I’m watching
The Big Bang Theory
The complete box set was my Christmas present from Tory Boy (excellent child!).
The show is about a socially inept group of nerds, some of whom live together.
They love Star Trek, Doctor Who, Harry Potter and gaming.
They spend most of their time on computers and/or eating.
They are awkward and demanding know-it-alls.
They have peculiar rules and rituals which baffle outsiders.
I think it’s based on my family.

I have never watched this but now I am tempted!
My two don’t like this one, because of the canned laughter, but adore the IT Crowd. Have you seen that?
Canned laughter?! Wash your mouth out with soap!
It’s taped in front of an audience. Check this gag reel, especially at 5:57 and 7:24, when the audience provoke the actors:

Didn’t mean to offend. Only reporting what the boys told me….
Not offended – outraged
and what about the IT crowd?
Have you seen it?
No, I haven’t. I’ve heard of it, though. The fella with the huge hair was in a Ben Stiller film I turned off the other night, and Chris Moone (?) is doing well for himself, isn’t he?
Got to be honest, I wanted to like it but couldn’t manage a laugh
that clip maybe won’t help hugely as it is a little out of context
That’s what I thought. It’s obviously a catchphrase.
A great choice from your excellent child! very funny show!
I love box sets! this one sounds like fun for you to enjoy – and happy new year to you too!
Never seen it, never been tempted. ha ha.
Jan got season 4 for Christmas and we’ve already watched the first two DVDs
Love it.
Lets not worry about the show – I want to meet your family
Meet them? You can have them!
Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows, ever. It is wonderful… never a bad episode. And it’s still on, and the shows are still great. Has not lost it’s cleverness, at all.
This is one of my favorite TV series. It reminds me of one of my oldest friends Alen from primary school, whom I am still friends with. We always thought he would become a physicist. Instead he got involved in radio and voice overs and political commentary. He is possibly the smartest person I know. It was he who suggested the Chinese Christmas Eve and I am forever in his debt. He also loves the Big Bang. He can relate.
That seems a waste of talent. Does he regret it?
Tilly… Tilly… Tilly… it’s Laurie. I love Penny and Sheldon together. I know that they aren’t “together” but they have a dynamic that you don’t get to see very often on t.v.
Six Word Response to Six Word Saturday post. “Then you should be getting royalties!”
This honestly is my all time favorite show but then again I am an academic. I know way too many people that are actually like the characters.
Bet it’s not funny in real life
Would you believe I’ve never seen that show? Most others don’t believe it.
Happy Saturday!
I’ve only discovered it this year, thanks to my boys nagging me.
I have only ever watched the TV Trailers. This weekend they are having a Big Bang Theory marathon.
Did you watch it?
Sorry, I can’t return the visit; there’s no link to your blog.
One of my favorite old shows!!
We love the Big Bang Theory! What a great present from your wonderful son.
Saw part of that show for the first time last night….don’t watch much tv..but what I saw was cute.
Glad you said that, Tilly. I wouldn’t dare! Model family, yours.
Model like those snap apart plastic aeroplanes?
my son loves this show!
I just have a problem every time I look at Maya Bailik….. she reminds me of her younger self!
Blossom! Did you know she has a PhD in Neuroscience?
Great present from your son! You can see more of the cast on Youtube…I am a huge fan…..I love Sheldon and all his sayings…..Bazinga!!!
I never saw that clever practical joke coming…
I have a whole family of Sheldon Coopers. In fact, I might be one myself
Watching the Big Bang Theory was like coming home…
Absolutely great show!
Weird and scary. Tommorrow they will rule the world. Dianne
Not necessarily a bad thing…
Oh I love BBT. And also love IT crowd. ….but I also love Star trek, Star wars and Harry Potter. Maybe I biased.
Or you’re a nerd, like us
I am not a fan of the show but that gag reel was awesome! I hope you enjoy the show as much I did the outtakes!
I’ve never missed an episode, despite the fact that my professional life is filled with Sheldons–you’d think I’d get enough of him all day long, want to avoid him for entertainment purposes…but no.
I’ve never been able to get into that show but the way you describe it I may have to give it a second chance on Netflix. Happy 6WS!
Definitely worth another go, especially if you’re into sci-fi.
Great show … that I only started watching some months ago.
Me too
