Big Bang Theory - Season 1

SUPERIOR SERIES, but ignore the Editorial Review

The Big Bang Theory is an excellent series, which I recommend highly. However, at the risk of seeming as "geeky" as the protagonists of the show, I must point out that the "official" review is wildly erroneous. So erroneous, in fact that I must question wheather the reviewer, Mr. Erickson, ever watched the series. I have inserted corrections in the review text.<BR/><BR/>Editorial Reviews<BR/>From the same production team responsible for Two a Half Men, the CBS "nerd-com" The Big Bang Theory clued the viewer in on what to expect right from the get-go by naming its two main characters "Sheldon" and "Leonard" (though all resemblance to the famous gangster actor-turned-TV producer ended right there!) They were both brilliant physicists, living together in a technology-cluttered apartment, and spending their free time with a circle of fellow geeks from Cal Tech. And, need we add, bbwsof course, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) were despite their hyper-intelligence hopelessly "backward" on a social level; after all, it isn't easy to pick up girls when the only things you know how to talk about are isotopes and video games. Our heroes were thrown for a mobius strip when the incredibly beautiful and voluptuous Penny (Kaley Cuoco), a recent divorcee, [NOT A DIVORCEE-PENNY HAD JUST ENDED A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP, BUT HAD NOT BEEN MARRIED] moved ino the apartment next door. Fascinated by the two "Beautiful Mind Guys," Penny decided to hang around with Sheldon and Leonard whenever possible. [ALTHOUGH, THEY DO, OF COURSE, SPEND CONSIDERABLE TIME TOGETHER, PENNY NEVER MADE SUCH A DECISION] Having seldom been in such close proximity to a genuinely gorgeous girl, Leonard was anxious to make a few moves (assuming he knew any!), but Sheldon, perpetually unlucky in love, kept his distance, convinced that he'd only have his heart broken again. [THIS IS THE MOST EGREGIOUS ERROR. SHELDON IS NOT "UNLUCKY" IN LOVE, BUT SIMPLY UNINTERESTED IN IT, AND HE NEVER INDICATED THAT HIS HEART HAD BEEN "BROKEN".] Occasionally dropping in for the random punchline were the boys' college pals, the loquacious Howard (Simon Helberg) and the virtually mute Rajesh (Kunai Nayyar).[RAJESH IS SILENT ONLY IN THE PRESENCE OF PENNY, OR OTHER BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, OTHERWISE HE IS FAR FROM MUTE] The Big Bang Theory was first networkcast on September 24, 2007. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide<BR/><BR/>Also, contrary to the information on this 'site, the language of the series is not "Portugais", or Portuguese, for that matter.

This is the funniest show on television today! The chemistry between the group is excellent! Hope this show finds an audience and has a long run.

Geek is the new sexy!

To be honest, I don't understand most of the physics concepts in this series. But still, every scene makes me laugh. Sheldon (Jim Parsons) is hilarious! You'll get hooked!

Hilarious

New favorite show that's about scientists Leonard, Sheldon and their friends Raj and Howard and how they become friends with Penny, their new neighbor that lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard . So of course hilarity ensues. The main characters are funny.

This show is AWESOME!!!

TBBT

I adore this show. Initially, I feared watching this show, for I thought it would either ridicule intelligent people or their opposites. However, the series did neither. The highly intelligent characters are endearing, while Penny (their neighbor of lesser intelligence(by their standards), but higher common sense) is just as likable. The characters balance each other out, without mocking one population more than another. I enjoyed this series for its originality, and its attempt to provide more jokes based on academic ideas. However, this humor is not solely for the members of MENSA, it is written for a wide range- there were some jokes that my engineering friends laughed at that I didn't get, and some that I laughed at that they didn't get.

Nerd is the new chic!

A lighthearted sitcom that reminds its viewers that nerds are people too, and that the desire for acceptance and love is universal (well, maybe not for Sheldon).

Hilarious!!! The show is so funny I can watch them again and still laugh!

I found the Big Bang Theory show by accident, a review caught my attention so I decided to watch the show. I was immediately hooked, I set up my DVR to record the show and I ordered Season 1 & Season 2 DVD sets. The writers for this show are amazing and if you are in a bad mood this show will cure it!

Witty, Inteeligent, Fun

This is a clever sitcom that appeals to a cerebral audience to understand all of the scientific humor references, which means it was written by Einsteins with an obviious fetish for hot blondes. The structure of each episode and the comedic payoffs hit hard and often. Lastly, the leading lady wears short shorts. So, GO watch. Nerds will enjoy the show better than jocks.

Perfect Comedy for College Kids

I attend a "nerd school" and the characters on this show are exactly like the guys I hang out with/go to classes with. If you have a smart sense of humor, you should find this show as hilariously entertaining as I do, and this is just the first season! Every character is lovable, every episode funny, and I can't find anything to hate.

Absolutely love!

This show can not be improved upon. So funny!!

It's all about the characters

Such a wonderful cast, the geeks nab you into their world and then penny comes along rather quickly. I was rather worried that her character would become one of those characters that you love to hate but she has a delightful range of acting skills and continues to grow into the series giving me a that much more appreciation for her, being such an oddball.

You must see it, you will laugh so hard your neighbors will hear.

Big Ban Theory Season One is the funniest new show out there

The only complaint I have about this box set is that every time we take it to a friends house, we have to leave it with them because they won't give it back until they've seen the whole thing. We have already had to buy it twice just so we could watch it. Very funny new show and guaranteed to cheer up any depressed person.

A very funny show

People says this show is very funny.

For the Geek in all of us!

Being a Geek myself I found this to be one of the best sitcoms I've ever seen. I can see a little of myself in each of the guys and can't help but laugh during each episode. Highly recommended for geeks and those people who love them.

Are clever people really like Sheldon?

Just one word, BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!
Extremely funny, with seriously funny moments! Penny and Sheldon communicating in the same language but completely different dialects. Sheldon speaking Authentic Geek and Penny Bemused American!

We could watch this over and over and not get tired.

This show is very funny.
