Storyline
Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are both brilliant physicists working at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California. They are colleagues, best friends, and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented, deeply eccentric, and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their Cal Tech colleagues mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science-fiction movies, or reading comic books. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with women. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress from Omaha, moves into the apartment across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny to be his girlfriend.

Trivia
One of the shows that survived the 2007 and 2008 writers strike. The show started in 2007, and the strike started in late 2007. This resulted in season one only being seventeen episodes. See more »Goofs
The whole reason Amy and Sheldon finally move in together is because of Amy's apartment flooding out. However, it is never revealed what ever happened to any of Amy's stuff in the apartment. She's never seen checking it out after said incident, never says anything about what happened to any of her stuff (particularly her harp), never gets an insurance check if she was covered (possibly to buy a new harp or something), nor is she ever shown salvaging anything from the apartment. It's as if the apartment never existed. See more »Quotes

Being a physicists, I'm unsure of what to think of this show; however, the chemistry between the "nerds" is terrific! It is great to turn on a show that helps bring me back down to earth. The show may be a tiny bit unrealistic when it comes to how "nerds" actually behave, but you don't have to be a nerd to appreciate the science humor. In the same respect, the behavior of the "regulars" is a little exaggerated, but is done in such a way which helps accentuate the characters' contrast.
So what is to lose from watching this show?
You WILL be laughing by the end!
