As you can tell from my mention in a previous post<\/a>, I\u2019m a fan of the television show \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d. In my amateur opinion, the back to back airings of \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d followed by \u201cHow I Met Your Mother\u201d is one of the finest hours of comedy television American audiences have had access to in a very long time. My husband, a fan of unique storytelling techniques favors \u201cHow I Met Your Mother\u201d slightly more. On the other hand, being a fan of geeks, I like \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d a touch more than \u201cHow I Met Your Mother\u201d. However, before I continue let me stress that you shouldn\u2019t really watch one and not the other. As a package set, they cannot be beat. That said, allow me to indulge and share some fun stuff involving \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d, including some help with holiday shopping (hint, hint).<\/p>\n

The show has a small ensemble of characters: Leonard Leakey Hofstadter, Ph.D., Sheldon Cooper, Ph.D., Howard Wolowitz, M.Eng., Rajesh Koothrappali, Ph.D., and Penny. The show focuses on Leonard and Sheldon, who are super intelligent and roommates, and Penny, the beautiful blond woman who lives across the hall. Penny is supposed to be the everyman, in other words, not a genius like the other characters, but possessing things like social skills and common sense. Of course, she has a halfway decent apartment in California on a waitress\u2019s pay, so I think she\u2019s way smarter than anyone on the show will give her credit for. Here\u2019s a taste of what we\u2019re talking about:<\/p>\n
