“Really well done, with a cast of incredible actors and actresses. “
I don’t think the acting is that good. The script is really good. The whole “smart guy with science but can’t understand humans makes funny joke” has been done with Spock and with Data on the Star Trek series.
And the guy who has Obsessive compulsive disorder has been done before in “the odd couple”.
Big Bang sort of married these two concepts.
To each his own. I think the comedic acting is as good as I’ve ever seen.
There’s truly nothing new under the sun but I think BBT is actually quite original on the whole. There are also a lot of veiled Frasier references in there, to the point that some of the writers must be the same. (another brilliantly written show).
But borrowing a theme is not a bad thing necessarily. Darrell, Larry and Larry was obviously a take on the old Andy Griffith spoof, the brothers in the Darling family. They both worked.
oops..I meant Larry, Darrell and Darrell .
