This show will not be a perennial favorite. They've trashed their legacy. Give it 15 years, and nobody will have heard of these people. Lots of things were hugely popular in their time and then flare out quickly. That's the nature of a fad. It won't be an enduring classic; there won't be BBT marathons on New Year's Eve and stuff like that.
Those millions of viewers are fickle. True nostalgics will cherish the first few seasons, but this won't be the type of show that people love to introduce to their kids and grandkids. That would be like giving someone a piece of chocolate with a chaser of dog poop. If Parsons wasn't so highly paid, I'd say that his future is signing autographs at every Comic Con from San Diego to Katmandu.
I would love it if the first 2 seasons were eventually packaged, sold, and marketed separately from the rest of it, which is an idea Gripe alluded to...
