The Big Bang Theory #6 - Loving this show is a non-optional social convention.

THE BIG BANG THEORY APPRECIATION THREAD
-------------------


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 and Koothrappali. However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities... including love.

Meet two brainiacs with a lot to learn. Leonard and Sheldon can tell their quarks from their quantum physics, but have no clue how women add up. Leave it to their pretty new neighbor, just off a messy breakup, to teach them a thing or two.

STARRING ...
..Johnny Galecki as Leonard || ..Jim Parsons as Sheldon || ..Kaley Cuoco as Penny || ..Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz || ..Kunal Nayyar as Rajesh Koothrappali || ..Sara Gilbert as Leslie Winkle

Amber - Finished last night. It was a quick watch. Too bad I couldn't re-watch s2 last night. Oh well.

I didn't remember the latter end of s1 to be that funny - but it was.

And I hate to admit this, but I actually enjoyed LP But I still enjoy SP and there dynamic. Especially when SP were buying Leonard a birthday gift and Grocery shopping Classic!

Yeah, it doesn't take long to watch all the episodes. I watched S1 and S2 in 24 hours ...

I'm glad to hear that, I love Leonard/Penny! But of course, who doesn't love Sheldon and Penny? The shopping was hilarious!

Only four to five days now, yay!

My favorite of those was sick Sheldon! Penny rubbing his chest the wrong way and he was like "My chest hair mats."

Blind Leonard was great. Especially the fact that he crawled on the floor before he put the detector down! "Why did I have to crawl before?" "Good question."

Nithina - Welcome back!

I think I might watch Disc 1 again tonight. I loved 1x04 with Sheldon's mom!

Tonight's rerun is the one with Sheldon learning how to drive.

I'd say an Episode Summary shouldn't constitute as a spoiler persay. And with the BBT they tend to be very lean and more of a thin- summary.

Hi... so I only just discovered TBBT a few weeks ago, and have quickly fallen for this show So I was very excited to see that it will be getting its own board soon! - I'll probably be adding it to my regular boards i visit

Anyway, I think that Sheldon has to be one of the best characters on TV, so hilarious!
