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.

I have no idea how a show as awful as this rates so highly while Arrested Development (which has more laughs in the first 5 minutes of an episode than this show has in an entire season) gets cancelled due to low ratings. It must be the blonde bimbo because his show is so weak. Just because it has some physics and science talk in it people assume it's "clever". None of the characters are even remotely believable, let alone likable and the whole show seems to be one sitcom cliché after another. Sadly, I think this show is going to stick around for a while yet, but at least I can choose not to watch it. If you want a clever comedy watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or 30 Rock and stop wasting your time on this rubbish.
