>The gist of your argument is that since (1) geeks are more prominent in pop culture lately, (2) BBT is a comedy about geeks, then it follows that (3) BBT must be a show for geeks.

No, I'm not arguing anything. I'm not into formal reasoning in common discussions.

What I said is BBT is a show for geeks, period. The other stuff I said to explain why they made it so, not to prove that it is so.

So I offer no "evidence" and no "proof" (that would be too geeky in itself) -- just my opinion that BBT is a show targeted at the general geek audience, take it or leave it.

>Yes, BBT includes geek references. So what? Excuse the "dreadful counter-examples", but ER included medical references, MASH included military references, etc. That's required by concept of the show.

I think I answered that objection in my original comment: while those shows also contain references, the difference is that BBT "is all about the geek references, and nothing is generic and universal".
