Big Bang Theory: Disc 2

by Doug

After my second disc of the Big Bang Theory, I realized my original assumption was correct. This is about a group that is (for some odd reason) humoring and babying an eccentric genius (Sheldon). Leonard then translates and filters as much as possible so that this eccentric genius doesn’t get beat up by almost every other character on the show. Add a hot girl who isn’t interested in anything intellectual as the yin to their nerd yang, and you have a great sit-com. Once you get that initial premise all you need to do is put Sheldon in different situations where he is going to lose his OCD mind and enjoy. I can already see the endless possibilities..and I look forward to them all.

Also I realize there is no longer a need for my disc-by-disc review knowing this is probably a complete summary. If anything unexpected or really interesting comes up, I’ll be sure to write something about it.

Big Bang Disc 1 Review

by Doug

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m catching up on a part of my life where I’ve apparently been negligent, by watching the Big Bang Theory. After the first episode my original thoughts were confirmed: Jim Parsons is the star and the reason for this show. His character Sheldon is the über nerd overlord of the universe. Lacking in all things masculine and social, while mastering all things geek. Every single situation that the group runs into makes you ask “What is Sheldon going to think of this?”

I’m not overly impressed with development of the lesser roles so far. But my guess is as the seasons roll on I’ll get to know and love Raj more than I know and love my own kids. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Big Bang Begins

by Doug

While enjoying all the ironic and witty humor of “the Muppets” movie. There was a scene where Jim Parsons (Sheldon from “the Big Bang Theory”) is there and doesn’t really say or do anything funny. However, the crowd seemed to erupt with laughter and excitement. It was like I was back in high school again, and everyone was laughing at something that wasn’t seemingly funny. So I did the same thing I did in high school, I laughed along with them and acted like I knew what was funny.

Since then I’ve noticed that most of my friends really like “the Big Bang Theory” and I’ve never even seen an episode. So I figured I’d start today, and document my interest as it evolves through the first couple seasons. I have expectations of laughter and geeky inside smart jokes that make me feel at home with the cast. But mostly I want to experience what everyone else did during the mirror scene with Walter.
