1. One joke show

Bored after 3 episodes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. They ran out of material after a couple of seasons, but I liked it at first.

I hated Friends and Seinfeld.

5. +1

ftiends, seinfeld, and "how i met your mother."

probably a generational thing. i'm obviously not the target demographic.

3. I won't... I never watched more than a preview for it. I just didn't have the "urge" to watch it...

Then again, there have been a LOT of sitcoms that I never watched. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I'll get bored one day and binge watch the entire series, but so far, no...

4. I like the show, but cannot stand the number of commercials

to which I am subjected during it and pretty much every other program. I haven't watched much of it this year as I simply have given up on the fight to enjoy television without the numerous ads. I will wait until it comes out on Dvd and watch it at my leisure.

If you don't enjoy the show, everyone's tastes are different and you should watch what you want, just like the rest of us.

6. i didnt understand why it was so popular

[JDC]

7. Why would you say that? Just because it is predictable and unfunny?

Who doesn't love lay up jokes and recycled storylines.

That show is what is wrong with network sitcoms.

8. I hated hearing it when a family member was watching.

Just hated Sheldon Cooper's whining and knocking on the neighbor's door. But then I watched it for a few times and it grew on me. There are some excellent comedy bits worthy of American humor.

I wouldn't turn it on for myself, but certain bits make me laugh if I see it. It's just an ensemble sitcom of characters, the way Friends was, and How I Met Your Mother, but with the side of science.

9. I could see hating it but I enjoyed it ... it wasn't BRILLIANT or anything

But it was often good for at least a few laughs, and the characters were amiable (except Sheldon I suppose ... well he is but in an odd way let's say).

I'm def. the target audience though being a computer and science nerd, in the right age demo.

Also, I saw almost all of them in interviews over the years, and everyone on it seemed cool IRL. Guessing everyone is liberal. Jim Parsons is so stunningly different it's a trip. Very cool, very out gay man, and quite humble-seeming. His transformation into the character is really pretty impressive and part of why he won a lot of awards. JP is literally like the anti-Sheldon.

10. I never could get into it.

I find most sitcoms unfunny. The only current ones that I watch are The Good Place and Murphy Brown, and I recently started catching up with Brooklyn 99 on Hulu.

[Rebl2]

11. Yep. Never liked

The Office, How I met your mother, liked Modern family for a while, but it should have been over years ago, and anything with Tim Allen in it.

[GeorgeGist]

12. Being a real-life scientist, my kids thought I'd love it.

They were completely wrong.

[shenmue]

13. Never into 'Friends'

[Phentex]

14. It's not for everyone...

I think I've seen a dozen episodes or so. Sometimes I think it's funny. Other times I cringe. It must have been on originally at a time when I watched something else because I don't really remember much about how it started.

It's just the way tv works.

[Kind of Blue]

15. Never sparked my interest at all

but watched this little analysis when I saw the strange title.

[a kennedy]

16. Nope never thought it was that funny,

didn't like friends either, but I still love and enjoy Seinfeld......know almost all the episodes by heart. Despise Tim Allen shows as well.......
