>>>It does NOT have a laugh track

You don’t know how TV works. Look up “sweetening.” What I saw did not warrant the laughter orgasms I heard. That was fake laughter.

Plus, did you know they also *pay* people to be in the audience to laugh? Given the rotten scripts on most shows, they’d have to!

I don’t miss a show. My wife got me hooked. I think she likes it because she married a geek, but it really is funny. You do have to be in the right mood. If my mind’s not on it, it just doesn’t “work”.

I haven’t seen it yet, but this was the straw etc, others have mentioned it, so I’m going to now. I like it when there is witty dialogue, hopefully some of that in here then considering the recommendation.

>>>That settles it then… we’re adding a laugh track to all of our videos going forward. ;)

Why? You want to make then *un*funny?

Unfortunately, the show is on at the same time as Chuck (which is full of gadgets, including the OQO and iPhone), so I’m already a half hour into that by the time BBT is on. However, what I do catch of BBT is so good that I’m planning on getting it on DVD.

Maybe the show got better after the first one (caught it for free on XboxLive), but that first one did little for me. My summation of the show: two geeks living across the hall from a hot woman and funniness ensues when one of the geeks tries to overcome his geek shyness while the other is content just being a geek. That show formula just doesn’t do it for me.

If you like Jim Parsons you must watch the movie “Garden State” which came out in 2004. It has to be the funniest movie ever.

Parsons has the funniest scene in the whole movie. It involves breakfast, a knight costume, and Klingon language. It’s hilarious.

That settles it then… we’re adding a laugh track to all of our videos going forward. ;)

Yep, love this series….they nail geek culture week in and week out….the best new series this season and its pairing with HIMYM makes for the best hour on TV. I am also hooked on Chuck, while not a cool in the tech area has me coming back each week to watch.

It has … a … laugh track!

The only time I watch something with a frikkin laugh track is if it’s from England!

First of all, Britcoms are actually *funny*.

Second of all, even the damn laugh track is better!

I went to the site, watched the intro to one, cringed at the fake laughter, and gave up.

I don’t miss this show, and it is awesome… and I have to agree in that Parsons’ acting is impeccable.

DECEMBER 04, 2007 –

Look for CBS to begin airing sister pay cable network Showtime hit drama Dexter sometime in midseason if the Writers Strike is prolonged, and for the broadcast network to bring back freshman sitcom The Big Bang Theory and first-year drama Moonlight next season.

Speaking at the 35th annual UBS Global Media & Communications Conference in New York today (Dec. 4), Les Moonves, CBS Corp. president & CEO, mentioned the two freshman shows as likely to return next season, and that CBS would be looking to air some Showtime shows to supplement its schedule should the Writers Guild strike continue and effect the return of first-run shows on the network.
