The Big Bang Theory

This show is definitely one of my guilty pleasures! Tuesdays are spent anxiously awaiting its posting on iTunes so I can download itas I live in Canada & don't have cable. TBBT is a trip down memory lane for meas it IS my high school experience (20+ years agoI was a smarter Penny). I love the charactersespecially Leonard who is adorableand the smarmy yet surprisingly charming Wolowitz. It has the feel of "Frasier Goes To College". I do agree though that they should lose the laugh track - annoyingbut not enough to make me stop watching. BTWvery smart of CBS to originally have offered the pilot as a free download or I would never have given it a look. Now I'm an addict!

Being a physicistsI'm unsure of what to think of this show; howeverthe 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 behavebut you don't have to be a nerd to appreciate the science humor. In the same respectthe behavior of the "regulars" is a little exaggeratedbut 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 miss the show when it was about nerdy men nerding over science experiments and awkward women encounters. It then after about five seasons turned into a 'Please the Wife- Soap Opera'.

I hate Bernadette's character and how much she belittles Howard like a strict motherconstantly telling him what to do and making him a puppet to fill her needs. Howard has always been a funny character but being in that relationship made his humour all caged.

Sheldon reminded me of Spockan awkward intellect who's spot-on logic and obsessive compulsive disorder made it an inspiration even at the weirdest of moments. Although throughout the series you notice Sheldon starts to slowly lose his Sheldon'ness and starts to become more human in a sense. Which made it slightly displeasing to what we loved Sheldon for in the first place.

Penny being the stereotypical sex driven blonde was okher beauty made the boys more awkward like nerds would be. Sheldon's intelligence overpowering hers is what also made it funny for social awkardnesshim constantly correcting her and her replying sarcasticly showed the difference between the two. Her and Leonard's relationship was not a problembut when they all had relationshipsit became an occurring thing to have at least one relationship problem in an episode and it made the viewing cringy.

The show still has a decent episode everynow and then but it's not as funny as the first few seasons.

While The Big Bang Theory is far from one my favorite comediesit's still a pretty funny show that's worth watching. There's a reason it's on all the time and that's because people seem to love it. It's one of those shows where you can have it on in the background while you do other things around the house. The cast (Johnny GaleckiJim ParsonsKaley CuocoSimon HelbergKunal NayyarMelissa Rauch & Mayim Bialik) is what makes this show so funnythere's not a bad character on the entire show and all bring something to it. Even all the supporting characters will make you laugh. If you're the one person who hasn't seen this yet all you have to do is turn on your tv because it'll be on somewhere.

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 neighborPenny brightens up the show. Let's not overlook the supporting cast with Simon Helberg as Wolowitzwho looks a little like Paul Reubensthe man behind Pee-Wee Herman and Kunal Nayyar as their friend from India.

If you watch the closing credits closelyyou'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 Lorrewho 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.
