The Big Bang Theory after seasons the first two seasons. Initially, it was great, but like all geek-nerd (and for most of my life I've been put in one of those two groups. Well, kind of.) shows, it just runs out of material, because there's only so many jokes that can be made, quite honestly. I haven't watched it in a while because it's not funny anymore, and it's become more of a relationship based show, which was never its premise. The character development is pathetic, as well. Take Sheldon, for example. In the first couple of seasons, his quirks and strange idiosyncrasies were hilarious, but now they're just forced and not funny, especially with his laugh. It's like they're trying to hard, and, getting back to Sheldon again, everything he does seems terribly contrived. It worked for the first few seasons, but it's just terrible now, imo.
I completely agree. I'll stretch it to three seasons, then it fell off a cliff for me.
The first few seasons they did a great job establishing Sheldon as this super smart guy that is terribly unsocialized and doesnt know how to interact with anyone, and the comedy they made with it was great. Now it's just so forced, they go to the well so much for jokes that he just comes off as an idiot instead of this anti social genius.
Then yes of course, now theyre all in relationships and 95% of the jokes are based on said relationships. It's a show you watch with your girlfriend now, instead of a cool show that cracks jokes about geeky stereotypes.
Come to think of it, the show really reminds me of 'Friends' that show was hilarious until all of them started sleeping together, then it turned into a soap opera with some corny jokes forced in.
