Never liked it. Made intelligent people look like dorks, misfits and limp-wrists.

I didn’t like it much for pretty much the same reason.

It just perpetuated the typical Hollywood stereotype of scientists & engineers.

Another example of Hollywood creativity! /sarcasm!!!!

Made fun of everyone but look who ended up with the good looking women.

I’ve been around highly-intelligent dorks and misfits my whole life. It’s a funny show and everyone in my D&D group and my World of Warcraft guild loves it.

You mean they looked like your typical bunch of university faculty?

Post my military service I worked as a receiving clerk part time for UPS in Pasadena while completing my college education.

Cal Tech professors would come by to ship their packages. They split almost 50/50 between regular guys and “ dorks, misfits and limp-wrists.” I have numerous funny stories about some of these guys.

On a better note one PHD student invited me over to his house where his wife prepared a wonderful dinner. Afterwards we went over to his thesis project Where he was using a particle accelerator in search of a certain theoretical sub atomic particle. The project was manned 24/7 by various masters/PHD students. Afterwards we went to his office and I watched/listened to a discussion between him and another PHD student. I always likened their conversation about various Physics books/theories/physicists as a discussion between 2 kids about their favorite comic books/characters.

The BIG Bang Theory isn’t so far off from some aspects of these guys!
