One of the shows I’ve been enjoying a lot is The Big Bang Theory.

A new sitcom from America, it follows Leonard and Sheldon and their two friends Koothrappali and Wolowitz. Thing are complicated when an attractive girl, Penny, moves in next door, whom Leonard immediately falls for.

There’s a tendancy with these kinds of comedies to go for a really bad stereotype of geek, which tends to put me off. However this show has captured the characters really well. Each of the four main geeks is distinct, and I must admit that I do see characteristics from myself cropping up in the show (thankfully not from Sheldon). While it took a few episodes to settle in, its really hit its stride now, with episodes featuring Sheldon catching a cold, or Leonard winning the Time Machine (from the film of the same name) being incredibly funny.
