i saw part of an episode where one of the neckbeards sexually harassed Penny, said it was okay because he was lonely, and then she apologized to him for being mad.
turned it off and will not watch it again. death to all bazingas.
Be glad you stopped watching there, that guy (Howard) does a lot more sex pest shit on the show. And Penny sets him up with one of her friends, despite knowing all about his sleazy character.
Incredible writing, I know. Chuck Lorre masterclass
One my fiance's friends in China recommended this show for learning English. She liked other schlock - Friends and Monk were entertaining enough - but we tried to watch Big Bang together and episode 1 was enough for us... I guess it was the pilot but that's somehow more confusing, that it actually got picked up.
I've enjoyed problematic things in the past with later regret upon reflection, but I got mental allergic reactions to Big Bazinga Theory from the very start.
Every time it was on a screen anywhere, such as when I was visiting family or in-laws, even a few seconds of it at a time wasn't just irritating, it was infuriating. Even before I knew what the show was called, its entire presentation pissed me off and its gross misogyny was there from the start.
THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES :so-true: laughtrack
OH ITS ON LIKE ALDERAAN :so-true: laughtrack
YOU CAN'T GO ON A DATE! IT'S HALO(tm)(r) NIGHT :soypoint-1: :freeze-gamer: :soypoint-2: laughtrack
I'll admit I watched the first few seasons, but the series really lost the plot when they decided to try give all the male main characters girlfriends/wives. The entire point of the show was that you were supposed to make fun of the guys, not to empathise with them. Like why should I ever feel sorry for sex pest Howard or gigantic asshole Sheldon? I don't care that Howard grew up with an overbearing mother, or that Sheldon saved all of their lives by throwing their homemade bomb in the elevator. It doesn't excuse their asshole behaviour.
People watched it and won't admit it.

I will confess that I liked it in 2012-2013
