The Big Bang Theory

About the Show

September 2011


THE BIG BANG THEORY


Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists – wizards in the laboratory, but socially inept outside of it.  Enter beautiful, free-spirited neighbor, Penny, who aims to teach them a thing or two about life.  While Leonard spends his days looking for love, Sheldon is quite content video-chatting with platonic partner Amy Farrah Fowler, or playing Star Trek 3D Chess with their ever-expanding universe of friends, including fellow scientists Koothrappali and Wolowitz, and Wolowitz’ fiancée, the adorable microbiologist, Bernadette.
