I have watched little to no television during the past decade. So, it was news to me, but apparently The Big Bang Theory remained one of the most popular shows up until its last season. It says something about modern society that everyone wants to watch a show about former intellectuals being constantly derided, degraded and brought to heel, ground under mundane social ape concerns: making intra-tribal alliances, seeking mates and reinforcing family units.
Everyone's eager to see the nerds leashed and muzzled and trotted about to sing popular tunes on command.
It says something... but hell, by this point nobody's listening anyway.
