Television Show/Cartoon/etc. Thread

[miyabi95_]

i sometimes wonder why i have friends who like to watch shows that make fun of a certain type of people (i.e. portlandia picking fun at people living in portland, scrubs picking fun at medical care workers, etc.) but then when they come across big bang theory, they're just completely offended by how they depict enthusiasts of "nerd culture." sure, it's highly exaggerated and at times makes no sense, but isn't that the point of these kinds of sitcoms, to blow things out of proportion for comedic purposes?

i mean everyone in my family loves that show, so it must be tasteful in humor. i don't see why it's not a good show besides that the running gags tend to remain static - that's the only reason i can think of.

but really...in a time where people make fun of each other in their daily lives, they should be able to take a joke from a TV show. lol
