7. Season 5 Qualitative Audience Research Tom Gliatto of People remarked of season 5, Its bright and obvious as a cartoon yet written with a clean, precise patter of jokes. Its also very well cast

Season 6 Qualitative Audience Research Kate Ward of Entertainment Weekly gave season 6 a 91/100, remarking Bialik manages to steal scenes from Parsons as if shes been with the crew since, well, the big bang. Robert Bianco continued to give a positive review, noting When it comes to making viewers catch their breath from laughing, no show tops Big Bang, and thats an ability that should never be undervalued in a comedy. Bang is one of those rare series where just thinking about some of the plots is enough to make you laugh all over again From the reviews you can see that Big Bang Theory isnt for everyone but it does have more positive reviews than negative.It also had more positive reviews as each season passed with the last season getting the best rating of 91/100.This reflects with the amount of people watching it also as with each season more people watched the show thus more positive reviews from reviewers.
