The Big Bang Theory Season 6 Episode 14 The Cooper/Kripke Inversion I have seen a few episodes of the new CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory
and to me it's one of the best written sitcoms currently on network TV.
The scripts are filled with scientific references some people might not
understand but they are very witty. Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons are
definitely one of TV's newest comedy teams who have great chemistry and
the addition of Kaley Cuoco as their neighbor, Penny brightens up the
show. Let's not overlook the supporting cast with Simon Helberg as
Wolowitz, who looks a little like Paul Reubens, the man behind Pee-Wee
Herman and Kunal Nayyar as their friend from India.
If you watch the closing credits closely, you'll notice that there's a credit saying "Science Consultant." It's the first sitcom to employ one. It was a very good idea by the show's creator Chuck Lorre, who also is behind the CBS hit Two and a Half Men to hire one to bring scientific honesty into the show.
Definitely slated to be the best sitcom of this season, this is a creative and funny show. Two geeks have a beautiful girl (Penny) move to the apartment next door. The two geeks have two friends that are even geekier. Here is the many ways in which this show excels: the geeks are lovable and funny and human, not pathetic, you feel for them, the neighbor girl is a very sweet girl, and for once the characters are educated and thoughtful, not the usual "dumb" people we see on TV. The dynamics and the dialog between the four friends is fast paced, funny and rich with detailed observations. This is a comedy by Chuck Lorre, the guy who has created Dharma (from Dharma & Greg) so I am fully expecting Penny's character to bloom into far more than what meets the eye. The four male leads establish their personalities in the pilot with such ease that it's clear we are watching a very well written and well acted show. Kudos to the whole cast and the writers. I hope this funny, smart show stays around. We need a comedy with wit and heart, and for a change - lovable geeky brains too.
