I've tried. I really have. I've tried to watch this show. I'm a nerdy type that enjoys Dungeons and Dragons, fantasy and sci fi literature, video games, all of it. It just isn't funny. Its predictable. Its formulaic. You can see the jokes coming from a mile away, and they aren't funny. "Hey Sheldon, what is this?" "It is the one ring to rule them all" *Laughtrack* What? WHere is the joke? Sheldon likes LoTR LOL AMIRITE GUYS? SO can someone explain to me where the humor is? The best and funniest thing to come out of that show is really this meme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABWkdaCY7FY

nerds are finally portrayed in popular media as successful, happy, non-picked-on-and-harassed-marginalizations of society

It's loved by older mothers of nerdy men, it reminds them of when their beloved sons still lived at home while giving them hope that they might produce grandchildren one day.

That can't be right, though. Its a hugely popular show that keeps getting renewed for some reason. People hear I'm into D&D or roleplaying games and they are like OMG I like BBT, I'm a total nerd and GET EVERYTHING, no I haven't read the LOTR books, but the movies were great! Its not even about "nerd cred" though, its about the supposed comedy of an entire culture by virtue of that culture existing.

Better than any other work of art throughout human history, it celebrates the transcendent bliss that a nerd feels when he finally gets all up in some oval office. If you look closely, they even clue you into this theme directly on the show: B rothas A re Z oomin I nside N ewly G ifted A areas

This, basically. "He said Warcraft? My son plays Warcraft! That Sheldon guy wears a shirt with a comic book logo on it just like my sonny boy!"

The broad answer is because nobody ever went broke by overestimating the bad taste of the american public. See also: every tv show ever.

I was accepting a shipment on our loading dock once when the truck driver asks me "DO U LIKE BIG BANG THEORY" And I just said no because I hate the show but also I wanted to escape the conversation quickly. Then he gave me the answer: "HEH THOSE NERDS CAN FIGURE OUT A COMPUTERS BUT THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WOMENS" Target demo hit, mission accomplished.
