    the good thing about sitcoms is that they are comforting. if you start liking the characters then you get to enjoy their lives vicariously.

    my point isn’t about sitcoms, but that Kaley Cuoco is incredibly funny (Harley is so funny and nerdy). yet all she did was being the “normie blonde”. If she was given more freedom The Big Bang theory might have been actually funny.

      I remember early in the run of BBT, when I had already decided the show was not for me (not helped by people comparing me to Sheldon – yay, neurodivergence), I saw Jim Parsons on the Craig Ferguson show. He picked up Craig’s TARDIS from his desk and giggled, saying “This is so cute! What is it?”

      I think Kaley Cuoco would have recognized the fucking TARDIS.

        Honestly, given my age at the time, she was probably my main reason for watching the show at the time. My second being the science and third the jokes.

      Yeah, she is way better than that show let her be. I’m not even a huge fan of hers, but she’s definitely got great comedy chops.

        Yeah? What else has she shown those quality comedy chops since then? Her Harley Quinn show exists, or did, I don’t know if it’s still a thing. But nothing else she’s done has lasted more than 2 seasons.
