Watching Stuff With Our Brains Turned On

News Season: CBS’ The Big Bang Theory

In theory, the show could be funny.

In practice, it’s not even close.

The story of two total geeks (or, perhaps more accurately, nerds) living together in a vaguely run-down apartment building who get a new neighbor–a totally hot girl.

The Big Bang Theory misses on every possible note it can. Well, that’s not entirely true. Their theme song, performed by Bare Naked Ladies, is pretty good. Not great, but infinitely better than what’s supposed to pass for humor in the show.

It is obvious the writers haven’t watched anything involving smart but socially “different” characters since Revenge of the Nerds. They’re certainly not watching Beauty and the Geek (which has better dialog–and it’s not scripted!). Chances are, they’re working off of the same crib sheet at the scribes for Chuck.

Nothing new here. Nothing funny here. May as well move along.
