    Love it too! Thought my geeky science research life helped, but I know very few people who don't like it! Converted the family too now.
    Can't wait for season 5!

    One of the best sitcom's ever imo - seriously.

    Can't ever remember a particularly weak episode, and if you 'get' the humour, you sometimes can be laughing the whole way through.

    Very rare that you get the majority of lead characters having great lines too, Sheldon is obvious but sometimes Howard's wit and sarcasm is hilarious.

    I agree that its a really funny program. Great characters and a good combination of high brow science jokes vs smutty humour.

    I think Penny's great too. She's funny and hot, but in a "real" way rather than the size zero, Barbie look most women on US shows seem to have.

    One thing that puzzles me somewhat. I've got a physics degree so get the majority of the science jokes, but I wonder whether a lot of the audience with a non-science background pick up on all the references?

    I've only seen some clips on Youtube where Sheldon and the crew make jokes about Apple Store geniuses but those clips alone are good :D Never watched a full episode though.

    Used to be one of my favorite shows, but season 4 was a complete disaster.

    Love the programme, although I see too much of myself in the geeky behaviour :o

    I don't think so.

    Not a natural blonde, don't think that's her original nose either and looks like filler in her lips.

    She's actually turned herself into a Barbie figure and it's worked for her 'cos she's on TV.

    She has always been the same since her 8 Simple Rules and Charmed days and she was only about 16/17 then.

    I love this show. Don't understand a word of the science but it is still very funny. It works because all the characters are so well defined. I even like the straight guy Leonard.

    Um.. Kaley Cuoco has had no surgery. She's looked that way for the last 10 years or so, only thing that has changed is her boobs have grown a bit since 8 Simple Rules... that's basically where she's grown up and stopped doing as many sports now she has a full time career as an actress and model.

    You are extremely judgmental but apparently not the plastic surgery assessor you'd like to imagine yourself to be. She is a natural blonde, although she has highlights so she is more bottle blonde than auburn. The only surgery she's had has been for her broken leg. So, yeah, nice try but no cigar.

    She hasn't turned herself into a Barbie figure at all, she's basically looked the way she has since she was 15 and is 25 now. You can even go back and see she looked very much the way she does now with darker hair as a kid in QuickSand: No Escape. But you, know, if you did that you'd have factual evidence to dispute your claims seemingly based on jealous lies you have created to suggest there is no way she could look the way she does naturally. Sorry, she didn't get hit with the ugly stick at any point and demeaning her attributes and claiming they are fake when they aren't just makes me think you are probably less attractive than she is and are just bitching for the sake of it.

    She's only 25 anyway, why would she need any surgery? She's been listed amongst the world's sexiest women for the last 4 years or so.

    It's routine for teenage girls to have nose jobs in the US, often for their 16th birthday and her breasts are too round and far apart to be natural.

    The other sister in 8 Simple Rules is what a natural teenage girl looks like.

    Not sure what season 4 you've been watching but the one I saw was pretty f'ing funny all the way through... I will say however that it did end oddly.

    The one where Blossom does a toe-curlingly terrible job at playing a female Sheldon, and where two other utterly useless supporting female cast members have been added to the mix, and where Sheldon has turned from charmingly odd to sometimes curiously psychotic, etc, etc... And that's saying nothing about the quality of the comedy itself, which is now at best SNL level. That's not a compliment, btw.

    A non-surgically enhanced young lady then.

    Blossom has been outstanding and Amy is a great character.

    Bernadette is a great match for Howard.

    I'll give you Preeya as useless, but she's not going to be in it for Long I don't think.

    Sheldon has always been curiously psychotic.

    Season 4 wasn't the strongest, but it was at it's best when all the characters were properly used, the last 4 or 5 episodes were back to top form, laugh out loud every couple of minutes like season 1 was 1st time round.

    A lot of people (mainly on the internet but also the Family Guy writers) seem to really hate this programme and don't think it's funny, it can be a bit repetitive and sure it's no Arrested Development but it's quite funny and entertaining so I don't know why it receives so much venom.

    The jokes are hilarious especially although some jokes (such as the dopler effect gag) not sure if all people would of understood it in that costume party- but they tried they best!

    The comedy is pure genius. The actors are now all getting large 6 figure sums per episode to show for its popularity,.
