The Big Bang Theory

I remember when it was first mentioned in history class, everyone was like, 'oh wow', what a nerd, etc. That was pretty stupid. 'The Big Bang Theory' not only refers to the actual theory itself, but also a popular american TV Show. That was what I was talking about. In Belgium, when I went to the British school (which was strictly speaking, an international school), there were people from al over the world. There were many americans and australiens. They watched a lot of american shows. One of them was The Big Bang Theory (plus others, like How I Met Your Mother, etc.). I love that show. It is now premiering its 5th season soon. The show is about a bunch of nerds and a pretty girl next door. The main characters are Sheldon, Leonard, and Penny. Sheldon and Leonard are roommates who live across from eachother in an apartment in Pasadena. Sheldon and Leonard have two other friends, Howard and Raj, and they all work at the university. Penny is a waitress. The one thing I love about this show is its characterization. The characters are portrayed very well by their actors as well. It is a comedy show, and mentions a lot of nerdy stuff like Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. They also speak Klingon fluently (that's how nerdy they are, even though I think its really cool). They also really like comic books, like Batman, Superman, etc. and basically know, and own, every single Marvel comic book. They are all extremely smart. It was said that Leonard and Sheldon had a combined IQ of 360 (Sheldon: 187, LeonardL 173). It is a pretty stereotypical comedy show.
