Amazon.co.uk Review The delightful sitcom The Big Bang Theory revolves around a character type rarely seen on television: the alpha geek. Physicists Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) get their lives shaken up when an attractive young woman named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in to the apartment across from theirs. The key to the show, though, is not that they both fall haplessly in love--Leonard does, but Sheldon remains impermeably aloof and caustic about anything resembling romance or human relationships in general. While the push and pull of Leonard's yearning for Penny motivates much of the series' ongoing plot, the show's real drive comes from Sheldon's fantastic combination of obsessive-compulsive neurosis and grandiose obliviousness. He's a brilliant comic creation, imperious and dorky, a seamless collaboration of clever writing and an inspired performance by Parsons. Whether Sheldon loses his job for insulting his new boss, or finds his ego bruised by a child prodigy, or finds himself unable to bear being part of a lie that Leonard has told, he attacks the world with a relentless need to assert his supremacy--and the results are deeply funny. The triumph of The Big Bang Theory is that everyone is written with genuine affection. What could have been a lifeless parade of stereotypes becomes instead a charming collision of cultures. The familiar stuff (computer games, comic books, social incompetence) has the grit of specificity. The show understands the difference between Halo and Halo 3, knows what the Bottle City of Kandor is, and grasps the infinite variety of ways in which a conversation can go terribly awry. Kudos as well to supporting players Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, who bring their own variations on geekiness to the table, and to great appearances by some of Galecki's former cohorts on Roseanne: Sara Gilbert as geekette Leslie and Laurie Metcalf as Sheldon's fundamentalist mother. All in all, one of the most winning sitcoms in years. --Bret Fetzer

WOW! July 28, 2010 This is without a dobut the best comedy show on the televison. Every episode is guaranteed to make you laugh. I cant even describe how funny it. Just but it!
The Big Bang Theory - Season 1 is brilliant July 20, 2010 Mrs. Kay B. Shields (Hull) Have watched The Big Bang Theory on TV but missed some of the first series. It has been great catching up!
LOVE IT!!!!!!! July 12, 2010 James BEST SHOW EVER, LOVE THE DVD, GREAT CAST, GREAT ITEM, FAST DELIVERY, WELL PACKED, THANKS, BIG BANG!!!
'We made the pyramids!' July 9, 2010 Tohru (DEVON!! ooh arr!) Right. First things first. I'm a geek. So, Big Bang Theory? My idea of heaven in a TV Show.
This is probably the best thing to come out of America, apart from Spam...
What makes it so brilliant? It's funny. And not stupid, slapstick or dumbass funny. It's clever funny.
Sheldon has me in stitches every time. Funny, funny, man. Lol.
The series has romance, EPIC humour and a fab storyline.
I can't wait to watch the second series. ^^
Funnest American sitcom since Friends July 4, 2010 Mr. G. Bridgeman-clarke (Rayleigh UK) I just love the idea behind this sit-com. 4 scientists who are still of a type who love comics and have never grown up. They are timid in front of women, can't figure our simple instructions but can explain atomic theory. add to it a beautiful girl across the hall which works in a cheese cake factory and you have a very funny half hour of humour.
To get the most from the sit-com you should start with episode 1, series 1. I came across Series 3 first on Sky and it took a few episodes to understand what was what so to speak. Sheldon is a great character and I can see him having his own series.
Watch it from the start and you will, like me, never want to miss an episode.
Now where can I buy those great t-shirts Sheldon wears.
