That's the catholic spin-off
Prequel.
This is why he shoots up the school.
“traditional American school shooting”, it’s like apple pie and baseball.

This is big bang theory if it was good
It was good in the first season or at least until Penny became smarter than the boys and everyone got married.
No, it wasn't good, even before everyone and everything got Flanderised. It was always a shitty sitcom that only got a laugh because they played audio of people laughing.
So many people find it just hilariously funny that it's kind of freaky. It looks like the dumbest show but for years I've heard people just gush about how good it is.
bbt was made for the masses. not for the skewed subset of the population that frequents reddit or lemmy or (insert social site name here). and the masses liked the show enough for it and its prequel spin-off to go a combined 19 seasons.
I hate this. I have a physics degree and have been of Reddit/Lemmy for ages and I loved the first seasons of the BBT. Such blatant generalisation.

I watched about ten minutes of an episode once. Didn't see the appeal and thought maybe something was wrong with my sense of humour.
I watched a clip once where the main dude said he was going to go play a game on his N64 emulator. Then the studio audience LAUGHED at that very basic statement. The fuck?
Like what?? Lol. I can't even comprehend that, and I'm trying very hard.

I've had people say I would like that show, that made me angry. I hadn't even articulated in my head why I didn't like it at that point, but I knew it was terrible anyway.
I also had people tell me I'd like Pearl Jam, because I like Soundgarden. No, Pearl Jam don't do it for me. Soundgarden do, in spite of being published by Sony and relying on dubbing in their singles which couldn't be performed live.
Young Sheldon is actually kind of alright. The writers have clearly heard the criticisms against Big Bang. It's not a stellar show, but it deserves its standing while Big Bang is just all wrong.
Thank you for disliking Pearl Jam, there are some of us out there!
It's the voice, it's very polarising imo.
Pearl Jam came on the radio a couple months back. My daughter looked at me, with shock and disgust in her eyes. We had been listening to Soundgarden, and Spotify started playing songs its algorithm decided was similar. After a moment, she said "What is wrong with Spotify? This is horrible. What happened to Chris Cornell?"
I have never been so proud.

No, it wasn’t good.
In your opinion. Some people may enjoy it and that’s fine. I’m sure there are people that don’t like playing Factorio, but to me it’s awesome. Just like I don’t like FIFA but many do.
It's depressing that this needs to be said. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.

It's bully comedy.
I enjoyed it not gonna lie.
Probably thank to the fact that I'm Deaf and can't hear the laugh track.
But I remember when it was on the cable tv, they actually showed it in the closed captioned suddenly out of nowhere. And it was so annoying to read (audience laughter) every other sentence. I stopped watching after seeing that episode.
Picked it up again recently (on one of streaming service) only cuz I just wanted to have some show I can just pick up and watch. I like binging shows.
It was decent for the most parts, but one part I didn't enjoy was when they got baby.

Well I ate that onion.
Lol i made it all the way down to Bazinga before I realized this probably isn’t factual
What makes you think this isn't factual
I was going to say the website itself, but since satire has an annoying habit of being prophetic, you make good a point.
Nothing personal kid, Bazinga!
Holy shit lol, I can see the onion getting sued for this
It’s not the onion, it’s The Chaser who are based in Australia. And I guarantee they don’t give a shit.
Yeah. They'd definitely have some fancy lawyers. Probably gets sued every few months
