Unfunny and unpopular are not the same thing. A show does not stay on air for 12 seasons by being unpopular and unfunny. Producing television is expensive, and networks renew shows because they are profitable and have strong audience demand. The Big Bang Theory may have been disliked in some online circles, but commercially and mainstream-wise, it was clearly a very popular show.
CBS did not keep funding 12 seasons of a money pit out of the kindness of its heart.
Popular also doesn’t mean good. There are plenty of shows that run for years that aren’t very good, but make money. Mindless entertainment sells great, but selling isn’t quality, it’s just moving products. And low quality cheap schlock does sell.
The Big Bang Theory. Unfunny show that somehow went on for a decade and made a lot of money.

This is basically how I see it:
You keep equating your preferences to reality. Just because you and an online circlejerk don’t like it means that you’re correct.
Depends how you define “good”. I say if a lot of people enjoy it then yes, it’s a good show. After all, entertainment is the primary purpose.
Yeah, but what’s the joke in the meme?
Woman has breasts.
Geeks like looking at breasts.
Geeks feed breasts.
Breasts feed geeks
The circle of life.
I guess, that’s not my kind of humor then…
To be fair, humour is entirely subjective.
ML user doesnt understand humor. Shocker
yes I do… haha meh.
World user thinks confirming a prejudice they hold is humor. Shocker, I guess?
