Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think I have busted a gut watching a comedy series until watching "The Big Bang Theory". What a wonderful and hilarious series coming from the minds of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady.
The series is about two physicists Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) who live in an apartment together. One day, they get a new neighbor with Penny, a blonde and beautiful woman from Nebraska who has come to California for a better life but after a bad breakup, finds friendship with Leonard and his friends.
Joining Leonard and Sheldon are their two best friends Howard (Simon Helberg), a perverted and horny brainiac and Rajesh (Kunal Nayyar), another brainiac but has a problem with his inability to speak with beautiful girls.
What makes this comedy work so well are the character dynamics and each of their quirks. Especially the character of Sheldon who is just the most anal geek among the three but Parson's Sheldon just is incredible. Included in this season 1 box set are a total of 17 episodes.
1. Pilot - Penny moves into the building and Leonard who is smitten by her agrees to get back her TV from her muscle-bound ex.
2. The Big Bran Hypothesis - Leonard is addicted to cleanliness and organization and can't stand Penny's messy room, so he sneaks into her room during the early morning to organize her room.
3. The Fuzzy Boots Corollary - Leonard has a date with Penny but she doesn't know it's a date.
4. The Luminous Fish Effect - Sheldon gets fired from work and decides to stay at home, concocting experiments and annoying everyone.
5. The Hamburger Postulate - Leonard's not sure if he'll ever become Penny's boyfriend, so he and a fellow co-worker decide to have sex, while Sheldon doesn't know what to do when his roommate is having sex in their apartment.
6. The Middle Earth Paradigm - Penny's having a Halloween party and all the guys are invited including her ex who picks on Leonard.
7. The Dumpling Paradox - What happens when Howard gets lucky with Penny's friend?
8. The Grasshopper Experiment - Rajesh finds a way to get over his inability to speak to a woman but what happens when his parents plan an arranged marriage and he has to meet with this woman.
9. The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization - Leonard and Sheldon are invited to present their physics findings but instead leads to a fight between the two.
10. The Loobenfeld Decay - Sheldon can't tell a lie, so he puts Leonard in a odd situation.
11. The Pancake Batter Anomaly - Sheldon is sick and the guys start to panic and go in hiding, leaving Sheldon with Penny.
12. The Jerusalem Quality - A child prodigy comes to the campus and Sheldon is feeling threatened by him.
13. The Bat Jar Conjecture - It's time for the physics bowl team and Sheldon is the MVP.
14. The Nerdvana Ahhihilation - What happens when Leonard orders a (very large) time machine from a film.
15. The Pork Chop Indeterminacy - Sheldon's twin arrives and the guys fall for her.
16. The Peanut Reaction - It's Leonard's birthday but what happens when he and Wolowitz get an allergic reaction from eating peanuts.
17. The Tangerine Factor - Leonard and Penny go on their first date.
AUDIO AND VIDEO:
The audio is stereo and nothing major since the show is primarily all dialogue. As for the video, the earlier episodes has a bit of graininess to it. I thought maybe playing the disc on a Blu-ray player maybe showing a lot of noise but I checked the disc on another player and it seems that the first few episodes just had a bit of it. But fortunately, not all of it are like that. If anything, you see it moreso on the pilot.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
The DVD box set unfortunately doesn't have too many special features. Included is a featurette titled "Quantum Mechanics of The Big Bang Theory: A Behind-the-Scenes Look Into Geek Chic". The 20-minutes featurette features interviews with the creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady and also the cast.
What I found interesting about the featurette was learning how the show was created, how the actors were selected and the use of science in the show.
I've always wondered what would happen on television with a lot of the sitcoms now nearly all gone from television except on syndication. But I have to admit that Monday nights on CBS has become my favorite night thanks to "The Big Bang Theory" and "How I Met Your Mother".
I have to admit that "The Big Bang Theory" is just so enjoyable to me because of my enjoyment of super heroes, comic books, technology, video games, science, etc. Although these guys are more on the extremeness of geekiness, I can't help but love the show. It's absolutely one of the best sitcoms right now and for a comedy series, I don't think I have laughed so much since "Seinfeld".
You can find this season 1 set for a great price and I definitely recommend this TV series! Give it a try, you'll love it!
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.Bestsellers in DVD
