I can't believe I never watched this before.
We didn't start watching it until right before S4 started; some friends showed us part of an episode from S3, and it was enough to get us hooked. And we had the same reaction -- why hadn't we watched it before? It has a few weak points (racial "jokes" are never funny, even when you have another character call them out as racist, for example), but it seriously just makes my geeky heart happy.
I love Big Bang Theory. It really just keeps getting better and better.
I know I am the show's target audience, but I can't get into it. I've seen two or three episodes, and it just seems to be trying too hard. A few chuckles, but that's it.
I am pleased that the show has cut way back on the constant fat-girl "jokes" from Howard.
And as much as I like the guys, I have to say, Sheldon's mom, Leonard's mom, and Amy Farrah Fowler were *perfectly* cast. Mayim Bialik is the best damn thing to happen to that show in a long time.
Sheldon makes me so happy. And Christine Baraski as Leonard's mother is frigging genius.

SRSLY. I love her in everything I've seen her in (especially Cybill), but she rocks my socks as Leonard's mom.

I didn't really start liking it until I saw the episodes with Amy Farrah Fowler.
Hil, I am all the time saying "he's not wrong" to the laugh track re: Sheldon.
I've also starting watching reruns of
30 Rock.
I'm not addicted, but there's definitely some funny stuff in there. My long sitcom-less stretch seems to be over, even if I'm three years behind.
I am making polenta, and I forgot the part about gradually whisking the cornmeal in. Oops. I will pretend the lumps are little corn kernels, I guess. Seems to taste good, anyway.
