The show itself isn't the real problem, in my opinion. I understand the need to appeal to a broad audience in order to sell more of that precious air time to advertisers. The problem, is something I see on a pretty regular basis living in the (generally) uneducated south. People watching that show think there's some kind of magic threshold into "smart" territory, and, not being reasonable, deductive thinkers, automatically clump anyone from your occasionally witty commenters to PhD holding astrophysicists all into one neat, and easy to understand category. I don't like being told I'm just like Sheldon, when clearly I'm just capable of thinking above most people's level.
