Wuhaa
I cut myself on this edgy stuff.

Futurama is the sweet spot.
Cheomesh
NOVA isn't usually about smart -people- though. It's about various subjects.

Then sometimes you're smart and sometimes you're dumb but when you're dumb you like to watch shows with smart people.

Because its garbage and not funny?

everybody fuck off with your cheap condescension

So what if you like them all, ba the Kardashians, obviously

God I hate Big Bang Theory

Just watched the last couple of episodes for season 10. Damn those feelings. Damn them straight to hell.

Love Futurama! Wish Leela & Fry would make it and live happily ever after :-)

Futurama is over hyped, and a reused Simpsons mash.
xcopperx
Im literally watching futurama right now
PoseidonsSister
Who is the smart person in futurama? My bet is Leela. (Professor and Nimbler are a close second)

I'm always relevant

I can't find anything to disagree with on this

There wouldn't be any overlap of those circles ..

NOVA must be a secret TV show only smart people can find. I am dumb.

Here's an idea for ya. Don't give a fuck what other people enjoy. Do I come to your house and shit in your cereal? No I don't.

It's about the target demographic of those shows, I suppose. It doesn't imply that you must be stupid or smart if you watch a certain show.

The Big Bang theory....THANK GOD someone finally said it
JPre35
finally?! you mean every 10 posts

People say it all the time, you can usually find them in the bad comments section

What? Hating Big Bang Theory is one of the more popular circlejerks on imgur.
tablecat
Except nearly everyone on Imgur hates it. It's nothing new.
flippywizgig
I like TBBT. I also like Futurama and Star Trek. Maybe you shouldn't judge people by what they watch on television.
zflazeda
And who's the meme itself for? Dumb people who think they're smart for reposting this meme?
mandingocommunitymangoes
Let's go deeper.
TacticalWookiee
Not a meme. Just a chart
Wander1236
Why does everyone hate The Big Bang Theory?
Lupine1982
I think just because it got popular to hate here. I like it but don't love it.
MrTummy
Because its garbage and not funny?
JoonasD6
Hate the laughing track. But I have to say it is extremely relatable at times, and all science/maths/pop references are actually correct.
mudkipfucker2
because memes
Vesarret
My ex loved the show and tried to get me to watch it so much. I was either bored or hated every second of it... it wasn't funny,
Carbonbasedlife
Answer: it is the nerd version of blackface. Nerds watch it and get the references, but average Joe watches it to laugh at nerds.
illegalacorn
because it makes fun of nerds
AnnUncommon
I wish more people understood this!
Carbonbasedlife
No clue why you're getting downvoted for this. Truth.
RAGESTARVED
Personally, I *dislike* it because the jokes are forced and don't appeal to me personally. Normally I'd just not watch it and that's it, (1)
RAGESTARVED
it earns my hate by calling itself as a smart show for nerds, when it really just uses caricatures to point and laugh at the socially inept.
RAGESTARVED
^ pointing out my own tired redundancy before someone else gets to it
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
*cue a bunch of people saying it's just popular to hate*. The reason it gets hate is poor scripting, overuse of laugh track, fake nerd shite
MelfsAcidArrow
Please provide examples of fake nerd shite
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
Cliche. Every ep is riddled with them, and the 'science' is never there. It is a setting that is never valued. Average sitcom writing 2/2
MelfsAcidArrow
They are in 4 different fields and one is theoretical - do you want him to just retread old theories or make up BS new theories?
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
The VAST majority of comedy isn't on science it's pop culture, but poorly jammed in. "Can we add a star trek pun here" they ask themselves
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
Ironically nerdy question. Sheldon: archetype OCD nerd, over analyses, token Indian computer guy, nervous around all women. Cliche after 1/2
MelfsAcidArrow
Growing up in Silicon Valley - token Indian Guy is everywhere. Also the speech thing went away. What else you got?
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
Saying something doesn't make it true, man. Sheldon mr.autism, super cliche and no value to the scripting. And if they are everywhere 1/2
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
Then why token? Why use him super cheaply. He's the foreign flavour. It is average sitcom with the theme being science by the illiterate
MelfsAcidArrow
In the end you're free to like/dislike whatever you want. It just seems all the criticisms are from first season (or internet bandwagoning)
WhereOnceThereWasAYachtNowThereIsNot
"Someone doesn't see something my way, thus it must be bandwagoning, because no one who watches it like ME could think that"! Eesh
godverdomme
It went from laughing with nerds to laughing at nerds.
yohanosullivan
I don't know *queue laugh soundtrack*
ThanatosElNyx
*cue
flippywizgig
Lots of good comedies have had them. I don't care for them, but I can still enjoy the show.
TheTechAdmin
It's NOT a soundtrack!!! It's a REAL audience. They actually do the opposite and CUT the laughter for the next joke.
ThePastySmasher23

Those circles do not overlap in the centre...

