I must confess...
I've become a bit of a fan of the Big Bang Theory lately. It appeals to my nerdlike nature.

the writing isn't the strongest, but it's an engaging cast with a good chemistry
been watching Galecki/Gilbert/Metcalf since Roseanne, and Mayim Bialik's role has hugely expanded in the current season
(I could never stomach Blossom though)

It took me a few episodes, a mate is a fan and asked to watch a few while at my house
Before I knew it I was drawn in, too many familiarities not to really, and the cast is very strong and the writing very sharp at times, very character driven, and unlike many American comedies it doesn't get too dumb or mawkish on you.
I wouldn't say it was unmissable but there's been some stand out episodes that I could watch again n again, such as the time Sheldon gets a robot avatar, the constant smug gurning of the man kills me everytime, and that for me is a good sign that they're getting something right!

As a sit com it has its moments
I just don't get why actual nerdy people would be into it. I mean they say "youtube" and "blog" a lot and sheldon does a great aspie impersonation but saying it's a nerdy show is like saying some guy making cheese on toast is a cooking show.

I had tried to watch it a number of times, but always switched off...
...then recently, I decided to start from the pilot and give a three episode chance to grip me. I'm now half way through series three.
