TBBT - Hoping for Season II

The Big Bang Theory is an American Sitcom premiered on CBS on September 24,2007. About 17 episodes of the first season has been premiered till May 19,2008.It has got a good response from the viewers with an average of 8 million people.I have become a big fan of this The Big Bang Theory.The story revolves around two uber-nerd roommates Dr.Leonard Leakley Hofstadter,PhD and Dr.Sheldon Cooper,PhD living across the hallway from a dumb blonde girl named Penny.They both live in an apartment building,in which the elevator always seems to be out of order.He keeps a white board in their living room on which he works on experimental physics.Leonard is proficient in and literature and history and he can solve crosswords in seconds.He used to tell the combined IQ of his and Sheldon to be 360.To prove his nerd status,he uses some Star Wars products.While Sheldon's genius seems to be focused primarily in math and science.He is holder of a Master Degree and 2 PhDs.His current area of research is String Theory.He's a theorectical physicist and he does a lot of experiments and it all ends dead end.He has a scientific explanation for everything. At age 14, he worked in lasers and this resulted in his being sent to boarding school; it is heavily implied in a CBS promotional clip that the government took Sheldon's laser away and hushed the college professor who witnessed the experiment.

Penny is Leonard and Sheldon's new neighbor across the hallway and is, as described by Wolowitz, a cheesecake-scented goddess.This description is true because she is a waitress at the cheesecake Factory. She is also writing a story about girl from Lincoln who travels to Los Angeles to become an actress but wends up working in a cheesecake Factory. She first meets their friends Wolowitz and Rajesh when she comes out of the shower in nothing but a towel. She's either ignorant of or all too aware of her effect on the boys, because within minutes of meeting them, she asks Leonard to retrieve her television set from her ex-boyfriend's apartment, which he immediately sets out to do. Whenever Penny goes on a rebound relationship, she picks up an attractive man and then has 36 hours of meaningless sex over the course of a weekend; afterward, the relationship deteriorates. She is better at the video game Halo.

Howard Wolowitz is an engineer at Caltech's Department of Applied Physics who often hangs out at Leonard and Sheldon's apartment.He designed a satellite that is currently orbiting a moon of Jupiter taking high-res photos.He could speak six foreign languages which includes French, Mandarin, Russian, Arabic and Farsi.Wolowitz has a photo on his Facebook page captioned "Me and My Girlfriend", which depicts Penny sleeping on Wolowitz's shoulder during the fight between Leonard and Sheldon at the conference. Howard unlike Sheldon and Leonard doesn't have a Ph.D.However, he likes pointing out that he has a master's degree in engineering. Rajesh Koothrappali is Wolowitz's best friend and yet another genius. His area of expertise is astrophysics.He approaches women in the exact opposite way of Wolowitz: he is so shy that he is unable to speak to them. More often he just remains silent before any attractive women.

Leonard: Are you sure you are not doing this just because of all the alcohol you just had?
Penny: You might be right. Leonard, you are so smart.
Leonard: [sarcastic] Yeah, I am a friggin' genius.
Penny: Why can't all guys be like you?
Leonard: If everyone were like me the human race wouldn't be able to survive.
