Amazon.com:
University physicists Leonard and Sheldon know whether to use an integral or a differential to solve the area under a curve. But they don’t have a clue about girls. Or dating. Or clothes. Or parties. Or having fun. Or, basically, life. So when a pretty blonde named Penny moves in the apartment across the hall, the guys decide to get an education outside of the classroom. Boys, you have a lot to learn. With series creators Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (The Gilmore Girls) concocting the right mix of logic and lunacy and stars Johnny Galecki (Roseanne) and Jim Parsons (Judging Amy) turning geekdom into Phi Beta fun, The Big Bang Theory is big on laughs. And life.
Amazon.com:
The delightful sitcom The Big Bang Theory revolves around a character type rarely seen on television: The alpha geek. Physicists Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) get their lives shaken up when an attractive young woman named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in to the apartment across from theirs. The key to the show, though, is not that they both fall haplessly in love--Leonard does, but Sheldon remains impermeably aloof and caustic about anything resembling romance or human relationships in general. While the push and pull of Leonard's yearning for Penny motivates much of the series' ongoing plot, the show's real drive comes from Sheldon's fantastic combination of obsessive-compulsive neurosis and grandiose obliviousness. He's a brilliant comic creation, imperious and dorky, a seamless collaboration of clever writing and an inspired performance by Parsons. Whether Sheldon loses his job for insulting his new boss, or finds his ego bruised by a child prodigy, or finds himself unable to bear being part of a lie that Leonard has told, he attacks the world with a relentless need to assert his supremacy--and the results are deeply funny.
The triumph of The Big Bang Theory is that everyone is written with genuine affection; what could have been a lifeless parade of stereotypes--Two Nerds and a Hot Chick--becomes instead a charming collision of cultures. The familiar stuff (computer games, comic books, social incompetence) has the grit of specificity; the show understands the difference between Halo and Halo 3, knows what the Bottle City of Kandor is, and grasps the infinite variety of ways in which a conversation can go terribly awry. (Penny gets less nuance, but Cuoco still gives her a distinctive personality.) Kudos as well to supporting players Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, who bring their own variations on geekiness to the table, and to great appearances by some of Galecki's former cohorts on Roseanne--Sara Gilbert as geekette Leslie and Laurie Metcalf as Sheldon's fundamentalist mother. All in all, one of the most winning sitcoms in years. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - wow
I love the show and we watched the whole thing in a week, and again before the new season!
Rating: - Non-Stop Laughter!
From the first second of the pilot, I laughed non-stop throughout the entire first season. I believe this is the best comedy on TV today. Beauty and the Geek...and the Nerd! Great show. And the second season has matched or exceeded my expectations.
Rating: - So Funny
When I saw the previews for this show I was not impressed, looked like it could be silly and just another short lived fill in comedy.
I caught the first episode and thought it was good with potential and it has not let me down. It could have easily fallen into the same old jokes about the scientists/nerds but is alot more than that. Leonard, who is probably the most "normal" is wonderful in his expressions and being somewhere between the geek and normal.
If you have not seen this show due to its title or premise, do yourself a favor a catch an episode or two.
Rating: - A comedy suited for everyone
I love Big Bang Theory and watch it religiously on TV. It is one of the few half hour comedies that is funny without being crass or over the top. You sympathize with the awkwardness of the geeks and understand the frustration of the "girl next door" who tries to socialize them. I recommend this series for all ages and IQs!
Rating: - So funny, you'll cry
I got hooked on this show at about the 3rd episode. I hardly ever watch TV but I can't not watch this. It is so funny and brilliant. Sheldon is so anal its hilarious and Leonard is just so sweet that you can't help but love him. The other characters are so well matched and believable that you can truly enjoy the relationships. The banter is never forced and is really tear-producing funny. Now, we never miss an episode. This DVD kept us from jonesing too much over the summer for the show. The DVD is great with the extras they put on it. Really puts everything in perspective like having a real physicist as a consultant so all their geek-speak is right. It's great.
