DVD Reviews of The Big Bang Theory - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: The Big Bang Theory - The Complete First Season
Summary: 4 Stars

This set is cool, but I was expecting better though. No individual cases (just one with the 3 discs), and there's no bonus material except a 15 minutes documentary.

Anyway, the show really deserves to be watched, it's really incredible! It's funny, smart, original and the cast is just great. Plus, the price is ok, so you can buy with confidence.

DVD Review: Comic genius
Summary: 5 Stars

Not since the days of Seinfeld and Arrested Development have I laughed this hard and long over a sitcom. The Big Bang Theory is a spectacularly written show and the chemistry between the characters is absolutely hilarious. I was so happy to hear that it had been signed for 2 more seasons. I cannot get enough.

DVD Review: Guarenteed to Laugh out Loud!
Summary: 5 Stars

This show is by far one of the best shows on TV! There's not a single episode that doesn't make me laugh out loud at least once, usually several times and often uncontrollably. I could watch them over and over and they're just as funny every time! Even purchased this a Christmas gift for a friend and she loves it as much as I do. I'm equally enjoying the 2nd season and look forward to being able to buy it as well. I hope this show is around for many years to come!

DVD Review: my absolute favorite
Summary: 5 Stars

The thing that endears me to this show is that I have known guys just exactly like the ones depicted here. The writers must have too for they have the characters down flawlessly. Sheldon is, of course, my favorite and I want so much to be annoyed by him but I just can't, you have to love him. That, I think, is the whole appeal of the show. You want to be annoyed by these guys but you cant. All you can do is sit and watch and laugh out loud. In a time when there is so much stupid comedy, this is intelligent writing. I hope it has a long run and I will definitely be watching every episode.

DVD Review: A Very Funny Show
Summary: 5 Stars

Jim Parsons steals the show in this Chuck Lorrie comedy. His character of Sheldon is one of the most out of touch people you will every meet. Sheldon lives in his own little world of being the smartest man in the world who simply can't understand why other people aren't as smart as he is nor does he care to try and lower himself so he can understand.

The rest of the cast is also great and only improve what Parsons does with Sheldon.

There are endless references to science fiction movies, books and comics and anyone who loves these mediums will enjoy this show.

If you are not into Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or comic books, you might not enjoy this show. But if you like any of these items even a little bit, you will love this show.

Description of The Big Bang Theory - The Complete First Season

University physicists Leonard and Sheldon know whether to use an integral or a differential to solve the area under a curve. But they don't have a clue about girls. Or dating. Or clothes. Or parties. Or having fun. Or, basically, life. So when a pretty blonde named Penny moves in the apartment across the hall, the guys decide to get an education outside of the classroom. Boys, you have a lot to learn. With series creators Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men) and Bill Prady (The Gilmore Girls) concocting the right mix of logic and lunacy and stars Johnny Galecki (Roseanne) and Jim Parsons (Judging Amy) turning geekdom into Phi Beta fun, The Big Bang Theory is big on laughs. And life.

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--Two Nerds and a Hot Chick--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. (Penny gets less nuance, but Cuoco still gives her a distinctive personality.) 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
