Of course, nerds, geeks, dorks, techies, and intellectuals of all advanced-degree descriptions deserve love and affection—if only their lips could form the monosyllables, “Will you go out with me?” CBS’s hit “The Big Bang Theory” explores this and other mysteries of the universe, putting a lab-coated coterie of Cal-Tech scientists directly across the hall from Penny, premier Pasadena waitress and aspiring actress. “The Big Bang Thoery” proves once again that excruciating self-consciousness and social ineptitude, unfortunately, are always funny; and GED holders may derive extra satisfaction from Penny’s frequent mastery of difficult situations on the strength of common sense and hard experience. In its first seasons, “The Big Bang Theory” looked frighteningly like “My Boys” minus Wrigley Field, but the characters and show have evolved, and individual actors and actresses have put their distinctive stamps on their roles. Especially Kaylee Cuoco has found the right balance between ingenuousness and homegrown girl power in her portrayal of Penny.
Audiences have noticed, giving “The Big Bang Theory” their nod for a People’s Choice Award in 2010. At the 2011 Golden Globe Awards, relatively unheralded, deliciously diffident Jim Parsons took home a handsome statuette for his performance as physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper, an immensely lovable uber-nerd supreme. And in January, 2011, giving “The Big Bang Theory” the ultimate vote of confidence, CBS extended the show’s contract for another three seasons.
