I actually prefer Bernadette to Penny. Didn't really like her in 8 Simple Rules (even though I love the show), still don't really like her now. Also; to the people saying it has no overall plot. It kinda does. The Leonard/Penny thing is the overall story. 1. MIND BLOWN. I never noticed that at all until you pointed it out. 2. That's the problem. That's it. In most shows there are 3 or 4 overarching plot points per season. spam has 3 or 4 in its entire run. That doesn't necessarily make it a good or bad show. You don't need to be, nor should you have to be so formulaic to create something that's worth watching. Look at Seinfeld, it certainly didn't have an all encompassing plot line, and many people regard Seinfeld as being one of the best sitcoms ever produced. I personally really enjoy the show. Howard is easily my favorite character, I find myself laughing more when he's on screen than at any other point during a given episode. I do think that the last few seasons have progressively lost a bit of the "touch," and the Big Bang Theory has certainly already peaked at this point and is on the decline.

I love this show and so does my girlfriend, I was watching an extra on either season 4 or 5 on blu-ray and they film the show in front of a live audience.

I enjoy it. I bought seasons 1-5 on blu last month when they were on sale at amazon. Jim Parsons is just fantastic as Sheldon.

I have liked spam since the start and dont find the laugh track distracting at all.
I have to say 5 seasons in & Penny has started to become a touch unlikeable for me.......

I don't really see why a laugh track is that bad, especially in a show where a lot of the jokes aren't going to be understood by the audience.
Top Cat had a laugh track and it was a great show.

I Personally love the show too. I always ind myself watching it when nothing else is on. I do find the laugh track annoying but I tune it out now most of the time.

I just expect more from sitcoms. Cartoons can do the whole unresolved ending thing in episodes because they're cartoons, but with sitcoms I just expect more continuity and proper plots, which spam doesn't really do.

Top Cat had a laugh track and it was a great show. youtube search 'big bang without laugh'. you'll quickly see that laugh tracks are similar to signs letting cows know which grass to or not eat.

TBH it's really bad without a laugh track. Feels like something is missing.

Feels like something is missing. A lot of sitcoms nowadays don't have live studio audiences or laughter tracks because they don't need them and makes you realise how annoying the laughter tracks actually are

considering that the laugh tracks they use are from the 60s and 70s, it's bizarre that they're using dead people's laughter and pretty creepy.

I can't say the laugh track bothers me in the least. I suppose it's just the era I grew up in when all shows had them.
