      The best concise description of that show I’ve heard was “it’s what people who aren’t nerds think nerds would like”.

        To be fair, the scene where Penny gifts Sheldon something like the glass Leonard Nimoy drank out of, for Christmas, had me crying with laughter. That’s about it, though.

        Edit: The napkin he used, and then signed with a note.

        I remember watching the pilot for the show, I was like, “oh this could be refreshing away from the stupidity of the rest of tv!”. I was already onto anime by that point and had entirely stopped watching cable.

        But no. Apparently, when the actual show started airing, it was EXACTLY as you describe, and a massive disappointment. Xbox and bad quips and trying to get girls? Absolutely not.
