Check Out: The Big Bang Theory

Physicists Leonard and Sheldon understand everything from the inescapable gravitational pull of a black hole to the intricate structure of the atom. But take those atoms and assemble them into a woman, and their comprehension comes to a grinding halt. And when Penny, a women with all those atoms in all the right places, moves in across the hall, Leonard and Sheldon's universe beings to expand in ways they never could have imagined.

After stumbling upon an episode of this hilarious sitcom, I was hooked. The main characters all have their own unique quirks. Sheldon perfectly understands physics but can't understand social interactions. Leonard craves Penny's love and attention but can't seem to put away his love for comic books and video games. Howard considers himself a "ladies' man" even though he still lives with his mother. And Raj can't speak to women unless he's drunk. Combine this band of geeks with a loving yet ditsy girl named Penny, and hilarity ensues.

Also, it doesn't hurt that the theme song was written and performed by The Barenaked Ladies (a personal favourite of mine).



The Big Bang Theory is currently on their third season. It airs Mondays at 9:30pm on CBS. Here's a sneak peek of the first episode of Season 1. Go ahead, click it; you won't regret it!
