Do we wanna understand where we “smart folk” went wrong this year? And arguably the past half century or so? The answer may be in S01E04 of The Big Bang Theory. Facts vs Faith. Being accurately correct vs being “Right.” This is at least why Kamala Harris couldn’t win over Texas.
I’ve enjoyed The Big Bang Theory. I never could get a bead on Young Sheldon. Both shows have respectable ratings and fans, but appeal to different people. TBBT playfully pokes fun at “smart folk.” Young Sheldon respects and admires “regular folk” with a wink and a smile. Grok me?
We “smart folk” don’t understand why the “regular folk” of US choose a lying cheating con artist over a respectable, well-read prosecuting attorney who just happens to be of the fair sex and ethnic descent.
Why would Doctor Phil appeal more to Sheldon’s mom then Oprah Winfrey?
FTR I’m not a “smart folk” or a “regular folk.” Turns out I’m an irregular smart-aleck. I don’t fit into any previously segregated category. I am a Party of One. Nobody makes TV shows about people like me, because the ratings would immediately tank.
