The main thing I don't like about BBT is that it's generally not funny. Look how the show holds without its laugh track: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗It doesn’t work. The pauses are built into the script. It’s worse, it’s far worse. It highlights that the scripts are usually pretty bad. Classic example of a completely unfunny basic show [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗But American comedy movies are shit nowadays, it's just a bunch of comedians and Will Ferrell doing one-liners. Might as well add pause for laughter like the Big Bang Theory. [VIDEO] As for drama, I'd like to watch Sentimental Value, but I imagine my eyes will be wet in many scenes, I'd rather do that at home than in a theater.
