Big Bang Theory

I had never watched The Big Bang Theory until the other night when one of my room mates had it on. I never chose to watch it because it seems annoying and cliche, and I was right. The show is about a bunch of "nerds" and their "hot" blonde room mate who happens to be a girl. They play so harshly on stereotypes in the show that it is hard to enjoy it or even take it remotely seriously. All of the dorky, nerdy room mates where glasses and un-stylish clothing. Aside for the stereotypical look that they are given, all of their interests are in things such as math, science, theories, and formulas. They have no sense of what to do when talking to girls or even other men who are not like them and it actually kind of sad. Not all people who are intelligent don't know how to dress of communicate with the outside world, the creators of the show bring it to an ultimate extreme to the point where the characters are unrelatable because they are trying so hard to be the vision of what people think of when they think of nerds. Aside from the male roles on the show, the females are no better. The blonde female room mate is everything you would expect out of the only blonde girl on the show. She is ditsy, clueless and the complete opposite of all the dorky men she lives with, yet some how they get along. This show is supposed to break from the norm and create a show with a slight hint of intellegance but instead it completely backs up every stereotype of smart people and how blonde girls are supposed to act. It is not witty or amusing, but more so insulting and overplayed. They need to downplay the roles so people can relate to them and not find them so irritating.
