Trivia:
While Wil Wheaton was appearing on the show, he took a photo of the set's coffee table and posted it on his much-followed blog. Among the materials on the coffee table were copies of "Mental Floss" magazine; "The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections" by Neil Gaiman; a package of Pepperidge Farm Sausalito milk chocolate macadamia nut chunk cookies; a package of Red Vines licorice; and a package of Tim's brand Original Flavor lightly salted potato chips.See more »
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the opening credits, when it shows the cast eating Chinese food, the half-cut cardboard box shows the name, Kart-Out, with a 1-800 number. A visible marker is used over the real brand name, Kari Out, with a 800 number. The shot has been slightly changed after a couple of episodes.See more »

I found the show to be very funny. The laugh track needs to go though. I was afraid that the girl would be portrayed as a really stereotypical dumb blonde. I was glad to see that she is not. Granted she isn't a nerd genius like the rest of the characters, but she is just your average person. There is a lot of subtle humor mixed in with the obvious jokes. Good show and I hope it lasts as there are very few comedies on Television now that can actually make me laugh.
Before 100 people insult my taste, humor is subjective. If you can identify with the subject matter, it is funny to you. If you can't, it isn't. Having worked in Information Technology for over 25 years, I can see a lot of myself and my friends in Sheldon and Leonard.
By the way, if you are my age, you may get the nod to one of the greats of TV comedy in the lead characters first names.
