What makes you irritated with BBT?
I have to admit at first I thought it would be cool to see Sheldon and Abed together, but that would be a bad idea. Sheldon would make put Abed down. However, I still think it would be cool to see Howard, Raj, and Leonard interact with Abed and Troy.
Michael Patrick King Has a Meltdown at 2 Broke Girls’ Panel:
The questioning again shifted to the ethnic stereotypes on the show, and eventually, King exploded. "I'm gay!" he said, adding that he found "it comedic to take everyone down."
Meg and I started watching Community. It's awesome. You all get a toaster.
And one from me. I just caught up on two seasons in a couple of weeks. Can't believe I've never watched it before. Season two's particularly good. Claymation at Christmas. Hah.
Occasionally it does freak me out by being the college where I teach, though.

That they're in their 4th season and it's the same old schticks for everyone -- Leonard gets exasperated with one of the guys, usually Sheldon, and does that reaction of outrage/shock/whatever, which is expressed by a blank look and usually rolling his eyes to the ceiling.
Sheldon, though I love him, is still an annoying dick to people 99% of the time. Plus, his newly codified relationship with Amy is the Titanic waiting to hit the iceberg of asexuality.
Raj -- still can't talk to women.
Howard -- still lives with his mother despite being engaged, what the fuck, man?
The "joke" about Howard's mother always bellowing crude things from offscreen got old after the second or third episode of S1.
I still love Stuart the comic book guy, and I generally love Leonard's mom and Sheldon's mom (except the last episode that she was in was way too over the line with the racist shit). And I have unreasonable love for Penny's ex, Zack.
And I really loved Amy until about halfway through this season, when she just got really, really annoying with her neediness (not towards Sheldon, but towards Penny and Bernadette).
Good god, I no longer want to watch 2 Broke Girls. That guy was a royal douchenozzle.
Congrats, Michael Patrick. Good job.
I'm not gonna click on that Michael Patrick King article for the sake of my blood pressure.
I've watched several eps of the show, because Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs have great chemistry and are so much better than the material. I want to keep watching because there aren't that many shows out there that showcase a strong female friendship, but everything outside their friendship is so freaking annoying. God.
Seriously, Vonnie, don't. He's an amazing douche.
I do like the frank bad language of the show. I'm totally okay with talking about vaginas and tampons, and if you have to dress up a facial to get it past the
CBS
standards & practices, go for it!
But, seriously, the comedy is lacking, and the Latino, Asian, and Italian (just to list the first three that occur to me) characterisations are *horrible*. Jesus Christ on a crutch. A stupid, ineffective, comedy crutch.
FYI for anyone who's in the market for Community DVDs, Deep Discount is having a TV on DVD BOGO sale. I ordered Season 1 (for $28 and change) and got a second DVD free.

hopefully they'll go on sale again, I'm going have to wait and recover from Xmas, car repairs, and vet bills.

Speaking as a Korean, the way Han is written and portrayed makes me want to punch everyone associated with the show on the face. I know not everyone can be Kimball Cho (insert dreamy sigh) but God, it's just so fucking offensive.
