The Big Bang Theory - A TV show am currently crazy about !!



The Big Bang Theory is an american sitcom which has had me in splits lately. The show is about a group of four nerds and how things change when a beautiful girl moves into the apartment across the hall. The lead characters, Sheldon(Jim Parsons) is the main source of humor with his extreme intelligence and compulsive behavior.He works at CalTech as a theoretical physicist working on string theory. Leonard(Johnny Galecki) is Sheldon's roommate and has to put up with his behavior. Penny (Kaley Cuoco) is the girl who moves in. She works as a waitress and aspires to be an actress and is the only normal person on the show. Howard (Simon Helberg) is a Jew who lives with his mother and his constant attempts to fulfill his romantic aspirations are seriously funny. Rajesh (Kunal Nayyar) is a Indian who cant speak to women. Both Howard and Rajesh are friends of Sheldon and Leonard. No one really likes Sheldon owing to his attitude but put up with him.


The Show makes many references to Sci-Fi like Star Trek and Star wars and most of the humor is linked to the same theme. The scenes in the show commonly take place in the apartment or at the university cafeteria. The show is currently in its third season and continues to gather very high ratings. Despite its title, you don't need to be a genius or be into science to like this show. Each episode runs for 20 mins and is a laugh riot (especially season 3) .


If you dont watch this show, you should definitely give it a try. You will love it !!
