, and can't see how anyone would hate it! I mean, how many shows can have you rolling on the floor laughing before the opening credits. The show is witty, imaginative and completely original. Whomever ranks how i met your mother and the class over this show isn't smart enough to watch this show. It's full of nerd humour that makes fun of everyone. Anyone can relate to leonard and sheldon. I mean, who hasn't acted like an idiot around an attractive person?

I liked the show. I thought it had good back and forth, and it seemed witty in a Frasier sort of way. I didn't like the female actress too much, but hopefully her performance improves over the course of the show.

I also liked the pilot. I am not a big TV viewer (anymore, but I used to be a huge television wonk!). I watched the pilot of this series just because I wanted to see Johnny Galecki again after his successful and memorable run on the TV series "Roseanne." I was interested only in his character analysis and his performance and I liked it all.

The rest of the cast also clicked with me. Even this lifelong gay man likes "Penny." In spite of her physical beauty she is also friendly and has a good instinct with strangers. I look forward to seeing which, Leonard or Sheldon, will become her "boyfriend." In 1976 I went to school with a nice guy who wore plaid pants like Sheldon's. All is good, friends.

It is not always easy to evaluate a new TV series from the pilot alone. I wish the show success so I can see for myself.

The main statement I wanted to make before was that I think this show seems to be like "That '70s Show" meets "Friends" by way of "Frazier." I never watched any of those shows much but, from what I have ever seen (and still continue to see), they all had the right idea about life and humor.

I enjoyed the pilot a lot, unfortunately I think the BBT run will be short-lived. It's just a bit too cerebral for the mainstream in a country ruled by the dumbest common denominator.

Posted by unregistered user at 9/27/07 12:56 a.m.

OMG this new show was so funny. Loved it. A cross between Beauty and the Geek and That 70's show, only better.

I REALLY loved this show! It was funny and witty and made me laugh aloud throughout the show. I hope it sticks!

This writer is crazy the Big Bang Theory was great. It is the funniest show I have seen in a long time.

i couldn't get thru the entire show before i deleted the recording. painful to watch and annoying with the laugh-track. i'm amazed by all the folks who liked the show, but i guess it proves there's a show for everyone.

I can't believe you didn't like this show. I think most sitcoms are unbelievably stupid, but this one is damn funny. The writing is smart and crisp, and the actors are up to the task. Sheldon and Leonard rock.

Posted by unregistered user at 10/8/07 6:44 p.m.

This show is funny, clever, makes you think, and I will be watching every week. The writing is so creative, the dialog so funny and yet realistic from a geek point of view. I like how their social awkwardness is presented, again, pretty realistic, yet funny and at the same time laughing with them, not at them. Disguising a request for a date as an experiment and then discussing the "parameters" was hilarious. I hope this show lasts a long time, it is a great diversion.

I'm almost 60 years old.

Having prefaced that, The Big Bang Theory is the funniest show on television right now.

34 year old Jim Parsons should get an emmy for best actor in a comedy series this year. He is hilarious and delivers every line with perfection. Johnny Galecki is almost as amazing and could also be in the running.

Along with Two and A Half Men, these are the two funiiest sitcoms on the tube as I speak IMO.

Funny show that walks a very fine line - and succeeds. Not easy to do. Sara G and Johnny G's love banter is hilarious! And Sheldon's line about his busy life - before being a scientist he got his PhD, before that was college, and before that he was in the 5th grade - was both funny and sad.
The cast would fit right in with 'beauty and the geek' -where the women were mostly after the money, and the guys only wanted to be liked. (not that Penny seems cash oriented)
Even tho the premise sounded terrible, BBT -and 'Aliens'- are my favorite shows so far. They glide along while something like 'back to you' attempts comedy with claws and fangs.

Posted by unregistered user at 11/6/07 12:38 p.m.

The show is obviously aimed at the younger audience who has persevered through the comedy shows of the 90s, and is now the graduating classes of the 2000's who are now attending college. The subtle comedy that is portrayed in the show familiarizes the younger audience with the smart-ass comments that the geeks of their class used to make when they were spoken to. It is hard for me to believe that 'old' audience will get the comedy since they are expecting the same old obvious jokes that one can usually find in other sitcoms; And it will be hard for them to believe that these 'adults' don't have a life yet, which would be what is going on right now in the US where people don't begin to start their career until their late 30's.

The Show is brilliant, and entertaining to watch. The entire cast of the show brings their own uniqueness to the already hilarious script.

This was an amazing show, smart, witty, great writing. It almost matches up to scrubs, and since scrubs is going off air this will be my new scrubs, hehe. I am a scientist, and actually having a show that uses science for once with humor is awesome!!! And yes, most people that don't have a science back ground woint fully comprehend most of the diolague, but thankfully they still get the funny jyst of it. All around great show, I will be watching for years to come!!! And thx again for a educated show for once!!!

The TV drama was more interesting than any other I have seen recently. It is the funniest sitcom that I've ever seen. It is really really fun. Thank you so much for giving me big laugh. It's hard to wait episode 9. Please hurry up!!
