    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Unlike most TV shows or movies, when characters in the show eat, the prop food is real. Their prop master previously aspired to be a chef and lovingly cooks every meal seen on screen.
    • Goofs
      In one episode, Sheldon states that pets are banned under the roommate agreement, but in another he adopts 25 cats. But it's regularly shown that Sheldon uses the roommate agreement to his own advantage, sometimes unaware, but more often completely ignoring, how it affects Leonard.
    • Quotes

      [repeated line when someone accuses Sheldon of being crazy]

      Sheldon: I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested!

    • Crazy credits
      One of the final cards to appear in the credit sequence is the vanity card for Chuck Lorre Productions. In keeping with his practice on Dharma & Greg (1997) and Two and a Half Men (2003), there is a different message on the card each week, written by Chuck Lorre himself.

    Guilty Pleasure
    This show is definitely one of my guilty pleasures! Tuesdays are spent anxiously awaiting its posting on iTunes so I can download it, as I live in Canada & don't have cable. TBBT is a trip down memory lane for me, as it IS my high school experience (20+ years ago, I was a smarter Penny). I love the characters, especially Leonard who is adorable, and the smarmy yet surprisingly charming Wolowitz. It has the feel of "Frasier Goes To College". I do agree though that they should lose the laugh track - annoying, but not enough to make me stop watching. BTW, very smart of CBS to originally have offered the pilot as a free download or I would never have given it a look. Now I'm an addict!

    FAQ17

    • Why does Apple logo on Macbook (owned by Raj) and Mac (owned by Amy) are not clearly revealing but Dell logo (or name) is clear on laptops?
    • Who portrays Howards mother when she is shown onscreen?
    • What is on the wall to the left of the entryway to the bedrooms? It looks like a series of On/Off Switches.
