DVD Description
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.

I am probably 'old' compared to most viewers of this series as I am over 50. However I do get it and find it to be extremely enjoyable. If Croft and Perry had written a series about uber geek scientists then I can imagine it would have been something like this. Most British viewers are sophisticated enough to transition between British SitCom's and US ones as there has been more and more quality comedy coming out of the States. The Big Bang Theory is at the top of the pile, the characters are believable and endearing. I am left wondering if Physicists are really like Sheldon? my eldest son who is a theoretical physicist at Manchester University assures me that most are not, but that does leave room for one or two who are in reality like Sheldon.
Most buying this set will be fans of the series, just finished its run on E4, however if you are new to it then you are in for a real treat. As much as I like many US comedies this is the first one I have ever thought worthy enough to buy. It now sits alongside my boxed sets of Dad's Army and Father Ted and it is not out of place.

One of the best comedy's since everybody loves Raymond, I can't get enough, for once something that's actually funny while being smart at the same time, there's not alot I can say about it that's not already been said, but if you haven't seen it, its worth a watch even to just see Jim Parsons (Sheldon)the funniest man I have ever watched.

Big Bang Theory - hilarious comedy. Both my wife and I can watch it over and over again and still laugh out loud. Particularly Sheldon who is such a great character yet we both have known/worked with people with his "special needs".
I don't think any of the jokes are too high brow, I am a physics graduate but my wife's not and she has found it just as funny, maybe more so as it was her request for the box-set. Maybe she sees similarities with Leonard/Penny and us................
Sheldon - neurotic, OCD, autistic, theoretical physicist shares a flat with his colleague Leonard when a gorgeous waitress called Penny moves in over the hall and Leonard is smitten. Their friends Howard, a female obsessed Jewish aerospace engineer, and Rajesh, an Indian Astrophysicist who cannot talk to women unless drunk, often are round for "Halo" nights and comic-book-store excursions.
There are many minor characters and in the later series Howard and Sheldon actually get partners and Rajesh's sister becomes pivotal.
This box set is great value for money as though the individual episodes are about 25 minutes long, there are a total of 87 episodes in this set! 17 in the first series, 24 in the second and 23 in the third and fourth.
Highly recommended - 5 stars, you'll love all the characters and sympathise with Penny!
