Big Bang Theory is a good show. I'm not going to deny that, I am always amused by it. But that's usually where it ends. I don't want to shed a bad light on it, but the fact is I rarely find myself actually laughing out loud or even silently along with the crowd. It's because I'm amused by it that I watch the show. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I guess it is what it is. Big Bang Theory doesn't stand alone; I've found myself multiple other times watching shows that I never really react to, but rather just sit contently and view. It's really strange because you would think if you truly enjoyed watching a comedy or sit com that you would in fact laugh at the suggested jokes or with the laugh track audience. Maybe I'm just settling for sub par entertainment, but I've noticed more people than just myself doing this. On a more broad spectrum, take for example the commonly used texting acronym LOL, or laugh out loud. Now, this is far more severe than my personal experience because it is a direct contradiction because when people, myself included, use "LOL" in their texts, I would almost guarantee that more than 9 out of 10 times the user does not actually laugh out loud. A more accurate, but far more complicated, acronym would be IWSEBTLT, or I was slightly entertained by that last text. Of course it will never catch on because it's over four characters and that itself is a crime in the digital world of texting, but still my point holds true. It seems that we all are faking our own enjoyment anymore, and for what? Why don't we just leave out the unnecessary LOLs or stop watching averages T.V. shows? Well, I'm going to leave it to you to come to a conclusion about this small dilema because, as I have mentioned in previous posts on weeks prior, it is a Sunday night and I am tired. Also, ironically enough, I paused an episode of Big Bang Theory that needs attending to.
