The IT Crowd is a show about a group of fools getting into ridiculous situations at work. It’s a good laugh and has some classic moments.
My partner doesn’t make or get tv/movie references, but even she can drop references from it into casual conversation.
Big Bang Theory is a bland comedy that wants to be much more than it is - relationship drama, social exploratory, situational comedy. But it tends to fail 90% of the time, and the closer it gets to ‘relationship drama’ the more grating it gets.
Something I realized while reading this is that I can’t think of any quotes from it. Besides “Bazinga”, but that was designed to be intentionally annoying and then was used to mock the show.
I can think of references to basically every other sitcom I’ve seen, and I can vaguely remember some scenes from BBT, but nothing quotable. My spouse liked it, so I’ve seen every episode at least once, but it was honestly pretty forgettable.
My verdict was originally “not bad”. But maybe being forgettable was it’s best quality.
