I don't think I'd open up a series, of any kind, with your two lead characters (Sheldon and Leonard) being in a sperm bank ... regardless if it's a High IQ Sperm Bank. Sheldon (Jim Parsons)'s DC Comic's Flash T-Shirt is awesome. However, Sheldon was going on and on about some scientific theorem of some sort, Leonard (Johnny Galecki) said no one would go for it, and Sheldon said really because I think it would make a really cool t-shirt design. Uh, how big is this person supposed to be, anyhow?

Leonard, Sheldon's right, when inviting someone over, especially the new cute neighbor girl (Penny - Kaley Cuoco), for something to consume - let's leave out references to bowel movements altogether. And since when did those boots that Penny is wearing become cool, they look like Eskimo wear for the love of God.

Yeah, Sheldon the absolute insane need to sit in one particular spot is quite scary indeed. But not nearly as scary as those Quantum Physics boards you both have all over your apartment. Hey look, cute girl goes and takes a shower and look - all the friends, all 2 of them, show up.

Penny asks Sheldon and Leonard if they would go to her ex-boyfriend's apartment to get her TV back. They should've known the ex-boyfriend was a bully. Then, again they should've never agreed to go over there by themselves to retrieve the TV. Serves them right for getting pantsed. And no Leonard you don't deserve Penny, so go clean up your drool-vested apartment and let Sheldon have her.

I'll watch it until it's cancelled.
