Fancy a series jam-packed with fun, hilarious one liners and lunacy? Then, The Big Bang Theory is definitely one for your collection! Geeky university physicists Leonard and Sheldon are out of this world when it comes to how the universe works, but when it comes to the fairer sex, fashion and fun (outside of their usual favourite game Klingon Boggle) they've a lot to learn. As soon as beautiful blonde Penny moves into the apartment across the hall, their lives become turned upside-down, proving that it's about time they opted for a little extra curricular education... in life!
The first season grows in confidence through the first half and seems to find its feet at the halfway mark before truly becoming a very watchable and hilarious sitcom. The science twist of the show as a whole, and also in more specific parts proves to be interesting; this allows for clever writing which will definately appeal to science students everywhere.
'The Big Bang Theory' is a charming comedy programme and the first season merges wonderfully with the second, which really shows what it's made of. The second season is just as good as the first one, some may say even better. As we've got familiar with the characters by now, the show spends more time on the humour which, if it involves Jim Parsons as the neurotic Sheldon, is beyond hilarious! It's a must have for all those nerds and closet-geeks.
The characters have truly developed by season 3. You have the socially inept and asexual Sheldon Cooper; a brilliant astro-physicist with absolutely no practical or emotional intelligence whatsoever. Sheldon shares a room with the neurotic experimental physicist Leonard Hofstadter.
Howard Wolowitz, is an electrical engineer who is still dependent on his mother and who relies on men's magazines for personal advice, sincerely believes he is irresistible to women.
Rajesh Koothrappali is a particle astrophysicist who freezes in front of women unless he is drunk and you can imagine the things he says then.
Penny has highly ambitious girl next door who has to tolerate her insufferable neighbours. Penny's presence highlights to the two room-mates how little they understand outside their scientific world. The sitcom is notable for having highly technical terminology in its dialogue, and the writers even employ a physicist to keep their technobabble accurate.

The wonderful thing is that this doesn't turn into the typical two men fighting over the woman (thank you) instead it's two very different men and their views and opinions on life.
I have to admit that whenI first saw this I really didn't like it, it was just another awful American sitcom, but the more I see of it, the more I find myself really enjoying it.
Leonard is sweet in a naive sort of way, he doesn't quite get what's going on and he doesn't know how to react, Penny is the typical ditzy blonde with moments of complete clarity, and Sheldon, what can yoy say about Sheldon, neurotic in the extreme, but very funny to watch. We also have their friends Howard and Raj, also geeks, although Howard thinks that he's a womaniser.
Personally I have a real fondness for Raj, who barely speaks in Penny's presence for the first series because she makes him nervous.
It's good because it's original, because they haven't gone down the usual predictable route, and because the performances are good across the board, there isn't anyone who gives a bad performace. Basically, it's a feel good, entertaining programme that'll make you giggle.
