| pavlov wrote:
| _> "jokes about him being a 'nerd' in the ways mainstream

|
| "Big Bang Theory" was initially written that way, but the
| original pilot episode was a famous flop. Test audiences
| hated the characters. (The unaired pilot can be found with
| a Google search.)
|
| Even though the pilot failed, the studio liked the concept
| enough that the showrunners were given the rare opportunity
| to reshoot the pilot with a new script. They introduced the
| character of Penny and balanced the scenes carefully around
| emotional connection, to make it clear to audiences when
| the characters are connecting or failing to connect. And
| that's probably closer to why millions of people love the
| show -- it's not the tech jokes or laughing at nerds but
| the empathy.

| pavlov wrote:
| Likewise, "IT Crowd" is great.
|
| But the point about BBT is that it isn't really a show
| about nerds or physics; it's about emotional
| intelligence. This was a fairly groundbreaking angle for
| a Hollywood sitcom at the time when comparable mainstream
| shows were built on rather mean-spirited writing and
| stunted character development, like "How I Met Your
| Mother" and "Two and a Half Men."
| lupire wrote:
| Are you ignoring the whole era of ABC TGIF and family

|
| Seinfeld was invented as an antithesis to that whole
