1 star for the intro song, it slaps. 1 star for the production value. 1 star for the jokes being well-executed enough to make me chuckle every once in a while. 1 star for being somewhat entertaining/enjoyable when consumed unattentively in the background without giving it too much thought. So in my teens I actually watched some episodes with my sister. You can see I am being really generous here.
But apart from that I can not for the life of me find anything else, that is somewhat even only "okay" about the show. Its blatant racism, sexism, ableism and overall shallowness, makes it indigestible for adult-me. It is cringe-worthy at best and actively hurtful at worst. And Penny was done so unbelievably wrong with the ending. But what am I saying? The whole character of Penny is an insult to her entire gender and especially to women in science. Yes, I know about Amy. Take a look at her. Take a look at Penny. If you don't see the issue, you're honestly not even qualified to have an opinion on the matter.
