Also glad to hear your praise of Kaley Cuoco who is quite good as the ostensible straight woman in the show (though she's a great little comedienne, too), and she more than holds her own against the very funny male quartet. TBBT is a series that could have been a one-joke burn-out but has managed to continue its superb comic tone for two seasons now. We've written about it many times on our TV blog The Flaming Nose http://flamingnose.blogspot.com/ and continue to sing its praises. <br />BTW, your blog is wonderful! I just discovered it and I'm hooked!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345830456539347899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-65566396794000883352009-08-12T18:05:45.065-04:002009-08-12T18:05:45.065-04:00As a huge fan of the show since episode one (Jim P...As a huge fan of the show since episode one (Jim Parsons especially), I can't believe I never thought of the comparison with BALL OF FIRE.TALKING MOVIEzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621046844665110326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-38064160592655203532009-08-12T18:02:05.414-04:002009-08-12T18:02:05.414-04:00If it's an hour it's a drama, if it's ...If it's an hour it's a drama, if it's a half hour it's a comedy, despite the idiocy of the Emmys for putting Desperate Housewives in the comedy category.John Kaisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-13465489678117663812009-08-12T17:58:02.496-04:002009-08-12T17:58:02.496-04:00I’ve spent a good part of the past decade trying t...I’ve spent a good part of the past decade trying to figure out the exact appeal of nerds on screen.

A brilliant social and political critique is at work here. P.S.

I'd reserve that term for stuff like Cheers, Dick Van Dyke, All in the Family, etc. <br /><br />There have been plenty of one-hour, one-camera comedies (such as Ally McBeal and Desperate Housewives) that I wouldn't call sitcoms, even though they compete with sitcoms in the Emmys' Best Comedy Series category. Maybe it's just a semantic thing.<br /><br />It's also possible that F&G was initially sold more as a sitcom, as you say. I don't recall specific ads, but they may well have made the show look more like a sitcom than the funny, dramatic, poignant hybrid that it actually was.jbryantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-7252306351841260442009-08-12T13:05:34.397-04:002009-08-12T13:05:34.397-04:00Jay- "Freaks & Geeks" may not have b...Jay- "Freaks & Geeks" may not have been a sitcom in its heart, but I recall it being sold - and accepted - as such.

I still can't really see it (and F&G wasn't a sitcom, by the way). But if it's even half as good as F&G (or Ball of Fire), I guess I should be watching.jbryantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-66632618632314788162009-08-11T17:15:30.671-04:002009-08-11T17:15:30.671-04:00Does anybody else think that Penny and Sheldon sho...Does anybody else think that Penny and Sheldon should be the ones to end up together.
