the big bang theory

I first heard about this sitcom from a Multiply contact. Initially, I was apprehensive about watching it. I was afraid it was going to be replete of geeky stereotypes and will be downright demeaning.

Well, the show is indeed full of geeky stereotypes. What's fun about it is these geeks have FUN being geeks. They poke fun at each others mistakes and shower insults on incorrect equations. They play their video games, discuss gastronomic redundancies, play around with sending electronic signals around the planet and generally enjoy themselves. After listening to the witty and brainy banter you actually feel that you've raised your IQ a few points. In the end you find that you're not laughing at them because they are geeks. You're laughing at them because they're laughing at themselves. They are in reality laughing with us as we laugh at them. Even geeks have a sense of humor.

Oh, for crying out loud. Just watch it. If you're not laughing after one episode, you probably just didn't get it.
