Me neither but I'll admit to never being a fan of sitcoms. In my 46 years, I think I've only liked maybe 8 sitcoms.

I'm not afraid of this thing having any sort of pop culture relevance. The one that's got me spooked is Big Bang Theory because everyone talks about that thing. I just sat through 1:43 seconds of TBBT on YouTube yesterday out of morbid curiosity and it was the least funny thing I've ever watched. Plus, I had such a visceral reaction to the main character (Sheldon?) that it ruined my evening. But that show is a ratings-grabber just like Friends was. It draws people in the way Friends and Seinfeld (another horrible show) did back in the 90s. :/

I watched a scene from that once and it was like watching an 8-year-old boy declaring that girls had cooties and to stay out of his treehouse. I think I'm out of touch with the zeitgeist.

I refused to watch TBBT for a few seasons because I tried to watch the pilot and could not get through it.

Eventually, I was exposed to it somehow (probably someone had a rerun on the TV while I was at their house), and seasons 2 - ~5 were hilarious but it got super boring after a while. The female characters especially got worse and worse as time went on.

I would definitely be more concerned about TBBT becoming the next Friends pop culture phenomenon than HIMYM.

Yeah, agreed...mostly...I'd say it got annoying, not boring, but aside from that, agreed. And, yeah, especially the ladies...Leonard's relationship with Priya (and derailing her to recover Leonard/Penny) was the turning point, IMO.

(OTOH, I've caught a couple more recent episodes, and it seems to have improved again...not so much as to make me want to watch regularly, but enough that if it's from season 9 onwards, I probably won't turn it off if I don't specifically want to watch something else...)

I've never seen a full episode of any of those shows and I'm OK with that. I'm sure I'm missing some references and not getting some jokes but oh well.

I used to like sitcoms, and there are some I still like, like the new One Day at a Time, but maybe I'm just too old for the current crop of sitcoms.

it's actually a terrible show overall with terrible characters but once in a while there's a good one-liner or two that makes me smile (full disclosure: I hate it but my housemate watches it out of habit, so I've probably seen most of it).

I know too many people like Sheldon irl and watching him get a pass on his shitty behavior is rage-inducing. later seasons try to "fix" him with girlfriend and sex and apparently now marriage so idefk anymore.

fortunately, there's not a lot about it that's long-term memorable, so it won't have any pop culture relevance at all. if anything its own attempts at constantly referencing geek culture are tryhard and you can't reference a reference, so don't worry anon. the zeigtgeist will be safe. it's turned into a carbon copy het-pairoff sitcom where everyone is marriage and babies, there is nothing about it that will live on the way Seinfeld or Ellen or other 90s shows did.
