The Big Bang Theory (TBBT) follows the lives of two sky-high-IQ physicists, Leonard and Sheldon, their cute blonde neighbor Penny and some of their friends and colleagues.Portraying the geeks in a funny and sweet way, the show manages to appeal to a wide audience, also due to the fact that very much the same characters can be discovered in a closest circle of any of us. The show covers such topics of what geeks supposedly covet and get obsessed about as gadgets, comics, computer games and Sci-Fi TV shows, Star Trek in particular.

The Big Bang Theory: a TV mediocrity fluctuation 12 November

Blame it on my inner nerdiness or fortunate position of the constellations but I find TBBT hysterically funny. The casting is brilliant, the chemistry on screen — unmistakable, the scripts — pure joy. It’s one of those rare character-driven gems that lighten up your day after some TV show goes sour. I haven’t laughed that hard since IT Crowd (and with two seasons and 12 episodes total that was simply not enough).

The premise of the show is rather simplistic: The Nerd and The Nerdier roommates Leonard (IQ 173) and Sheldon (IQ 187) meet their new neighbour, pretty material girl Penny. The brainiacs have two friends: a horny engineer Howard Wolowitz and Raj, a cute astrophysicist who turns mute in front of girls. Leonard is less smart more social, so he immediately falls for Penny.
