Watch the Big Bang Theory


I was in a hole for a few years. I had this rock on top of me that was hiding me from the greatness that is "Big Bang Theory." Where the heck was I and why was this rock blocking me from watching this show? Oh, I remember, it is because I don't watch a lot of actual TV. Yes, I watch a lot of shows, but it is online. So, if I don't hear about it and know about it being out there via the internet, I don't watch it. But, thankfully some good friends of ours kept telling me, "Sarah, you guys need to watch this." So, I took them up on it since they didn't steer me wrong with the British show, "The IT Crowd."


Jim Parsons does an amazing job portraying, Dr. Sheldon Cooper.  Who happens to be one of the best characters ever to grace the small screen, in my opinion. His idiosyncrasies and obsessiveness is endearing. I find myself having a crush on him. Which could be caused by the fact that he wears some pretty cool tee shirts. In fact in case you didn't know it, there is a website out there that has all of his tee shirts, where you can get them, and it even has Sheldon Cooper inspired shirts. It is called, Sheldon Shirts, and it is pretty funny.


The whole premise of the series is based around two theoretical physicists, Leonard and Sheldon, who are also roommates.  They have two other friends, another physicist and an engineer.  The four of them are the epitome of nerd and cute as Hades for it.  Sci-fi and all around geeks will enjoy the many cameos by some well known people.  For instance, the many done by Wil Wheaton and Katie Sackhoff.  There is also, Penny, a girl who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. She brings to the show a little bit of what most of the world considers normal.  But, the only part that bothers me about the series is how they always portray girls as not liking action figures or that they would rather see a guy who does like geeky stuff.  Not all girls are like that!  Sure, most of the female population is, but not all of them.  So, if anyone had been under a rock like I had been, have no fear, the past three seasons are available on DVD. :)
