    Thirty-six percent don't believe that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

    It's a pretty uneven show, I can't blame them.

    Yeah, the Sheldon and Blossom thing is hard to watch. :D

    It isn't as foul-mouthed as most other Chuck Lorre shows, at least.

    How is 2 1/2 Men still on? How many Americans want that?

    How certain is the big bang of the universe anyway? I guess it's accepted now that more evidence has been observed, but the 51 percent figure doesn't seem that alarming to me. When I was in school, it was truly presented as "just a theory," and not in a passive-aggressive way, either. And the scientific knowledge of most Americans is probably frozen somewhere around 10th grade.

    Enough that Ashton Kutcher gets $700k an episode and Jon Cryer gets $600K. :D

    The last one I saw ended with Candy and Lyndsey in bed together. That was a good way to go out.

    With Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Courtney Thorne-Smith now as regulars, the show is even ripping off According to Jim.

    I liked it when the Rosanne romance was rekindled between Johnny Galecki and Sara Gilbert.

    Sometimes I wish if they would decide if Melissa Rauch is trending more toward the intelligence of the other nerds or is ditsy like Penny. (She is a solid 6, though)

    I've never watched one episode. It is irritating when I hear that guy say bazinga in commercials. Worst tag line ever.

    I don't need that show. I come to SJ whenever I want to see socially awkward nerds be bad at life.
