> The Big Bang Theory 420,400,000 That is just depressing IMO.. I don't understand the appeal to that show..
It's a warm show about people who care about each other where the drama comes from social misunderstandings. The initial pilot featured a more conniving Penny played by a different actress. The focus group feedback was "Someone keep that mean girl away from those sweet boys". Think of it as a show for moms / grandmothers / aunts of nerdy men.
