HIMYM/Big Bang Thread
New season begins tonight.
Someone less lazy than me can start separate threads if so desired. |

I love HIMYM but never got BBT, everything seems so forced on the show.

i dunno...i find the geek-humor of it appealing. particularly because it's inter-geek rather than like non-geeks making fun of geeks.
plus you get those great sheldon-facts that you can bring into everyday life (kinda like you can with Dr. Reed on Criminal Minds)

BBT is one of the best sitcoms in years.
These need to be separate threads though, I do not watch HIMYM.

I don't see why these should be combined. Especially since they aren't back-to-back anymore (and even before that, they were different types of sitcoms).

Are we really bitching about the fact that two shows are in one thread? Have we become a bunch of women?

Really? I thought Robin would have it sewn up with you cause of her hockey background.

I don't care about it all that much, but it really is pretty stupid that they're in the same thread.

They both have really annoying lead characters, so they share that.

I didn't know she had a hockey background, so that narrows the gap I suppose, but when in doubt, blonde > brunette.

No problems with the combined threads. Im actually surprised that people who like one, don't like the other

People who only watch one or the other should really give both shows a chance. I like BBT better, but these are the only two shows with a laugh track that I can stomach. |

If I saw still pictures of each, I would think Robin is better looking, but I find Penny more attractive overall.

good episodes last night i thought. not "blow your mind amazing" but it was nice to see barney+robin finally get-together, and it was nice to see penny+leonard finally hook up. Those types of episodes are always tough for comedies and shows that have tension built in around the two characters getting together (thinking more of penny/leonard in this case particularly), and i have no doubt that it'll continue to be an on-again/off-again type of thing, but i thought given that they had two shows last night where they had to have sort of "payoff" in that sense that the shows were decently strong.
on an unrelated note - because i'm a lazy network exec's greatest hope, i refrained from changing the channel and watched the pilot of the new Jenna Elfman show that they stuck at 8:30 - gotta say I wasn't digging it at all.

HIMYM was good. BBT was not as good, but some fun lines (like the evolution "theory" getting Sheldon to go).

like i said earlier - i think they were both difficult episodes. i thought BBT was pretty funny...if anything I thought it was probably the funnier of the two, but only slightly. Like a 3pt win in the NFL

I though Raj playing along with the Vulcan Mind trick was great. And Walowitz's 'stach as well

Vulcan Mind Trick? He was using the Force. [/nerd]. Jeez Bug; just what I expect from a Dodger fan.

Is there even such a thing as a Vulcan mind trick? It's like Bug got the Vulcan mind meld and the Jedi mind trick messed up .

The last two weeks of How I Met Your Mother have brought back a lot of the awesome that had been missing earlier in the season.

Probably has to do a lot with Barney not worrying about a girlfriend. It's what made the show what it is today!

I've given the Big Bang theory more than one shot but ever since it was pointed out that they have the most absurdly synched laugh track outside the Disney Channel I can't take that show seriously. Too bad as it definitely has parts with potential, but the overall package doesn't do it for me. |

That's actually part of the whole joke. Although it's at least 2 or 3 levels below the real joke.

LOL, super-fan wank!
There was this great article on HIMYM and BBT and how they are lumped together (CBS comedies, same night), they are very, very different in how they are done. IIRC, the article was stating that BBT is usually very threadbare on plot, but uses the characters and their quirks for laughs, while HIMYM is very different in that it jams in tons and tons of plot (almost too much for a half hour show) and uses that to drive the show. Not that HIMYM doesn't have interesting characters, but they are secondary to the plot and the story that is trying to be told. It was very interesting view and solidified why I'm much more of a HIMYM fan.
