Okay, I will confess that while it has been years since we’ve had a TV in our house, I have always been a fan of “The Big Bang Theory.” Sure, it had some leftist overtones, but I found it funny and a nice break from the regimen of news I had to consume as a talk show host. I still watch the reruns if we are stuck in a hotel room or flying. I particularly enjoyed Sheldon Cooper.
