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

Very uneven performances. Leonard, who is the 'straight man' of the comedy team impressed me much more than Sheldon as an actor. Sheldon is a caricature of all the nerd-genius--relationship negative characters who ever performed in any media.
Penny is believable and enjoyable.
The later episodes did improve, so I will probably buy future seasons.

This is one of my favourites and is one of the best comedies out there. For $15 this is more then worth it.
Amazon's shipping very very disappointing, it took them forever to ship it.

Was only referred to this show earlier this year. After watching half an episode (Flipped channels in time to catch the end of the episode) I realised that I'd ultimately end up buying the dvd, so saved myself the prolonged torment and ordered it straight away.
I long all the guys, but Sheldon is just so adorable in his own obnoxious way. I'm sure I'll end up buying every series (and most likely sooner rather than later... just don;t tell my bank account :)

Very funny & a Must-Watch! Rented the DVDs from a shop without any expectations. Blew my mind and made me laugh non-stop from start to finish. Stands out amongst other current comedy serials with its unique setting, characters and storylines. Had to own my own set & bought it at a great price from Amazon.com!

Once again, I have trusted the overwhelmingly postive reviews at Amazon, and once again I have been rewarded with excellent entertainment.
The first time was "Firefly" and I have been in love with it since.
Now, "Big Bang Theory": it is simply PERFECT.
That's all I have time for now. I need to keep watching it!
More later!
Buy it now.
