I find it repellent.
The first I remember really noticing it was on SNL, but it has spread far and wide. I probably have only watched a few minutes of The Big Bang, but it didn't seem like a show for nerds, but a show about nerds, a Geek Zoo, where you could go to point and laugh at effete nerds.
Along those lines, anyone know of any shows about and for introverts? Where introverts are the central, sympathetic characters in the show?
Sherlock, perhaps?
Ooo, seconding Sherlock! (the BBC one, of course!)
Damn! Only 6 shows so far! I saw two seasons, and figured I had 20 shows to go through.
Yes, great fun. Very different feel than US shows. Hard to imagine any of them as characters in a US show. Too much ruthlessness for an American audience, I think.
Love Moriarty.
Thanks to both of you.
If Sherlock and Moriarty are so "bored" with the challenges presented by their simian neighbors, why don't they fight Death or engage in some other science project to make themselves useful? If they're such smarty boys, why don't they take on the Universe instead of slightly evolved primates?
Hail Science!
Well, Doctor Who is hardly an introvert, but he's probably the geek to outgeek all geeks, and he's damn powerful too.
Arrested Development. Michael, pretty much the only ethical, responsible character on the show definitely seems to be at the introverted end of the spectrum.
