At long last, nerds are getting their dues. For those of you who haven't already checked out The Big Bang Theory, I strongly urge you to at least give it a shot for a couple episodes. Granted, it took me a few episodes to get into it but now I can't get enough of it. Long story short, Sheldon and Leonard are living together in an apartment in L.A. and both are incredibly smart, like they're allowed to play around with atoms and very high-powered lasers smart. They live across the hall from "actress"-turned-waitress Penny. Sheldon (the tall one) is almost completely inept when it comes to human interaction and thinks of everything in the most scientific and logical terms you can imagine, leaving emotion out of the equation. Leonard is a little more in touch with his emotions but still has a pretty damn hard time fitting in with people below his I.Q. level. And Penny... well, she's the one that everyone who isn't a genius can relate to in this show. And, unfortunately, in the beginning she becomes the center of attention for the misguided nerd Leonard and his friends Wolowitz and Koothrappali. Wolowitz thinks he's God's gift to women and that no female in her right mind would be able to deny him (you can guess how well that works out for him) and Koothrappali finds himself unable to speak when in the presence of a female unless under the influence of alcohol (yet again, guess how well this works out). Anyway, the show's hilarious, you should check it out. I mean it won a best comedy series TCA in 2009 for a reason right?
