So, say the show DOES keep going on and on as some predict (and want). With a few more babies and a few time hops over summer breaks, we could have a new crop of young nerds.

1.Will the next generation of nerds be interested in the same things that their daddies were? Will they love Star Trek? Star Wars? Comic books? What is new and cutting age on the nerd horizon?

2.Would capitalizing on a new generation of nerds (on the show AND in the audience) be a good idea?

I think it's more likely their kids end up being the polar opposite of the parents. Jocks with no interest in science.

1) No more nerds. Please. Its over. No wait they all attend Adams College where the 80s nerd comedy "Revenge of the Nerds" took place. No wait again. They are now Neo-Nerds. They attend Matrix University. If they keep going like this the show will morph into Modern Family. Do we really want that?

2) See above answer.

3) Listen here Schrodengers Lemon. Or Special Flowers. Or whoever you are.

1. I do not watch Modern Family so I am unable to answer that.

2. Since typing my response to #1 I still have not started watching Modern Family so I am still unable to answer that.

3. Apparently I shall forever be SpecialFlowers when people quote me. You may view it as a Scarlet Letter of sorts. Lemon trees do apparently have flowers, so there's that.

Anyway, sayeth the soothsayer: Those who do want the show to go on and on need to think about the characters' offspring. It will eventually be impossible to hide an entire new generation. I can just hear it now "Pre-pubescent Sheldon Jr, dive under the coffee table quick! The camera is panning your way!"

Modern Family is a show about three families all inter-related and inter- mingled. There is a standard family with husband and wife and three kids, there are two gay dudes with a adapted asian kid and there is an old dude with a supposedly hot young Columbian wife. Its as bad as it sounds. Just replace with Leonard, Howard, Sheldon and Raj 's new families and wives and there you go. Laughs and tears for season after season.

So are the children on Modern Family allowed to be seen on screen, or are they top-secret like Area 51 too?

Just imagine the Big Bang Theory if it lasts another 5 years:

Penny: Leonard where are all the kids?

Leonard: They're playing hide and go seek!

Amy: Funny I haven't noticed any seeking?!

This was really supposed to be a thread about the differences between nerds of the past and nerds of the future but this is a nice chat as well.

Edit: Sometimes methinks you're Znexy.

Yes of course they are seen. Did you think they were invisible or had a personal cloaking devise ?

Well you were comparing the two shows, and they are not seen on The Big Bang Theory! Plus I like to ask you questions that are ridiculous in nature.

I wonder if future nerds will know what Gorns are? Or Babylon 57? Or Lightning Bug?

Babylon 57 ? Lightning Bug ?

There will be new nerd things for future nerds to like and they will like those new nerd things in the future.

Lightning Bug ?

Oh wait, do you live in one of those fancy parts of the country where they say Firefly?

Firefly ? Are you referring to Josh Whedons brilliant new series that will run forever? Or do mean those fancy glowbeetles?

I was making a fancy joke about that TV series to show off my great knowledge of science-fiction. You know the depths of my knowledge in that area know no bounds.

So Babylon 57 was a joke about Heinz 57 ? Boy those special flowers are really working

Yes. Once again it's like your brain crawled inside of mine.

To end the evening I would like to request a poem. I'll make it easy on you. A haiku. It doesn't have to be anything as poetic is 99 but could you at least make it approach Georgy Porgy in sentiment?

Your inspiration

How about we just get this thread back on topic. A Toto inspired Haiku would just be too much.

Who are you and what have you done with Znex? Well anyway, the poems were nice while they lasted. Have a lovely evening.
