David Goetsch was a Co-executive Producer on the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory. David has also written for 3rd Rock from the Sun and Game Over.
Back in May of 2008 he joined the geeks to discuss the lingering effects of the WGA strike and what its like to write about geeks on television. This episode was recorded during the first season of Big Bang Theory which was a strike shortened season and this is before the show took off as the most popular comedy on television here.
Over time, The Big Bang Theory has become the subject of conversation regarding whether it is by/for/about geeks or whether it is making fun of them. I have to say that I’m a bit biased in my assessment in that discussion, in part because one of the show runners was willing to hang out on a little podcast by/for/about all aspects of geek culture.
