| − | |This sitcom stars a free-spirited beauty and her socially challenged scientist friends but does not demonstrate any family values. Instead, some of the main characters are rooming together without being married, and all four leading men have dysfunctional relationships with one or both parents. In addition, the key character Sheldon Cooper is one of the most outspoken [[Atheism|atheists]] in sitcom history, which leads to both religious and cultural friction with his devoutly Christian mother Mary as well as his Jewish colleague Howard Wolowitz and Hindu friend Dr. Raj Koothrapali.

| | + | |After being threatened by loan sharks and dumped by his girlfriend, the slacker, gambling addict, and mind-altering drug user Buddy Dobbs nearly attempts suicide before he takes the opportunity to assume the identity of a recently deceased, homosexual Lutheran pastor and hide in the small, fictional Oregon town of Ladner. As implied by this premise, the series spends so much time straining for controversy with sacrilegious and sexual humor, and it misrepresents Christians to an extent that critics of all religious and political persuasions disapproved of it. Only the first three episodes received one million live views, and viewership continued to sink lower and lower until the series was finally cancelled on December 13, 2016. |

Then again, it should come as no surprise because the show is based on graphic novels by atheist British author Neil Gaiman, whose works sometimes switch the personalities of God and Satan in a revisionist manner. | + | |No, you're not reading that wrong.

| − | |Teenage sexual intercourse is a central theme and presented as "normal", which caused the series to be accused of violating child pornography laws. Ironically, a much more sexually explicit version had aired for years in the UK with absolutely no controversy. Like ''GCB'', it ultimately lasted for a single season largely because of the controversy. | + | |The series attempts to normalize teenage sexual intercourse as a central theme, which caused it to be accused of violating child pornography laws.
