The Existential Angst of Stuart Bloom

[wellplayedpenny]

Well put.

Taunting appeals to the lowest common denominator and the showrunners seem to think this is a recipe for continued success but it will eventually be the shows downfall. They are underestimating the audience too much. Give people great characters without making caricatures of them and they will be much more deeply appreciated in the long run.

Not that I'm saying TBBT was the absolutely best television I'd ever seen but there was enough to the early seasons that if they ended it at season four I would have been satisfied. ... I never knew if it was BBC budget constraints or prudence that a lot of the shows that made it to Canada were limited runs but I really wish the Americans would look at the idea of limited series runs as a viable alternative. Of course all they seem to be interested in is money and viewership so my hope is in vain....
