This is a list of episodes from The Big Bang Theory , an American comedy television series created and executive produced by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady.
The series is about two socially inept prodigies, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), who are living across the hall from a beautiful but average girl, Penny (Kaley Cuoco). When Leonard falls for Penny, Sheldon tries to discourage his interest because he believes his friend is chasing a dream he'll never catch.
With the exception of the pilot, the episode titles of The Big Bang Theory always start with " The ", reference a minor plot point in the episode, and resemble the title of a scientific principle.
Series overview
Season 1: 2007-08
Physicists Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper get their lives shaken up when an attractive young woman named Penny moves in to the apartment across the hall from theirs. Leonard begins to develop a love for Penny, while she puts up with his friends: Sheldon Cooper, who appears borderline obsessive-compulsive; Howard Wolowitz, a sex-crazed maniac; and Rajesh, who will not speak to her, as he is too shy to talk to girls. Throughout the season: Sheldon loses his job for insulting his new boss, finds his ego bruised by a child prodigy, and finds himself unable to bear being part of a lie that Leonard has told—always attacking the world with a relentless need to assert his supremacy; Rajesh learns that he can talk to girls only when he's drunk; and Penny and Leonard go out in the final episode.
Season 2: 2008-09
Season Two begins to deal with character development, including Sheldon becoming more and more obsessive, with a characteristic lack of understanding of irony and sarcasm reminiscent of Asperger syndrome. Leonard and Penny's relationship takes a turn for the worse when they break up, but quickly is resolved. Soon their relationship progresses into a stronger friendship than before, while Sheldon and Penny's friendship slowly begins. In the season finale Penny hints at her true feelings for Leonard. Howard's character remains similar to that of season one in his attempts to seduce women, while Rajesh manages to briefly apologize to Penny without having consumed alcohol.
Season 3: 2009-10
The third season began airing on September 21, 2009.
