THE BIG BANG THEORY is the story of two brainy best friends who could tell you anything you want to know about quantum physics – but when it comes to dealing with everyday life here on Earth, they're lost in the cosmos. Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) are brilliant physicists, the kind of "beautiful minds" that understand how the universe works. But none of that genius helps them interact with people – especially women.

All this changes when a free-spirited beauty named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard's roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow Caltech scientists Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar). Leonard, however, sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities...including love.
