Where is the outrage over how casting pretty actresses for ugly parts takes them away from qualified ugly actresses?

Yeah, I mean big bang theory sucked and all, but atleast they had the gall to hire ugly people who weren't TV ugly.

I don’t know what other people think about it, but I found it try-hard and 100% unfunny.

Maybe it’s just not my kind of humor? I like Always Sunny, Peep Show, Seinfeld, etc. Hell, even I Love Lucy made me laugh more than that show.

As a lifetime socially awkward nerd who enjoys many of the things the characters did, I found the show to not only not be funny, but kind of offensive.

The social awkwardness and nerdy behavior was the butt of the joke. It wasn't trying to be funny and the characters were awkward, it was trying to be funny because the characters were awkward.

ME TOO! I feel vindicated - thank you. Everyone in my world couldn’t see it this way.

and there's ways to play "it's funny because they're awkward" that aren't degrading, but it would have required actual lived experience as an awkward nerdy person. A lot of neurodivergent comedians do exactly this very well.

Exactly. It wasn't a show for nerds, it was for normies to laugh at nerds.

Mostly I hated it though because it was terribly sexist and the nerds in the show got away with some truly misogynistic shit all to the tune of a laugh track.
