Now I did say September would be the month of television, mainly because a lot of my favourite shows begin around this time and I will begin with my favourite comedy, The Big Bang Theory! For those out of this nerdy loop I will briefly explain.
Basically, the show follows 4 very nerdy guys when 2 of them get a attractive new neighbour called Penny and things go on from there, such as Physics Bowls, Arctic expeditions, Bowling, 21 seconds of Indiana Jones and Fruit Loops. I have loved this show since episode one, why I love it is because I myself am a bit of a geek, even more so after 5 years of this show, and it speaks to me more than other sitcoms, there are many great sitcoms, which I will talk about over this month, but this is my sitcom.
The show has changed a lot since take-out on the couch, there have been new characters, Amy Ferrah Fowler comes to mind as she's probably the new one most people like, she's been nominated for an Emmy and only Jim Parsons gets nominated for Emmys. The Penny-Leonard Relationship has also evolved too, they are now in a Beta-test stage, which I think all relationships should have by the way! When the show started I thought it'd be great if Leonard and Penny got together, but now I'm not sure. Being a sitcom nerd, I know it'll happen, but if it were me, I'd bring another female into the mix and let Leonard really decide between her and Penny and maybe Penny would try harder to be with Leonard, not that I've given it much thought! One character whose changed the most is Howard Wolowitz, the sex-crazed bright shirt wearing Jewish guy who lives with his mother is, at times, my second favourite character. He has now changed into Mr. Committed now he's married to Bernadette, one of my favourite episodes is where she learns about his seedy past and the speech he gives to Penny is one of the sweetest things ever heard on television.
Finally I must dedicate this part of the post to Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper. Possibly the best comedy character ever created. What I think people love about him is his uniqueness, there is no one like him on a sitcom today, you have your Charlie Harpers and your Barney Stinsons, but Sheldon is a very rare thing and he intrigues people in a way you want to see how he sees the world. Jim Parsons has played Sheldon for 5 years and has gained a loyal fanbase, critical acclaim and a number of awards and may it forever continue!
Thus begin-eth the month of TV!!
