Ever watched Big Bang Theory without the laughing?

Shows you just how unfunny the show really is, so many gaps and pauses to put in the laugh track, that crap worked in the 90's, not any more.

Best part of the entire run so far is any episode with evil Wil Wheaton.
 
Actually i still find some bits hilarious love sheldon but i do admit at some spots it aint as funny or a bit awkward but i still is okay for example "Friends" that has backstage laughter every 5 seconds even though most conedies nowadays have backstage laughter i can remember the latest series of "Red Dwarf" they done a whole series without laughter it was boring but still found it funny
 
The problem with The Big Bang Theory is that it pretty much consists of five jokes, one per main character. It tries to do the whole thing with extra jokes which are hidden and only nerds will get, but wrecks it with factual mistakes (even as early as the first episode with Sheldon's misuse of the term "Parallax Distortion") and the fact that Futurama's been doing the same thing better, for longer. In general, the writers are attempting to write characters smarter than they themselves are, and the writing suffers for it.

It's weird, because Two and a Half Men is written in pretty much the same style, but it pulls it off because it's SUPPOSED to be extremely low-brow, and as such isn't constantly shooting itself in the foot. Not to mention, an insult in the form of a pun is funnier than an insult in the form of big words and "ooh isn't Sheldon so smart".

Currenty I only watch:

Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead - (but this season has not yet been up to snuff).
 
Ah, come on . . .  When Shane shot Otis in the leg, that was some intense drama!

Okay, you're right - that was totally awesome. That whole episode was really good. Him shooting the guy, you not knowing why he's shaving his head in the beginning. Yeah, that was pretty dark.
I think I just didn't like the season opener. It was an hour and a half of nothing. Plus, they  had inconsistencies with what they told us last season. And some of the monologues people are spouting are really annoying / not well written.

But you're right. The whole Otis thing was really good storyline.
 
500 posts!?  You Freak! lol

Its hard to think of a favorite tv show.  I watch a lot of History/Science/Discovery channel stuff.  Through The Wormhole is pretty sweet.  I like Wilderness Survival shows.  Recently I've been watching Star Trek Voyager on netflix, I'm hesitant to watch all the episodes though because chances are that I'll never watch it again once I've watched everything :(
