No I don't like it. Sheldon is just selfish and rude but somehow that is supposed to be charming. And the concusses among neurotypical people seems to be that this is Asperger's. The show's creators have said that was not their intention I guess. I don't see Aspergers in Sheldon. He does not want to understand or care for other people and I think most autistic people would like to.
I don't dislike it only because of the bad stereotype I just don't find it funny. I am not a "nerd" like those guys into comic books and things like that. But it still seems to be joking about nerd culture without really understanding it.
Yeah. The creators don't seem to know what a real nerd is, not even close. The guys are supposed to be grown men but they act like they're in college. And I find the canned laughter just horrible. I can't stand Sheldon either, but his type of character (rude, condescending, and belittling) is what passes for "cute" in today's comedies. I honestly don't see what people enjoy about the show and can hardly believe it's on it's ninth season. Jim Parsons will likely be over 50 by the time it's over, still playing someone who acts 19.
