It was not funny, but then nothing is on The Big Bang Theory.

Probably picked the show only because it’s famous. There are no consistent rules to censorship of course. But now they got the publicity so all Chinese know their loving government is to make sure citizen’s precious eyes only watch sanitized harmonious programming, even though duh not really.

And yet, it’s the show with more heart than any other sitcom on TV. And, it has Allison Brie.

It’s now said that TBBT will now be aired on CCTV but in a “sanitized version”, but it’s crazy how the “unsanitized” version of 2 Broke Girls continues unabated. If Chinese don’t know the English meanings of “weed” and “dildo”, they will after watching that show.

Exactly! And oddly enough Community is still on Sohu.

Although I’m not a fan it’s still sad Chinese don’t get to (legally) watch this safe watered-down show anymore. Still a good thing to broaden minds just a little bit.

Hilarious watching if just for the knowledge that Sohu’s investment would go right down the drain, and for the awesome “Br(eaking) Ba(d)” design tribute behind Leonard’s head.
