I cut myself on this edgy stuff.

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

NOVA isn't usually about smart -people- though. It's about various subjects.
fusk
NOVA must be a secret TV show only smart people can find. I am dumb.

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

Futurama was not about smart people. It's a plot point in many episodes that the main character is unparalleled in stupidity.

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.

Who is the smart person in futurama? My bet is Leela. (Professor and Nimbler are a close second)

Instead of Nova, I would put Star Trek if we are keeping in the realm of fiction.

Depends which series your talking about.

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.

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
HandsomeMonica
I disagree with you sir
I disagree, have you watched DS9?
Sandpaper26
The West Wing is also a good fit there.
Mcknizzle
Oh yes. Yes it would
Very unique show!
Lupine1982
I'd go with newsroom or house of cards. Shows like those.

State of play, also.
ooo, ill watch yours if you watch mine :)
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.
THE RACE IS ON, report back here when finished...of course you have a 3 day lead :/

What? Hating Big Bang Theory is one of the more popular circlejerks on imgur.
Wander1236
Why does everyone hate The Big Bang Theory?
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.
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.
godverdomme
It went from laughing with nerds to laughing at nerds.
I think just because it got popular to hate here. I like it but don't love it.
mudkipfucker2

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,
illegalacorn
because it makes fun of nerds
AnnUncommon
I wish more people understood this!
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)
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.
^ pointing out my own tired redundancy before someone else gets to it

Lots of good comedies have had them. I don't care for them, but I can still enjoy the show.

*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
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
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?
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
Ironically nerdy question. Sheldon: archetype OCD nerd, over analyses, token Indian computer guy, nervous around all women. Cliche after 1/2
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)
"Someone doesn't see something my way, thus it must be bandwagoning, because no one who watches it like ME could think that"! Eesh
Growing up in Silicon Valley - token Indian Guy is everywhere. Also the speech thing went away. What else you got?
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
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

You aren't a true imgurian till you watch it, skip the dog episode tho.

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
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
you'll love it.. start with the episode 'roswell that ends well' from season 4
there's an episode in that season, 'jurassic bark', that you'll want to delay looking at for as long as you can

I'm jealous that you get to watch it for the first time ever.. I must have re-watched it at least 3 times.

An amazingly smart show
RottenState
It does for Sci-fi what Simpsons does for sitcoms.
I finished it for the first time a few days ago. It's nothing less than amazing. Please watch it.
I will when my 14 hour shift ends!
In my opinion, and I'll probably get downvoted into oblivion, but I think it's better than the simpsons.
TinySupreme
No doubt it's better than the Simpsons.

I could list a hundred reasons why Futurama is so much better as entertainment. Simpsons is a cultural milestone, sure, but overall less fun
