Many moons ago, the venerable
qb_fox mentioned a TV show that was about to hit our screens called Big Bang Theory.
I watched the first episode, and was less than impressed.
On the last 2 Thursday evenings, I've watched my usual episodes of My Name Is Earl, and then watched the episodes of Big Bang Theory that followed.
I don't know if my perspective has changed, or if the show has got better, but I must admit that they appeared to be much better than that first episode that I watched.
