Product Description
Two roommates, both genius physicists, live in their own world with their friends until an attractive woman moves in across the hall and helps them se

Amazon.com
The delightful sitcom The Big Bang Theory revolves around a character type rarely seen on television: The alpha geek. Physicists Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) get their lives shaken up when an attractive young woman named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in to the apartment across from theirs. The key to the show, though, is not that they both fall haplessly in love--Leonard does, but Sheldon remains impermeably aloof and caustic about anything resembling romance or human relationships in general. While the push and pull of Leonard's yearning for Penny motivates much of the series' ongoing plot, the show's real drive comes from Sheldon's fantastic combination of obsessive-compulsive neurosis and grandiose obliviousness. He's a brilliant comic creation, imperious and dorky, a seamless collaboration of clever writing and an inspired performance by Parsons. Whether Sheldon loses his job for insulting his new boss, or finds his ego bruised by a child prodigy, or finds himself unable to bear being part of a lie that Leonard has told, he attacks the world with a relentless need to assert his supremacy--and the results are deeply funny.

The triumph of The Big Bang Theory is that everyone is written with genuine affection; what could have been a lifeless parade of stereotypes--Two Nerds and a Hot Chick--becomes instead a charming collision of cultures. The familiar stuff (computer games, comic books, social incompetence) has the grit of specificity; the show understands the difference between Halo and Halo 3, knows what the Bottle City of Kandor is, and grasps the infinite variety of ways in which a conversation can go terribly awry. (Penny gets less nuance, but Cuoco still gives her a distinctive personality.) Kudos as well to supporting players Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, who bring their own variations on geekiness to the table, and to great appearances by some of Galecki's former cohorts on Roseanne--Sara Gilbert as geekette Leslie and Laurie Metcalf as Sheldon's fundamentalist mother. All in all, one of the most winning sitcoms in years. --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars A fresh, wonderful series   September 4, 2010
Andrew Yao (Alexandria, VA United States)
THE SHOW ITSELF:
The show is great. You have one super genius by the name of Sheldon who's mal-adjusted socially which creates friction and humorous situations with his roommate Leonard and anyone else he talks to. Leonard is also socially awkward and inept in certain situations, but he fares much better off then Sheldon. Rajesh is astro-physicist who simply cannot talk to girls directly, by some pathological "defect" in his mind. Howard on the other hand is the engineer who could be considered a social opposite of Rajesh. He hits on women more than he should, and what's considered a disgusting manner to some of the ladies he meets does create humorous situations for the audience. Rajesh being Indian and Howard being Jewish also creates extra material as well. They're on the level, and the writers didn't overdo those types of jokes. The last of the major characters is Penny, the new apartment neighbor. She's nowhere near the same book smarts as the other four, but her being better socially adjusted and how conversations go with the other 4 characters is another source of entertainment.

As one would expect from the nature of the show, there is much in the way of references to geek pop culture as well. Sci-fi flicks such as Star Trek, Star Wars, The Time Machine, Planet Of The Apes, and Lord of the Rings; and comics such as Superman and the Flash are among some of them. Those are rounded out by actual references to science (Schrodinger's cat, Oppenheimer Theory, etc. )

In short, Sheldon's character is terrific, but everyone else also does their part in creating an hilarious TV show that's both entertaining and believable.



THE DVD ITSELF:
You get all 17 episodes of season 1. Oddly enough, the only spoken language available is English. Usually, French and Spanish are options, but I suppose it would've been too difficult to translate the 'geek speak' into those languages? What's also odd is there are also Asian languages available as part of the 7 different languages for closed captions. English, French, Spanish, Portugese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai.

There's also a special feature in where the show's creators talk about the details of putting the show into production. Some of it includes the original version of how the show was going to be and comments about the actual physicist they have on-call for all of the scientific references and its accuracy. Every one of the 5 main cast members also speak briefly about the characters they play. You also learn about what other shows/work the actors did previously, what they like about being in The Big Bang Theory, and how some of these characters relate to people known in real life (e.g. there's someone like Rajesh with that type of speech pathology!).

The box comes with an insert that lists all of the episodes as well as a brief description. There really isn't that much else in ways of material things or extra features, but at least the show is good, and they're all priced accordingly, compared to other TV series DVD box sets which are much more expensive, but some of them do feature more bonus material/episodes.



1 out of 5 stars Used DVD set a Big Bust, not a Big Bang   August 7, 2010

0 out of 6 found this review helpful

My husband and I love the Big Bang Theory, but we never saw the first season, so I decided to buy it. This was my first try at buying a used DVD- my husband said "They are not subject to wear in use, so it should be fine."
The First Season set is three discs- the first two discs would show us most of the first episodes, then freeze or jump back to the menu. We only saw one or two episodes to the end. The third disc would not "Load" properly and displayed only error messages. Disc 1 had some visible marks, so we tried to clean it, but it did not help.
Through Amazon, I sent an e-mail to the seller "The Hills" on July 28, explaining the problems and asking for a refund. That was 10 days ago, with no reply from the seller.
I am upset with the seller and will probably never buy used DVD's again.

The Big Bang Theory Is perfect for all of Geeks, nerds, dorks and norks out there. Lots of inside jokes that they careful put in so that they are funny for everyone. Thank you for making this show.

The disc that was received played well and came in a timely fashion, but looked to be burnt and the cover appeared to be a home print job. Possibly bootlegged, but item was listed as original disc.


5 out of 5 stars New favorite! :)   July 12, 2010
Rachel (North Carolina, USA)
I spent almost all of my Easter vacation watching this show with my cousin. I love it. The actors are very funny and the situations would probably never work on any other show. Arrived quickly. The only problem I had was that the DVD automatically turns on subtitles when I play it. Small price to pay for the epicness of this show :)
