ugh I really like that show, it’s one of my comfort shows, and I really like the extended Big Bang Universe. It’s sad the show gets such a bad rap but it’s also not entirely unwarranted. The characters do feel really fleshed out, like they’re actual people who are the result of their life experiences. But if you can’t stand the way that Sheldon is, or the laugh track, or any combination thereof, the show really is impenetrable.
And annoyingly Young Sheldon goes on to be a really amazing prequel, but you need to watch and enjoy BBT first to get the most out of YS.
Honestly I hated BBT for the longest time too. Only a few years ago could I actually get into it.
Hating on big bang theory is how you signal your superiority online, it’s the same on lemmy as it was on reddit. Liking big bang (or friends, or…) is for normies, and sheep, and people here are /r/verysmart.
For what it’s worth I also enjoyed it, and sometimes put on a random episode (just like with friends). Haven’t seen young Sheldon tho, I don’t like prequels for some reason (same as better call Saul).
Fair. YS really is to BBT what BCS is to BB. So if you already don’t like BCS then YS is a hard sell.
Do keep an eye out for Stuart Fails to Save the Universe tho. Sci-fi sequel to BBT, sadly weekly episodes but quite enjoyable from the 2 episodes I’ve watched.
