First Impressions of "Big Bang" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

After one episode of "The Big Bang Theory," I am officially hooked! If "Beauty and the Geek" was a sitcom, this would be it! Plus, it's great to see Kaley Cuoco back in a sitcom since "8 Simple Rules" was cancelled in 2005.

I loved the pilot too. It's my feeling that the sitcom is back!

The pilot was enjoyable. Good to see Johnny Galecki back on TV again.

Kaley wasn't so bad to look at either.

I didn't laugh too much, but it wasn't awful.

I will continue to watch to give it a chance but if I was basing it on tonight, I would give it the axe.

The nerd characters use too many complicated words and I really don't see how anything else can happen in this series.

Kind of predictable and not even entertaining predictable (ex. Full House and Diff'rent Strokes were predictable but fun to watch)

I hope the show gets better because it would be nice if there was a new sitcom that was actually good....

I thought the pilot was pretty good. Hopefully it does well in the ratings. Cuoco didn't really have any funny lines but who cares, she looked great in that towel!

I liked the chemistry between Sheldon and Leonard, both of them were pretty funny. The other nerds were pretty funny as well, especially Wolowitz.

I have heard from several people that have seen the 2nd, 3rd and 4th episodes filmed that Kaley's character starts to develop and they give her more funny lines. You have to remember in the pilot they were just introducing the characters. Give it a few more episodes, I think Penny will be funny.

Personally, I love the show. It is hilarious.

i really enjoyed it .i thought it was very smartly written kaley was fun to watch and there also was real chemistry between the 2 male leads im sure looking forward to next week

Johnny Galecki was good, but I think Howard stole the show. He is my favorite character thus far. Very funny and enjoyable character.

Pavan · 09-25-2007, 12:24 AM

I think Jim Parsons has the best lines. He mentioned Battlestar Galactica (season 2 DVD...with commentary! lol), MySpace, etc.

I agree, if this show makes it big Jim Parsons will be the next big star. He is absolutely hilarious.

My favorite quote of the pilot:

(as they walk up the stairs after being pantsed)
Leonard: Sheldon, I am so sorry I dragged you through this.
Sheldon: It's okay. It wasn't my first pantsing, and it won't be my last.
Leonard: But you were right about my motives. I was hoping to establish a relationship with Penny that might have someday led to sex.
Sheldon: Well, you got me out of my pants.

AB · 09-25-2007, 09:00 AM

It was pretty good. I even laughed out loud a couple of times.

And there was also a Star Trek reference.

I agree 100%.

Sheldon is my favorite character, so far. He was great. I loved when Penny got up, and he jumped over to "his" seat.

Penny was a little vanilla, but I'm sure she'll get better lines as the show goes on (though I'm not holding my breath for the snappy dialogue Bridget Hennessey delivered).

In my opinion, Penny is nothing similar to Bridget. Penny is not a air-headed shallow high-schooler. Penny is like the college girl next door who you don't mind hanging out with every now and then.
