Aged like a first-class bottle of milk.

I watched two episodes before bouncing off hard. No idea how it got as popular as it did, because the jokes were just low effort and lazy.

I refer to it as geek culture black face.

hey penny! i´m a nerd without social skills. here´s a niche pop-culture reference you won´t understand. BOTSWANA

Laugh track bullshit that basically tracks as “you-know-of-star-trek-then-you-know-nerd”

Call them all nerdy!… then give them miracle careers, a girlfriend with porn doll voice and no real heartache and yea…

I loved the nerdiness of the show but it was more like they were making fun of them instead of laughing with them.

I totally related to almost all of the culture since I’m a giant nerd

It started out great but ended up just being mostly sex related humour, not science.

Shallow and pedantic

In my opinion, it’s not as bad as people claim it to be, but It’s far from being great as well.

I think it was easier to watch when it came out, but from memory I enjoyed it. I remember thinking the show was kinda accurate regarding nerdy references (compared to other movies and series of the time) and I thought it was cool.

I like it. It’s dumb fun, but it’s funny and I like to laugh.

I loved it initially, I thought the first three seasons were brilliant, and a validation of the rising mainstream geek cultural infusion happening in the US

I binged all seasons and it cracked me up to watch the cast go from eating a ton of food on screen to just gesturing with pickles and working out 😂

By extension, Young Sheldon features a not at all realistic genius kid, who’s arrogant and having zero clue in socialising, but his attitude is extremely confident. I don’t find the protagonist likable at all.

There was something about it I found obnoxious. It was just kind of lazy and, although the cast did a decent job, the writing was meh.

The “laughs” all felt from the outside. There was very little humor aimed at the people who would self identify as nerds and way more “haha look at these nerds and how quirky they are” set ups. Sure there are misogynist asshole nerds but usually they need to grow beyond that to find friends and partners. As far as I could tell none of them did. Sheldon and Howard were still super sexist, Leonard was still passive and whiny, but the story pushed forward foisting “perfect matches” on them.

Throughout the whole thing there was very little actual geek humor, and it felt denigrating to actual nerds.
