"The Big Bang Theory" 1x1

THE BIG BANG THEORY 1x1 "Pilot"

Is This the High IQ Sperm Bank?
If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't be here.

I think it's cute how they named the lead characters after legendary TV producer Sheldon Leonard (plus "Sheldon" and "Leonard" are good geek first names). And watching this I think it's benefitted from the concentration of three camera talent. This was pretty good for a pilot.

I think in any sort of storytelling good characters are important, and I haven't seen people like this around, though some of the things they talk about hit a bit close to home... But its the little touches like, one of the guys has a belt made out of an old NES controller, and I first thing - oooh that's cool! then I catch myself and remember that these are the geeky guys.

But eh I run a TV blog, I'm not gonna throw stones in this glass house.
