Recently, I have been acquiring new shows to my viewing eyes. One of the most recent ones is Big Bang Theory on CBS. I had mentioned before (I think I did on here) that I had an interest in watching the show.
Well when I was over hanging out at my friend Chris’s, I finally got the hook. He let me borrow the first season on DVD and I pretty much had to limit myself to one or two a night for like a week or I would have watched all 17 episodes right away. Ok, maybe not that serious, but I do really like the show now.
It might be just a new wave of shows, but doesn’t seem that there a lot of geek/nerd shows out there right now? Well this is definitely one of them. There are 5 main characters and 3 of them are physicists, 1 an engineer, and 1 an aspiring actress. The show starts off with Penny moving in across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon. Leonard immediately becomes attracted to Penny and its all basically beauty and the geek from there. Now Leonard and Sheldon have two friends, Howard and Rhaj, who are just as geeky and nerdy as the other two. Sheldon is supper smart knowledge-wise, but lacks any social capacities. Leonard is just fixated on Penny and trying to date her. Rhaj can’t talk to women with being drunk or drinking alcohol, and Howard is just really awkward and kind of a perv.
Basically, the show revolves around Leonard trying to get he beautiful Penny. But to me thats not why you should watch. Sheldon is really the character that anchors this show. Jim Parsons’, the actor, ability to rattle off random facts and just be antisocial is amazingly fun to watch. Although, the whole cast is rather good together and the comedic timing is awesome!
So watch Big Bang Theory! Oh, and Chuck because that show has not been renewed for a 4th season yet!
