Or is it because BBT is now and Friends was then? IYKWIM.

I loved the episode where Penny was sleeping on the sofa, everyone went to bed and Raj was standing eating a sandwich in the dark. His face was a picture.

I love Raj Blush

And Howard and his robot arm......

I would put BBT, Friends and Two and a half Men all together as examples of really sublime comedy.

Brilliant writing and great performances.

We have some great comedy shows here but they're never consistently good - they always tend to start well and lose their way - something the US shows never do.

YANBU but I never liked friends, it was too sickly sweet for me.

realhousewifeofdevoncounty · 09/04/2012 22:23

God I love raj too. Combines my fetishes for geeky and dark and handsome men! Grin

Did you Know that Amy farrah fowler is blossom? Does anyone remember that show from the 80s?

CaveMum · 09/04/2012 23:02

I loved Blossom, it was a fabulous show along with My So Called Life Grin

mrstiredandconfused · 10/04/2012 00:27

Yanbu! Friends was very funny at the time but I don't think it has aged well. TBBT otoh is very clever on so many levels (i'm also one of life's "underdogs" as opposed to a "beautiful person", and Leonard is so sweet!)

winkle2 · 10/04/2012 00:56

We love BBT in our house!

And my hubby is a real life neuroscientist like Amy :)

topshelfrita · 10/04/2012 01:06

Yeah Lumpy I have a soft spot for Lesley Winkel. And the 'moms' (sorry) Sheldon's and Leonard's -- are great. Hey, that's two actresses who used to be on Roseanne many moons ago - Sheldon's Ma was also Roseanne's sister Jackie while Lesley was Darlene, her daugher, AFAICR.

IloveJudgeJudy · 10/04/2012 01:43

Also, Johnny Galecki (Leonard) married Lesley Winkel, Roseanne's daughter Darlene, in Roseanne. He was her boyfriend David in Roseanne.

Kibokothepurplehippo · 10/04/2012 01:50

I LOVE BBT! It's my favourite programme by a mile. In fact, I very rarely watch TV except for Bing Bang. I agree with LumpyLatimer about the female characters too. Way better than Friends, and I was a Friends fan too (still am to a degree, but it's BBT all the way for me).

topshelfrita · 10/04/2012 02:03

Oh yes Ilove, I'd forgotten that -- he looked quite different as David.

Sparklingbrook · 10/04/2012 08:00

I think there's a connection producer /director wise or something with Roseanne.
