About The Big Bang Theory
Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) are brilliant physicists, the kind of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works. But, none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyer). However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities ... including love.

Throughout its impressive run, The Big Bang Theory was nominated for an astonishing 55 Emmy®?Awards?and won 10.
