Storyline

Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are both brilliant physicists working at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California. They are colleagues, best friends, and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented, deeply eccentric, and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their Cal Tech colleagues mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science-fiction movies, or reading comic books. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with popular women. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from Omaha, moves into the apartment next to Leonard and Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny to be his girlfriend.

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In the opening credits, when it shows the cast eating Chinese food, the half-cut cardboard box shows the name, Kart-Out, with a 1-800 number. A visible marker is used over the real brand name, Kari Out, with a 800 number. The shot has been slightly changed after a couple of episodes. See more »

Crazy Credits

One of the final cards to appear in the credit sequence is for "Chuck Lorre Productions". In keeping with his practice on "Dharma and Greg" and "Two and a Half Men", there is a different message on the credit each week, written by Chuck Lorre himself. See more »
