You don't know anyone like that?

^^ Actually, it's exactly why I like the show. It's good to have some geek street cred.
Being a geek now is a lot cooler than it was growing up in the 1990s, the decade of "attitude". We didn't have smartphones and gadgets and there was essentially no internet.

I saw several episodes of this show and thought none of them were funny.
Glad to hear Bialik will be okay, though.

Agreed on both.
The Celebrity aspect had nothing to do with it. The "Idiot driver syndrome" did. I think it when ever I read about a drunk driver. Or some old person who hit the gas instead of the break. Or, as in this case, when someone who is not from an area causing an accident.
^ I've always thought we should have things like driverless cars, or Personal Rapid Transit.
I can't be the only one who misread this and cringed thinking she would only have eight fingers left as a result of the accident? :S
Glad she's okay and hope she'll have a quick recovery.
TV has been living on stereotypes for as long as it has existed, it's just that the Nerd stereotype was usually a single character in a group of people. Here it's a show about exclusively nerds.
It's a well done show.. it plays with some clichés but honestly they are not that made up because i've met many Nerds with character aspects that are similar to those on the show. In my local gaming store we have a sort of "Captain Sweatpants" (a type of person very devoid of any fashion or image sense), we have the creepy woman stalker type and everything in between so the show is not very off from reality.
I agree with some that the best time was season 1-3 when they also did more science related gags but as soon as the show really made its breakout those types of gags all but vanished to make it more appealing to the massess.
It's still a very fun show and the addtition of the two women including Mayim was well done and they are now an integrated and funny part of the show (i especially like Bernadette for her cuteness hiding just the right amount of crazyness and kinkyness
).
I worked in a comic shop while I was at University.
Trust me, it's not a sitcom, it's a documentary...
Same here, put in 3 years at a place in Nashville called Collectors World. It's much more documentary than you'd think, playing to the stereotype strengthens as much as weaknesses. And perhaps just maybe a little letting society at large know just how much they need a tech geek from time to time now.
