The show we are writing about is The Big Bang Theory. This show is a hilarious comedy about 4 geeky scientists who don’t really have a life, until a new girl named Penny moves in across the hall. After that all their lives start to change. Once they finally get the guts to talk to her, they find out she is a very outgoing, funny, loving girl. The only problem they have with her is that she’s is not the brightest person, while they are. Even though they make fun of her a lot, that’s what makes the show what it is. The show then goes on about their new life with her and how much she really impacted them. The show is important because every week the audience is around 18 million mark, and also its a sitcom.

Also, Sheldon says the word bazinga a lot so fans of the show have put the word bazinga on t-shirts and many other things. Bazinga was originated when the writer of the show (Stephen Engel) would play practical jokes and he would say bazinga! Engel used it as a way to say gotcha! after people would fall for jokes. In the first episode of season one Sheldon and Leonard make a science experiment and through it in the elevator and blew up the elevator and it has never been fixed so if you watch the show, you will notice they always take the stairs. Another fact is that Sheldon has a spot on the couch and is very sensitive about it and always talks about why he loves it so much and why it’s so important. Also he’s kind of weird about it ( like most things) and he doesn't let anyone else sit in “his spot”. Another interesting fact is that Sheldon and his friends always go to this comic book store where

    As I watch the episodes back I still laugh: however, I cannot help but to realize how the women, in particular Penny and Amy, are characterized throughout each episode. For those who are not familiar, The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. Aired on CBS, this comedy is about how four geeky, socially awkward guys interact with the world outside their laboratories. The four main male characters are Sheldon Cooper (physicist), Leonard Hofstadter (physicist), Howard Wolowitz (aerospace engineer), and Raj Koothrappali (astrophysicist). Penny, on the other hand, started the series being a waitress and a want-to-be actress.…

    The Multiverse Theory is one of the most talked about theories in the modern age. It entails how there is a chance that we are not the only universe in existence but rather there are tens of thousands of other universes. This leaves all kinds of possibilities to the imagination; maybe someone was born with red hair rather than blonde, maybe someone became president rather than a physics professor. There are an infinite number of possibilities which causes the Multiverse Theory to also be a heavily controversial topic. However, it is also just a theory and there is no definitive proof quite yet.…

    Sheldon is stereotyped as the intellectually nerdy, paranoid, nervous guy, who has OCD tendencies, such as sitting in the same spot on the couch, in every episode the couch is featured, or knocking three times, every time and by being socially inept. He is stereotyped in his role of being nerdy, by his “distaste for relationships as well as his deficits in social skills” (Winston 293). In fact, all of the male scientists in the show, are considered “nerds,” and according to Bednarek, “while geeks/nerds are frequently negatively evaluated, the term can be reclaimed by speakers, and geeks/ nerds are also associated with ‘economic fame and fortune” (204). Leonard, on the other hand, is classified as a nerd but has broken the stereotype, by getting the pretty girl across the hall to be his wife. Penny, is the all American girl, who is popular and pretty.…

    This is particularly important in concepts that involve past events, which cannot be tested. Take, for example, the Big Bang Theory or the Theory of Biological Evolution as it pertains to the past; both are theories that explain all of the facts so far gathered from the past, but cannot be verified as absolute truth, since we cannot go back to test them. More and more data will be gathered on each to either support or disprove them. The key force for change in a theory is, of course, the scientific method. A scientific law, said Karl Popper, the famous 20th century philosopher, is one that can be proved wrong, like “the sun always rises in the east.”…
