First of all, let me start off with how great this theme song is:
"Our whole universe was in a hot dense state
then nearly foutreen billion years ago expansion started, wait...
The Earth began to cool,
the autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
we built the wall! (We built the pyramids!)
Math, science, history,
unraveling the mystery
that all started with a Big Bang!"
That's amazing.
And so is the show, so far.
Now, normally, I'm not to big a fan of shows focused towards only one genre. I'm more of a sci-fi action-adventure dramady-type dude. But this comedy-only stuff is actually funny.
Maybe it's because I am what I am: a geek, but a self-aware geek. I understand that, quite often enough, the stereotypes surrounding what I am and what I do are often correct, but this show shows that that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Sure, Penny doesn't have a clue about what they're saying, but that's actually good for a change. These people are friends and live the stable lives that they do because of their intelligence and their capacity for enjoying comic books, films, and video games.
Oh, and also, it's lines like these, simple but hilarious, that really make it:
Leonard (on the subject of Penny): "Our babies are going to be smart and beautiful."
Sheldon: "Not to mention imaginary."
You can't beat Sheldon. Or any of the rest of the gang for that matter.
Looking ahead further into The Big Bang Theory, which I assure you I'm going to be watching, it's a seriously daunting task. 8 seasons! 8 seasons! That's one more than Buffy!
But I will get through it, I tell you, I will! I have a feeling I'm going to be a fan of this show (or a theory, for that matter, heh heh), and no doubt I'll be sure to remember the day when it all started with a Big Bang.
Look for some more Batman related content in the future, and f*cking hopefully an Angel top ten.
See you soon!
