[Are girls ruining The Big Bang Theory? Or do the boys need to man up? ;) What do you think? --Morgan]

We’ve never found much amusing in THE BIG BANG THEORY, the nerd comedy for our times, but we are distinctly in the minority on this, as it’s one of the signature sitcoms of the day (and the #1 show in Canada!) However, in recent years its girl-fearing cast of hardcore geeks has been joined by all kinds of women — not just the hot chick across the hall but smart women like Blossom and…now, actual girlfriends.

John Doyle at the Globe and Mail sees this as clear shark jumping territory:

It ain’t the same. Now it appears that all the nerdy male characters have girlfriends and there are abundant jokes about dating, sex and jealousy. Stupid stuff. Heavens to Betsy, there are even feelings being tossed around. It’s like watching Friends!

I was pushed by my kids to watch the show, so I gave it a chance. And from the first my husband and I watched we loved it. It is entertaining and funny! Now with the additions of the girls, it has gotten that much more interesting AND even funnier!

I do not believe that girls are ruining the show. I've said my piece. LOL!
