If you haven’t heard of the newest sitcom phenomenon since Friends then you must be living under a rock. The Big Bang Theory is literally the nerdiest show on television.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali, Mr. Howard Wolowitz, Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz, Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, and Penny are back and better than ever in the show’s seventh consecutive season.

So far, it seems that the show is going with a more dramatic take on the characters than it has before, while having laughs aplenty. In a recent episode Penny finally gets a role in the hit TV show NCIS, but her part is cut out. As a viewer it was probably the saddest episode yet, however it still provided plenty laughs as Sheldon tries to devise a theory for humor.

New episodes of The Big Bang Theory air weekly Monday mornings at 3.

Bazinga!

It really airs Thursday nights at 8 on CBS.
