I don't know why this thread's even here, The Big Bang Theory is fantastic, and I personally like the laugh track if it fits the show, which it does here. I laugh harder when there's a audience or a laugh track. don't see anyone complaining about Little Britain, Fawlty Towers, Are you being served having laugh tracks, and they're all classic sitcoms made by the Gods of comedy, the British.
To balance this point show's like The Office are made without laugh tracks because of the shows pace, while the shows with laugh tracks have their own pacing.
Being a nerd is typically associated with intellect, as a nerd often enjoys specialising in complicated fields of study. Nerds may also have difficulties socialising with others, as many tend towards being introverted, although it is also said that a nerd cannot be bothered developing social skills while busy with other interests. Nerds often have gained a strong and diverse skill set from their studies and experiences, which may at times be unorthodox or impractical. Nerd interests may cover a broad range of interests, from movies to games (video and table-top), to more practical skills such as computer science.
Very likely to be a rocket scientist, a renowned yet reclusive professor, a scientist, an intellectual, a computer programmer, an engineer, an inventor, etc. <<<<< this would be what's stereotyped in the Big Bang, which i think is awesome, because as a nerd myself it's good to have a show i can relate to. and trust me nothings more harder than being a nerd in a primary school in Australia.
A geek could be viewed as someone with an interest or lifestyle having to do with niche activities, especially fandom and technology. It is not uncommon for a geek to be capable of reciting large amounts of knowledge that is unintuitive, intriguing and (at times) long-winded. The knowledge could be anything from the mundane to 'living encyclopedia' status. Geeks tend to have average grades. Geeks can vary in their interests, from fun (films) and sometimes even frivolous things (collecting plastic figurines), to heavily technological interests (computing, hacking, and programming). Urban Dictionary goes so far as to suggest that society still views computer programming as a "bizarre feat" and the term "geek" is a proud label reflecting this. <<<<<< this is where people confuse the two, as the Big Bang Theory combines to two terms together and apply them to all the characters in TBBT.
and the only reason that any reasonable person can think of is haters going to hate.
