3. The Big Bang Theory
The most traditional of these three shows. Take two nerds living together, their two nerd friends, and the hot girl next door to add some spice into their nerd lives and there you go. The humor is really on point though. They reference technology and other nerd things in their jokes that I'm sure only other nerds understand. They still manage to keep some jokes mainstream enough to attract a wider audience. Sheldon steals the show though. He is the absolute king of all nerds. He fails to grasp normal social etiquette which results in a lot of the shows humor. Leonard, Sheldon's roommate is the level headed one who finally manages to get his dream girl across the hall, Penny. Throw in an Indian scientist and a horny Jew and you've got some very witty dialogue. Catch this on CBS Mondays at 9:30 I think.
2. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Three guys and a girl own a bar in south Philly. This show reminds me a lot of Seinfeld due to the character's questionable morals. They are all pretty selfish. They will do just about anything to make money or get laid and the great thing about it is it seems like they are hardly friends. They are constantly competing with one another and stabbing each other in the back. Throw in Danny Devito as the world's worst father and it makes for some funny situations. Nothing is off limits with this show. This show is on FX and while it's currently in between seasons, I believe it's usual time slot was Thursday nights at 10.
1. The Office
How can you not love The Office? The humor is as witty as you can get. I could quote this show for days. It just has so many great characters. The dimwitted boss, the "fascist nerd" salesman, the cute receptionist (or the new cute receptionist). I could go on, but why bother. Just check it out. Reruns are on TBS everyday and new episodes are on NBC Thursdays at 9 I think. Oh and FYI, I've already committed to being Dwight Scrute next Halloween. I'm sure my mustard colored shirt will be well liked.
