TV rec: The Big bang Theory
Lately, I've been watching this really awesome show, The Big Bang Theory. It's a comedy about four friends, physics and engineering geeks, who have their perfect little world of toys and comic books, when a beautiful girl transfers next door. I find it awesome mainly because the show does not shy on telling really geeky jokes and not dumbing them down for mass consumption. (Engineering jokes! String theory jokes! I mean, come on. I am so in love.) As a scientist myself, hearing jokes I usually just throw around in the lab in an actual TV series just fills me with GLEE. Also, I love that the girl next door is a really nice, smart girl who genuinely likes these guys and that the 'romance' is not really pushed onto the viewers as much.
Watching this series makes me feel so cool haha.
My favorite character in this of course is the resident sarcastic genius who thinks he's superior to other people. He also has a really nosy but totally hot sister, a child prodigy, built a "sonic death ray" in primary school and plays the piano excellently.
Sounds familiar? I love you, Sheldon Cooper or should I say Rodney McKay: The Caltech Years!
P.S. I totally want to get a PhD in Mechanical Engineering now haha. *waits anxiously for episode 16*
P.P.S. Check out the character descriptions, particularly Sheldon's.
