So, a couple of friends of mine introduced me to this sitcom called “The Big Bang Theory”. It’s actually a great show that revolves around the lives of a group of scientists.
So, from what it seems, Leonard is the main character. His room-mate is Sheldon, and they have two friends named Rajesh Koothrapali (spelling?) and Howard Wallowitz.
They’re all really smart, but none of them really have any social skills or any knowledge about the world beyond what they live and work in. For example, Leonard tries to hard to be normal, but usually ends up failing. Sheldon cannot distinguish sarcasm, has a hard time grasping social situations, and often says things that are offensive to others, but doesn’t realize it himself. Rajesh can’t even speak to girls, or even “feminine males” unless he has alcohol in his system. Howard is a pervert who takes advantage of emotionally unstable women and designs spacecraft for NASA.
Combine the gang with Penny, an aspiring actress but otherwise a normal girl, and there is hilarity to be had. While the guys seem to be described in somewhat of a negative fashion, it’s really these traits that make the show an absolute joy to watch.
Unfortunately, I’m not very good at describing TV shows (never done it before), so the best way to find out what it’s like is to watch the first episode yourself. You can find it on Youtube. Happy watching!
