And that's exactly the reason I never liked the show, it's the same old, shitty stereotypes. This show masks its mocking of geeks and nerds by making them main characters and adding more detail to their interests.
Other than that, it's the same misogyny and lazy jokes that rely on the laughtrack to work at all that you can find in 'Two and a half men'. Yeah, Tigerblood Charlie Sheen was right, Chuck Lorre is a hack.

Sort of....this was adapted from a short story by Roald Dahl. The version I first saw was a remake in 1985 for the "New Alfred Hitchcock Presents" that starred John Huston in the Lorre role and Melanie Griffith as the Girl. Tarentino's version refers to the classic Hitchcock episode as the inspiration for the bet...and as you know has a completely different ending then the story it was inspired by. >> ^ctrlaltbleach:

Same bit is used in Quentin Tarantino's Four Rooms.

Roseanne Barr writes a lovely piece on the saga: http://www.thecomicscomic.com/2011/03/roseanne-barr-weighs-in-on-charlie-sheen-and-chuck-lorre.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign

Chuck Lorre made Dharma and Greg....he's smarter than a Million Einsteins.