It does if you use your imagination

Thats why Futurama is there to fill the void!!!!

I'm not gonna lie to you imgurans.. i have never been watching Futurama. Is it good? And should I watch it...?
Thoraxe123
yes its on netflix too
tablecat
I finished it for the first time a few days ago. It's nothing less than amazing. Please watch it.
CheekyHorseBoy
I will when my 14 hour shift ends!
SlickLily
Personally I could never get into it but it's ok
ImGunnaGoGetMeSomeButterflyPoon
It's fantastic. I just finished watching my 5th go at the entire series.
demonic
You aren't a true imgurian till you watch it, skip the dog episode tho.
kudichan
I'M WALKING ON SUNSHINE~ ;_;
sisjsj
An amazingly smart show
TheAngryEngineer
Oh God yes. Only cartoon to bring manly tears to my manly eyes. Poor Seymour...
RottenState
It does for Sci-fi what Simpsons does for sitcoms.
catheterpolice
futurama is so fucking dumb
frjackhackett
it's that rare kind of thing that has universal appeal and is well done, the characters are relatable and realistic, the science jokes won't
frjackhackett
go over most people's heads, there are loads of hidden things to look out for on repeat views, a lot of the plots are original
frjackhackett
you'll love it.. start with the episode 'roswell that ends well' from season 4
frjackhackett
there's an episode in that season, 'jurassic bark', that you'll want to delay looking at for as long as you can
enteryourdetailshere
I'm jealous that you get to watch it for the first time ever.. I must have re-watched it at least 3 times.
ijustbluthmyself
In my opinion, and I'll probably get downvoted into oblivion, but I think it's better than the simpsons.
RoyFuckingMustang
LIterally everyone agrees with you, even matt groening
CptRedBeerd
Just because I don't like making you wrong, I downvoted you. Good day sir. -1
ijustbluthmyself
I upvoted you because I'm not a dick and respect your opinion. Uh g'day sir.
TinySupreme
No doubt it's better than the Simpsons.
moinonplus
I could list a hundred reasons why Futurama is so much better as entertainment. Simpsons is a cultural milestone, sure, but overall less fun
R0XTON
Fry's dog invokes more emotion than any Simpsons ep
Poisonpellet
After my dog died i havent been able to watch that episode.
DrZangariSlifkin
Absolutely! 100% better
Fawan
I'd say it's 40% better
DrZangariSlifkin
I'm really hoping you mean this as a reference, not being serious. Either way, nice reference!
redhatbluehatonehattwohat
You mean it's 40% Dolomite.
DrZangariSlifkin
Also - 40% Zinc, 40% Titanium, 40% Lead, 40% chromium, 40% horseshoes, 40% Wire, and 40% scrap metal.
Jmoc12
Instead of Nova, I would put Star Trek if we are keeping in the realm of fiction.
Geo80
Depends which series your talking about.
TAKEITEASYIMJUSTKIDDING
Youre awesome
Sandpaper26
The West Wing is also a good fit there.
Mcknizzle
Oh yes. Yes it would
Mcknizzle
Very unique show!
lawlphailure
Star Trek is pretty universally awesome, sir. I'm not really even that big of a fan, but if it's on, I'll watch and enjoy it.
Lupine1982
I'd go with newsroom or house of cards. Shows like those.
16745
State of play, also.
Lupine1982
ooo, ill watch yours if you watch mine :)
16745
I watched house of cards, plus state of play is a rather short series. Maybe that counts already? But yep, I'll give newsroom a try.
Lupine1982
THE RACE IS ON, report back here when finished...of course you have a 3 day lead :/
harthram
Fiction was not a criteria for this graphic
aceoaces
Star Trek has terrible writing. None of it adds up. It's not for smart people at all.
QuatroDoesGood
although in TNG the episodes can be a bit standalone that isn't a bad thing They go in depth into alluding to social issues in today's world
Jmoc12
I disagree, have you watched DS9?
HandsomeMonica
I disagree with you sir
addi09
Isnt nova a nature science type show arent those meant to educate dumb people
RiptideTV
The only shows I regularly watch besides super unrealistic crime shows (all 3 NCIS shows) are modern marvels and how it's made
