The beginning of Fall means saying goodbye to my favorite summer shows, True Blood, The Big C (ending it's second season soon), but it also means saying hello to old friends that took the summer off and to new friends who might find a place on my DVR or weekly viewing schedule. Some shows have new players in the game, others with the same cast. While I haven't seen any of the brand new shows, admittedly, I did happen to catch the season premiere of 'Two and a half men.' Though never a fan of the show before, I watched to see what the buzz was all about and found myself chuckling at the antics of Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer. I don't know if it is a show I will begin to frequent regularly, but it is one that I could see myself watching from time to time.
It's been a long time since I have had a favorite show, but from day one of Glee and Hot in Cleveland (returning in November to TV Land's lineup) they both have filled my heart, as has my newest discovery, the Big Bang Theory....funny enough, two of the three embody the essence of geek (Gleek!?) or nerd, but somehow I relate. I may not have the musical theater talent of the kids at McKinley High, or a super genius brain or mechanical know how as the Cal Tech Poly gang, but like the characters on these two shows, I walk to the beat of my own drum, just like the girls from 'Hot in Cleveland' do as well. No I'm not comparing myself to the people of these shows, but sometimes it helps to be able to relate to characters. Sometimes it's even like laughing at yourself. Okay, perhaps a little comparison, but no more than the typical, "I've done that" or "that is something I would do" moments.
It's been a long time since a show has made me laugh like 'The Big Bang Theory' does and I mean truly laugh out loud. I take little comfort in knowing that I laugh at people on 'Scare Tactics', but somehow that doesn't seem to count. TBBT is hands down, smart and funny and in its own way, silly.
I do think it is funny that this show is a hit and it is based on a bunch of "nerds" if you will. Twenty years ago being a nerd was almost the equivalent of being a social outcast or pariah....trust me, I had experience. If I had a dollar for every time I was called a nerd....well you get the point. I know the show pokes fun at their nerdiness, but people watching this show love them and that's the point. And I love it!
I do pose this one question though...why the heck did it take three seasons to pass before I started to watch the Big Bang Theory? I don't even know how I happened upon the show, but I do know that I have been a fan since 2010 (the shows fourth season) and I do know that I have three seasons to catch up on and i am sure they will be three fun seasons!
knock! knock! knock! WATCH the big bang theory!
