Totally Offensive To All Scientists

this has to be the most insulting and offensive idea for a show about scientists that you could possibly have come up with.  wait, i guess i shouldn't say that, i'm sure you could do even worse if you tried.  you have brought out every tired stereotype about scientists in the book, reinforcing the idea that (1) all scientists are men, (2) scientists are bumbling idiots who can't function in real life, (3) scientists are sexually inept, (4) sexy women are not scientists, (5) in fact, no women are scientists, (5) indian scientists are even more socially backward and sexless than your regular run of the mill american scientist. 

there is so much that is humorous in the real world about life in science.  you could have made a genuine sitcom about real-life scientists that would have also served to interest young people in this country in careers in science, not totally turn them off science like this piece of crap is going to do.  and you wouldn't have had to insult every woman and man in science in the process.

this show is simply oozing with archaic stereotypes, so much so that when i read the description i almost believed it was some kind of joke or parody.

i shudder to think of millions of girls across the country watching a show that condemns not only their own minds as worthless, but also indoctrinates them with the idea that science cannot possibly be anything but nerdy. apparently cbs doesn't think that beauty and the geek went far enough to degrade women and science and wishes to pick up where the cw left off, in a backwards relay race to see who can can reach the middle ages the fastest.

but then, why should cbs care what i think? i'm just a dumb blond after all, so i couldn't possibly have any opinions worth noting.
