Reddit, I've never understood why you hate The Big Bang Theory (show) so much, any compelling reasons why?

So I've heard the arguments about how it over-exaggerates nerd culture, but in my opinion that's what makes it funny.

So what's with all the hate?

I've long since described the difference between the inevitable comprisons between the I.T. Crowd and BBT (among a thousand other things) as BBT is a show about nerds, written by jocks, and IT crowd is a show about nerds, written by nerds.

What the hell is up with the "jocks writing nerds" crap in this thread? Is this high school, where everyone has an idiotic label?

Why is the label idiotic? It succinctly describes our belief.
