I also find Raj to be hysterical.
"Aw man Scooter sucks. He's like the Aquaman of the Muppet Babies".

It's one of the best shows, imo. Everything about it is done perfectly, even some small moments are amazing.

One of the few shows I still watch. It's funny and not as filthy as some of the other CBS shows.

It's a really BAD show. It reminds me a lot of that episode of South Park where they joke about using manatees to write Family Guy. In spam the jokes are SO formulaic that it actually feels like that. Half of Howard's lines are about brisket, half of Raj's are these thin culturally insensitive jokes about India (I'm all about insensitivity if it's done well. Jokes about Vishnu and slaves or whatever are tired and just ing stupid). Then you have probably the most unlikeable TV character in history in the form of Leonard who's character arc is nonexistent through the entire duration of the show thus far. The saving grace is Jim Parsons. I'm not a fan of sitcoms anyway, but the only times I've ever laughed out loud at the show is when he's said or done something with really good comic timing. The guy who plays Howard is also really good at it but unfortunately his lines are so ridiculous and unfunny that there's only so much he can do. I appreciate some of the jokes about Battlestar Galactica or Nathan Fillion or whatever, but it's usually laid on SO thick (because it's written for stupid people, let's face it) that it comes across as too forced to be funny. So yeah it sucks, but there's a couple of things to like about it.

Why watch it if you don't like it so much? You have to be the King of the "stupid people".

C'mon spam is like the biggest show on TV. I could tell you all about The Sopranos too but I've seen about 5 episodes.

Why watch it if you don't like it so much? You have to be the King of the "stupid people". This is a Catch 22 statement. He knows so much about it and lays it out so well, but he shouldn't watch it because he doesn't like it? Yet if he started by saying "I've only watched like 10 eps ever", half of everyone would have said "You have hardly seen enough to make a worthwhile comment on the show"... There's no winning there. But he's spot on from what I've seen of the show. It's utterly boring. The show is terrible. I'd rather watch 2.5 Men post-Sheen.
