The Big Bang Theory

I didn't expect much from this show at the beginning of this season, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has actually become my favorite show this year.

Now, with only one new episode left this season I will miss it over the summer and hope to see it back next year (PLEASE CBS!!!).

There are so many aspects of the show I like. First, I love how various aspects of the nerds relate to the folks I know (mostly in IT). Second, I love how the show flirts with the stereotypes, such as the dumb blond, but doesn't quite go there. Penny is not dumb, and Raj can be quite social if the circumstances are right. The blending of intellectual and ridiculous is also very well done, so that neither is overwhelming.

Keep it up, and keep this on TV!

Being a physicists, I'm unsure of what to think of this show; however, the chemistry between the "nerds" is terrific! It is great to turn on a show that helps bring me back down to earth. The show may be a tiny bit unrealistic when it comes to how "nerds" actually behave, but you don't have to be a nerd to appreciate the science humor. In the same respect, the behavior of the "regulars" is a little exaggerated, but is done in such a way which helps accentuate the characters' contrast.

So what is to lose from watching this show?

You WILL be laughing by the end!

(The End)

I have seen a few episodes of the new CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory and to me it's one of the best written sitcoms currently on network TV. The scripts are filled with scientific references some people might not understand but they are very witty. Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons are definitely one of TV's newest comedy teams who have great chemistry and the addition of Kaley Cuoco as their neighbor, Penny brightens up the show. Let's not overlook the supporting cast with Simon Helberg as Wolowitz, who looks a little like Paul Reubens, the man behind Pee-Wee Herman and Kunal Nayyar as their friend from India.

If you watch the closing credits closely, you'll notice that there's a credit saying "Science Consultant." It's the first sitcom to employ one. It was a very good idea by the show's creator Chuck Lorre, who also is behind the CBS hit Two and a Half Men to hire one to bring scientific honesty into the show.

I hope The Big Bang Theory is around for several years. It has a solid future.

The Big Bang Theory is one of the more popular comedies of all-time! Every character on the show is almost as equally funny as the others, everyone has their favorites but all are funny. The show keeps it focus on the core four characters and their significant others. You really end up caring about what happens to these hilarious characters. Whether you like this show or not there's no denying that it's obviously one of the most popular sitcoms of all-time, all you have to do is look at the ratings, how much the cast was paid and considering it's on all the time. While I wouldn't exactly put it among my favorite comedies of all time, I would say that it still a pretty fun show. You know the show is popular that when it was ending it felt like it was an end to an era.

I don't like it because it's funny. I like it because of the characters. I can identify with several of the characters and can really identify with Sheldon. The people who complain about that the others are mean to Sheldon when he has some sort of mental issues is stupid. I would be happy to have friends like this. Stop complaining and enjoy the show instead or don't watch it if you don't like it.
