Big
Bang theory synopsis
Leonard
Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper are both brilliant physicists working
at Caltech in Pasadena, California. They are colleagues, best
friends, and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship
is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented, deeply eccentric,
and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their Caltech
colleagues mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist
Rajesh Koothrappali. The foursome spend their time working on their
individual work projects, playing video games, watching
science-fiction movies, or reading comic books. As they are
self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with popular women.
When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from
Omaha, moves into the apartment across the hall from Leonard and
Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get
Penny to be his girlfriend.
