September 10, 2008: Recreating the Big Bang

Sundae · 09-23-2011, 11:48 AM

The Big Bang Theory makes me cringe.
To me it's a typical American comedy in that they forgot to put in the comedy and instead just used stereotypical characters, some shouting and occasional gay innuendo.
(John Barrowman auditioned as Will for Will and Grace - he was rejected for being too straight. So they employed a straight actor instead. But hey, thank FSM)

Sorry.
I thought Friends was awful, so what do I know?

ETA - to balance, there are British comedy shows that I find lame too.

There are British comedy shows since Monty Python? I kid, I'm kidding, I swear!
