⭐Best show ever made⭐Funny, charming, smart, exciting, wonderful actors, and just very well done. Bottom line, this show is for everyone. I recommend it. A real must have!!.Score: 5/5

Mind-numbingly pedestrianThat a show as aggressively mediocre as this thrives while shows like Community, News Radio, Arrested Development and others have struggled to find viewers over the years, defies all logic. Broad characters, stereotypical nerds and oddballs and no shortage of very obvious and often obnoxious "humor". It's a massive hit, and I gave it a shot, but this one is definitely not for some viewers..Score: 1/5

Almost as good as FriendsI love this show because it shows that nerds can be charming, sexy, and funny. It has tons of similarities to Friends. Leonard and Penny's relationship for example is like the Ross/ Rachel scenario. Leonard is the awkward one (Ross) while Penny is the outgoing experienced one (Rachel). Howard is like Joey, the one who's always after women, while Raj is a Chandler, the one who has bad luck with women. If you liked Friends, you will love TBBT..Score: 5/5

Big Bang FantasticThis is a great series, but iTunes charges way too much for them. Most TV series, especially when they have more than one season out can be picked up for under $20 dollars and you get the hard disk with it. iTunes is taking advantage here and personally I will not buy any of these until they drop their prices. Come on iTunes let's keep it real!!!.Score: 5/5

The pilot had me in hysterics - definately a good show if you are a closet or not so closet geek yourself.

Not so sure that people not certified at least 60% geek will be so enamoured!.Score: 4/5

Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists – wizards in the laboratory, but socially inept outside of it. Enter beautiful, free-spirited neighbor, Penny, who aims to teach them a thing or two about life. While Leonard spends his days looking for love, Sheldon is quite content video-chatting with platonic partner and neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), or playing Star Trek three-sided chess with their ever-expanding universe of friends, including fellow scientists Raj Koothrappali and Howard Wolowitz, and Howard’s new fiancĂ©e, the adorable micro-biologist/waitress, Bernadette (Melissa Rauch). EmmyÂź-nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series as well as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for both Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki, this award-winning comedy is nothing short of genius!

The CalTech geniuses of The Big Bang Theory return for season six after being thrown for a bell curve in the phenomenally funny fifth season of the hit show. In “TV’s top-rated comedy” (New York Post), Leonard has to “debug” his relationship with Penny once more after accidentally proposing to her in the heat of the moment, while Sheldon, Howard, and Raj continue to discover the feminine mystique is something that cannot be easily graphed or calculated. With even greater personal contact with his not girlfriend but “friend-who-happens-to-be-a-girl” Amy Farrah Fowler, Sheldon might have to make even more begrudging amendments to his “Relationship Agreement” while Raj continues to look for a girl as nice as Siri, and Howard gets ready for splashdown in both his NASA space travels and wedding to the spirited Bernadette.

Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists, the kind of 'beautiful minds' that understand how the universe works. But none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz, Koothrappali and Winkle. However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities ... including love.

Enter beautiful, street-smart neighbor, the actress/waitress Penny (Kaley Cuoco), who aims to teach them a thing or two about life. Despite their on-again, off-again relationship in the past, Leonard believes he’s found true love with Penny. Even Sheldon has grown comfortable with a female companion, entering into a signed “Relationship Agreement” with neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik). In their free time, Leonard and Sheldon continue to enjoy weekly trips to the comic book store and fantasy role-playing games with their ever-expanding universe of friends, including fellow scientists Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg), and Howard’s microbiologist wife, Bernadette (Melissa Rauch).

The physics of funny is back for year three! At work, CalTech doctors Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter and their uber-geek pals Howard Wolowitz and Rajesh Koothrapali rule over the rules of the cosmos. At home, however, on the mean streets of Pasadena – whether it’s dating or day-to-day survival – the real world conquers them. And with one of the universe’s greatest mysteries living next door – an attractive neighbor named Penny – they’ve got their work cut out from them. Emmy¼ nominee Jim Parsons stars alongside Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco and more in the third laugh-filled season from creator/producers Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (Dharma & Greg) that proves the hypothesis that comedy is both an art and a science!

Worlds collided last season, when a love affair with Penny (Kaley Cuoco) opened a big, wide, wonderful world of romance for Leonard (Johnny Galecki). Sheldon (Jim Parsons), of course, likes the world just the way it is, thank you. And now, that Leonard and Penny have broken up again, all three can test all the variables of being neighbors once more. The result makes for a zany comic triangle with brainy, clueless Sheldon and practical, grounded Penny hilariously vying for the role of hypotenuse to level-headed Leonard. Add to this combustible chemistry, the terminally under-spoken Raj, the over-spoken Howard and guest stars like Apple’s Steve Wozniak and more and you’ve got all the fun of a series that only gets better. Entertainment Weekly raves that the show “has transformed from a cute comedy about eggheads and their hottie neighbor into an addictive ensemble piece that could be this decade’s answer to Friends.”

Prepare to enter phase nine of television’s perpetual laughter experiment as THE BIG BANG THEORY successfully fuses the elements of science and sitcom. Our two genius roommates – Leonard and Sheldon ¬– and their friends are back once again (smarter, but no wiser). Last season, Sheldon went soul-searching (on a train, of course) and was prepared to make some substantial revisions on his Relationship Agreement with Amy, when everything changed. Leonard, meanwhile, was off to Vegas with Penny to finally tie the knot in the season finale. Howard finds himself alone with Bernadette after the sudden passing of his mother; while Raj is not only talking to women – he’s getting exclusive with Emily (Laura Spencer). Together, they will all learn that life is far more complicated outside of the lab as love and friendship never produce predictable results!

Last season, Leonard and Penny went from next-door neighbors to next-door newlyweds with a nuptial excursion to Vegas.

Meanwhile, the Relationship Agreement between Sheldon and Amy added an entirely new subsection with their annual coitus clause. Also, gravitating in their universe, Howard and Bernadette prepare for the arrival of a little Wolowitz, while Raj finds himself juggling not one, but two girlfriends.
