It's a sitcom. That's what they do... don't take it so seriously.

My point was that people other than traditional 'geeks' find the show amusing. They get the humor. Geek-culture has gone mainstream.

I don't think that's accurate. They're laughing at us, not with us. They don't need to understand "geek-culture" to laugh at us. We just need to be different.

Sheldon is actually played in a pretty high-status way, despite his quirks.
