I don't see any old threads on this. My stepdaughter introduced husband and I to this programme a few months ago. I'd heard of it but the description didn't appeal to me, and when someone says a sitcom is funny I'm always suspicious as so many are not. This programme began in 2007.

But we've become totally hooked on this show and are binge watching. A minimum of one big belly laugh on each episode, often many more. We are now on Season 6. There are 9 seasons so far and it looks like Season 10 begins again in Sept. We watch on Netflix.

Anyone else a fan?
 

Yes, we love it. but get a bit annoyed with the mind numbing relentless repeats on UK TV. Jim Parson (Sheldon) is priceless!
 
One of the better sitcoms out there today..

Johnny Galecki (Leonard) stared as the son of Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

The actress that plays Sheldon's mom (Laurie Metcalf) played Rosanne Barr's sister on the Rosanne show. Another character in BBT was on Rosanne, too (Sara Gilbert).

BBT has to be the funniest show on TV. I've been addicted for years. Jim Parsons is a fantastic actor and is "Sheldon" to the core.
 
I didn't like Sheldon very much at first either. I know a guy almost like Sheldon.:) My favorite character is "Raj" Koothrappali. He doesn't have very many lines, but they're always so funny.
 
I found Sheldon annoying at first but now I think he's great! We're nearly to Season 7 already even though we haven't been watching that long.
 
I haven't watched in a long while, maybe I'll give it another shot. Sheldon's annoying existence and the others playing off it was, partly, what made the show great. Someone is always that one friend we all love and hate, not literally hate, but, you know what I mean.
 
Amy..Sheldon's GF..

Was watching a show and "Howard" was on it. He was asked if there will be another season of the BBT and he said their contract is only for a year..........
 
I turned my nose up at BBT one time when it came on the TV while at step-son & DIL's house; she mentioned that BBT is actually really well written and funny. I respect her eval, but as of yet haven't given BBT a real chance. It's on every day(reruns?) on DishTV, will have to devote 22 minutes of my life for an unbiased appraisal.
 
I am very, very picky about sitcoms and most just seem stupid and unfunny and they have for decades. I had no intention of watching this one either until stepdaughter put on a few episodes while we were at her house. And we go hooked. They keep adding more and more great characters. And there are so many good lines in it if you pay attention. Love the Sheldon and Amy story.
