Drug the Priest
catch a predator is hilarious. There's guys who have watched the show and then ended up in it! 

What really bothers me about it are moments like the first few seconds of this video:

What I'm talking about is the laugh track after Sheldon brings up the subject of teleportation. I find this example particularly offensive because I've had this exact same conversation. How the hell is it a laughing matter? There was no joke! Does a discussion of potential future technology constitute as a joke in American television?
The Big Bang Theory is awful.
It's filled with awful cliched stereotypes all in one person(which is extremely rare when it comes to real life nerds), and the jokes are awful as well, and really only make nerd references that none nerds will see and think "OH HEY I KNOW STARTREK, I'M SUCH A NERD". I'll take the IT Crowd instead, even the latest season which wasn't as good as the others.
I understand you don't get most of the jokes that's why you think it's awful. Most of the jokes done on that show are related to physics and the universe.
