Mensa-fied best friends and roommates Leonard and Sheldon, physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology, may be able to tell everybody more than they want to know about quantum physics, but getting through most basic social situations, especially ones involving women, totally baffles them. How lucky, then, that babe-alicious waitress/aspiring actress Penny moves in next door. Frequently seen hanging out with Leonard and Sheldon are friends and fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali. Will worlds collide? Does Einstein theorize in the woods?

June Thomas Slate I hope things settle down soon, because so far this season, it's all been a bit of a bummer. Sep 30, 2013 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News It's not only growing, but soaring. Sep 30, 2013 Full Review Oliver Sava AV Club Hopefully, once the entire ensemble is reunited again, this show will get moving. Rated: B Sep 27, 2012 Full Review J.D. Shrader What Culture The writers do a decent job of pushing the main storylines forward. Sep 30, 2013 Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies The entire episode was pretty much predicated on two jokes... But those two jokes had enough mileage in them to last a full 22 minutes. Rated: 8.4/10 Sep 27, 2012 Full Review Jim Garner TV Fanatic Why does it feel like Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady missed the mark? Rated: 3.6/5 Sep 27, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
