7. HISTORY OF THE PROGRAMME
Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists, the kind of "beautiful minds" that
• CBS understand how the universe works. But none of that genius helps them interact
with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited
beauty named Penny moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is
quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially
dysfunctional friends, fellow CalTech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali.
However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities...
including love.

9. REVIEW OF THE BIG BANG THEORY
Is it any good?
This fun, well-written series features an endearing cast who provide
viewers with lots of humorous moments. Leonard, Sheldon, and their
friends fully embrace their genius and recognize their social
shortcomings. They also understand the value of friendship, loyalty,
and staying true to themselves.
Still, while the show is definitely funny, its storylines about camaraderie
and romance aren't exactly original. It also promotes all of the
expected clichés about people in the sciences -- they have a passion
for sci-fi characters and can't sell a pick-up line to save their lives, etc. -
- and, in Penny, it sometimes puts forward the stereotypical "dumb
blonde" image (though women with brains and awkwardness to match
the guys' have been introduced as the series has progressed). But in
the end, this show is about a group of nice guys basically having fun
and looking for love.

10. ANALYSIS OF REVIEW
• The review itself is a positive
one, it describes the show being
fun, well written and a cast who
provide lots of humour. However
its storyline about camaraderie
and romance aren’t exactly
original however this is
outweighed by the shows overall
humour and popularity.
