I don’t think there’s an audience. It sounds like canned laughter. BBT story line is a big promoter of gay agenda, which is why I don’t understand why my grown very anti-gay daughter watches it.
There is a live audience and they swear they do not use “technical audio augmentation” aka laugh tracks. I find it damned hard to believe, but if it is true, the result is even more irritating.
It's not at all. Although its obvious that Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon Cooper, is gay, his character is presented as completely asexual, which is the subject of a lot of the show's jokes.
In earlier episodes there was some suggestion that Raj and Howard -- both of whom were extraordinarily unsuccessful with women -- were gay. But Howard got married to Bernadette, and Raj, while somewhat effeminate has a girlfriend now too.
I think the show is extremely witty and well-written. Just about the only network show I watch.
I don't have much tolerance for shows that shove the gay agenda in my face. BBT is definitely NOT one of them.
Not true at all. The biggest story line regarding being gay is making fun of Howard and Raj - as Leonard's mom accused them of having an "ersatz gay marriage" in a hilarious scene. The main actor is gay in real life, but there is no pro gay message that I've seen, and I've seen a lot of the episodes.
