Season 1 is the worst- wayyyy too many "oh man nerds amirite" jokes.
Or that oft-quoted Sheldon line, "Yes, well, I’m polymerized tree sap and you’re an inorganic adhesive, so whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns to its original trajectory and adheres to you."
ANYONE WHO CAN SAY THAT WOULD KNOW THE ORIGINAL LINE.
That's a quote from something?!
The best jokes, I think, are when we're laughing with the gang, not at them. So it's incredibly lame to see Leonard try to fit in at a football party. It's incredibly hilarious to see the group play increasingly weird practical jokes on each other.
Yep.
My other complaint is that it tended (not so much in this season) to rely way too much on a reset button. Or rather, there was very little continuity. Something would happen in one episode (Leonard and Penny would almost sleep together is a big one, but there's lots of little things), and then it would never be mentioned again.
Yeah, the humor can be really hit or miss sometimes.
Insert theme music here.

BBT enrages me. It has a lot of good jokes, but SO MANY cliches

It's "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you" *NM*

I can't manage to sit through these things, and I'm definitely target audience

One of my favorite shows. Definitely my favorite sitcom. HIMYM is pretty good, too. *NM*

I concur about the canned laughter.

And expecting you to laugh with them. Too pushy. Too manipulative.

I am okay with awkward silence. If laugh tracks are the alternative.
