The most groan-worthy aspect of the very first episode of The Big Bang Theory was the immediate (and inevitably unrequited) crush of sweet, nerdy physicist Leonard (Johnny Galecki) on new neighbor Penny (Cuoco), a waitress / aspiring actress / air-headed blonde. But series creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady were smart enough to play against stereotype by allowing the relationship to quickly implode once they dated and Penny's insecurities started to be revealed. The second season has been a series of triumphs for the young actress, as Penny became obsessed with online gaming, reached detente with Sheldon (Jim Parsons), and proved to herself that she has more resilience and depth than she realized. I'd love to see how she translates to the big screen.
