I just noticed that I haven't posted some good stuff for a long time. Of course, my whining is definitely not good stuff. Therefore, I decided to share another awesome shows with you guys. Most of you probably already knew about this show, but just suck it up and read it enjoy what I want to share with you.
Big Bang Theory is a show about 4 very intelligent people (either Ph. D or Master degree) who many people define them as "nerds." Indeed, they show every possible stereotype and have ever possible characteristics of nerds in the show. Though some people may find it a little exaggerating, they do perform very well to make us laugh. However, a story about 4 nerds would probably be very boring after a while, so the staff adds in a girl who is tagged as "the blonde girl" who is supposed to be all looks and no academic knowledge.
When these two totally opposite kinds of people collide, sparks do show. :)
Characters:
Leonard Hofstadter:
Leonard is an experimental physicist whose IQ is 173. He is, of course, tagged as a nerd/geek who plays Halo, Guitar Hero, WoW, and all the games that geeks would play. He has no style about his dressing and has no idea about anything but physics, Star Wars, Star Trek, and all other SciFi movies. Something to be noted: all four of the guys share the same interests, but Leonard somehow is the most normal one out of the 4. Many episodes of the series is about him and the neighbor, Penny.
Sheldon Cooper:
Sheldon is Leonard's house mate who has absolutely no idea how this society works. Although he is a genius who received his Ph. D in his 14, he does not know anything about non-academic stuff. This is why many jokes are evolved around him from his manors. For example, he cannot tell when people are being sarcastic (though he learned a bit as the story goes on :) ). Sometimes he can be really annoying, however, because of his characteristics. Even when people do realize that this is part of him, they just cannot stand how he does things in the show. I personally stopped on one episode simply because he's way too annoying. Whether he's good or bad, he is a unique character.
Howard Wolowitz:
Howard is a the only guy out of the four who does not have a Ph.D, and people sometimes make fun of him for that. Besides his smartness, Howard is known for wanting to get laid. He has many "interesting" pickup lines that will never work on any of the women, yet he does not realize this fact and constantly wonders why he cannot get laid. He lives with his mom and is seen as a little boy by his mom disregarding the fact that he's 27. Howard's fun point usually comes from his stupid pickup lines and tricks to get women. However, some people do find it a little disturbing.
Rajesh Koothrappali:
Raj, the 4th guy of the group. He cannot talk to girls with the influence of alcohol. However, once he's drunk, he becomes a smooth talker. We do not find out about it until later in the first season when Penny tries to take the bartender's job and mixes him a drink. Raj talks to his parents often through webcam. His parents live in India and are apparently pretty rich, but Raj often talks about how he was raised in poverty in India. Although Raj has this distinctive symptom that makes him special, he does not really talk much in the show for the same exact reason.
Penny:
Yes, the blonde girl is here. Penny moves into the same building and becomes Leonard and Sheldon's neighbor in the very first episode. Penny works at Cheesecake Factory as a waitress, but she has a dream of becoming an actress in movies or tv shows (ironic, huh?). Unlike the four guys, Penny possesses good street knowledge but is usually confused by the guys. She has dated many guys but eventually broke up with all of them. She and Leonard have this friend/lover relationship that develops throughout the story. Although she does not know much academic stuff, she eventually learned a lot (well, not only academic stuff but also Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.) by simply hanging out with the guys.
Right now it's on its third season. Each episode is about a different story, but the relationship of the characters do develop throughout the story. If you are interested and have some free time, try this show. It's very funny. :)
