The show is what it is. If you want cheap laughs and to not think too hard it’s perfect. I liked it. It does get a bit two dimensional after a while, so we quit watching it. It was fine while we enjoyed it, so it served its purpose. No need to hate it.
Same, I don’t even like the show but my girlfriend watches it occasionally and it’s…fine, I laugh sometimes. The amount of people online who complain about it and vehemently hate it is tiresome. Yes, it has a laugh track, yes, there are much better shows to watch, and yes to a number of other reasons it is not a great show. But, the amount of time and energy people devote to complaining about something they don’t like is stupid to me. Cool, you don’t like this thing that most people (myself included) in this space don’t like either, we don’t need yet another post complaining about it again. Please move on and don’t let something so trivial take up so much space in your head.
I think what often gets underestimated is that bland/cheesy/predictable can sometimes be exactly what people are looking for. Imo these kind of shows/movies are a bit like white noise, sometimes people just want to zone out or have some background noise. In that case a show being good or complex might actually be negative, since you might psychologically feel bad if you miss something.

I think the issue with BBT is that it was so ubiquitous, it was just massively visible for a long time for such a bland, cheesy show.

This is the most backhanded compliment lol
Sure, but that’s why people who have higher standards hate it.
