If You Couldn't Stand The Big Bang Theory, Watch This 4-Season Comedy That's Honestly A Lot Better

The Big Bang Theory might be the most popular sitcom about geeks, but The IT Crowd did a much better job of satirizing that subculture. From 2007 to 2019, The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 seasons as one of the highest-rated comedies on TV. But, while it was beloved by general audiences, the specific community it depicted — sci-fi fans and comic book readers — felt that it misrepresented them. It paid lip service to various pop culture references, but it played more like a jock’s idea of what nerds are like.
