Big Bang Theory Renewed for Two Seasons

Now for those of you who celebrate complete nerdom and all things geek-chic, you’ll probably know that no show does this better than The Big Bang Theory. This show was introduced to me a few weeks ago by a good friend and quite honestly I’m addicted.

The show revolves around four uber-geeks in their mid-to-late twenties living in Pasadena, California. Two in particular are Caltech prodigies, one an experimental physicist (Leonard) and the other a theoretical physicist (Sheldon) as well as their two equally geeky friends, Howard and Rajesh. Added to the mix is Penny, an attractive girl trying to make it in Hollywood as an aspiring actress but in the meantime spends her days as a waitress trying to make ends meet.

The show premiered in the fall of 2007 and was co-produced by Chuck Lorre, famous for his show Two and a Half Men, which also runs on CBS. The announcement came weeks ago much to everyone’s surprise as most shows in the midst of a recession are either getting cancelled or trimming their production budgets.

If you haven’t watched this show you are easily missing out on one of the funniest comedies to hit television since Arrested Development. I’m already up to season two and am thinking of getting the DVDs. Click here to view The Big Bang Theory on Amazon.
