The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom broadcasted on CBS and is in it’s 5th Season. The story is about four eccentric men who are brilliant scientists and the woman who lives next door.

Leonard Hofstadter, who is an experimental physicist, is the most normal person among the four eccentric men. So he is the bridge between the rest of them and the world.

He fell in love at first sight with Penny, the woman across the hall. He goes out with her in a couple of years.

Sheldon Cooper is a theoretical physicist and Leonard’s roommate. He surprisingly has five doctoral degrees and is very proud of his high intelligence.

He has various eccentric behaviors with extreme individualism and mysophobia. He always shows off his knowledge and is arrogant and rude but he is not perfect in every aspect.

Howard Wolowitz is Jewish and he lives with his mother. He is a lanky man who sticks to wearing skinny jeans and turtlenecks, and tries to hit on a girl in any situation. He is the only one who has a master's degree among them and works as an engineer.

Rajesh Koothrappali was born with a silver spoon in his mouth in India. He has elective mutism so he can’t talk in front of women. However, when he drinks alcohol he is masterful at talking to women.

Penny, who is dreaming of becoming an actress, is a beautiful blonde and a neighbour with Leonard and Sheldon. She now is working at the Cheese Cake Factory to cover her costs of living.

Thought she puts out an air of ingenuous beauty when she talks with those guys, she is very kind and understanding towards them.

This sitcom gives us a loud laugh because of each character’s peculiar faces, habits, and behaviors. Besides, they all lack in some aspects so they gain sympathy.
