What Non-Geeks Hate About the Big Bang Theory

v3rgEz writes: It has been said that there is a lot to dislike about the Big Bang Theory, from the typical geek's point of view: It plays in stereotypes of geekdom for cheap laughs, makes non-sensical gags, and has a laugh track in 2015. But what does the rest of America (well, the part of America not making it the number one show on television) think? FCC complaints recently released accuse the show of everything from animal cruelty to subliminal messaging, demanding that the sitcom be ripped from the airwaves lest it ruin America. The full complaints for your reading pleasure.

I've never watched it

I'm such a geek that I honestly thought this discussion would be about the real big bang theory.

I haven't watched sitcoms or network television in over twenty years.

As a self professed geek, I get a lot more out of the sophomoric humor in Friends than I ever have out of the BBT. Or maybe it's all just a moo point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Or age of the universe.

I've never seen the show either. When I first read the headline I was thinking it was going to be a story about how non-geeks don't like the big bang theory because it implies the Universe is far older than their religious teachings say it is.

The most irritating thing...

The most irritating thing about Big Bang Theory is my relatives telling me I would love it because I'm smart and into computers.

After posting this condescending comment, I realised that there is a non-zero probability that the submitter may have not properly researched his assertion (rare as that would be). I apologise to you both.
