Compare and contrast:

The Big Bang Theory uses its so-called “geek” characters as the butt of jokes, has only a superficial understanding of their personalities, and has a really, really limited range…

I used to like TBBT

And then I actually started to listen to the jokes

Leonard: “Some comment about how lonely he is.”

Sheldon: “Some comment about how great it is being a nerd because nerds don’t need friends.”

Sheldon: “Vague reference to science fiction.”

Penny: “What.”
