The Big Bang Theory - Season 1
The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom fixated on five characters living in Pasadena, California: Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are both splendid physicists working at Caltech in Pasadena, Penny, a pretty lady and a yearning performing artist initially from Omaha, and Leonard and Sheldon's similarly nerdy and socially unbalanced companions and colleagues.

Just as The Class was dreadful from the start, so too is The Big Bang Theory, precisely the kind of coyly predictable hackery one expects from traditional sitcoms.

If predictable gags and a disciplinary laugh track are what you like, The Big Bang Theory is your show.

The show might even have been engaging, if the one-liners came less frequently and the characters had a little more dimension.

Comedy needs help, and maybe the sweet, goofy Big Bang Theory can evolve into a sharper show.

It's hard to believe that anyone's even making a three-camera sitcom this mothballed.

It wasn't like the storyline was remotely funny enough to justify that stupidity.

The writing in this episode was some of the best we've seen in a standard sitcom in some time - it's very smart.

Lorre and series co-creator Bill Prady have peppered The Big Bang Theory with some witty lines, and Galecki and Parsons - playing winning variations on, respectively, awkward and wordy - are enjoyable to watch.
