Comments: I realize that The Big Bang Theory isn't considered "high art" for most serious television fans. And then there's the fact that I generally avoid anything that airs on CBS. But despite these issues, I must say that I really enjoy this show. One of the main problems I have is that even though The Big Bang Theory often sounds sophisticated, the show is dumbed down enough for the average viewer (of which there were many) to find both identification with the characters and consistent humor. I still think the show is entertaining, despite never being as clever and smart as it could be. It's funny, occasionally touching, and it's easy to digest in large doses. If you don't expect much, The Big Bang Theory is worth a watch.

On a side note, it's amazing how much of a better character Sheldon is now than in the first season. He's changed from an unbearable annoyance to the heart of the show. I also really liked the additions of Mayim Bialik and Mellisa Rauch to the cast. The evolving friendship of "besties" Bialik and Kaley Cuoco was great to watch and a really funny subplot. Much like Jim Parsons, Bialik was ungodly annoying originally, but she was slowly molded into a likeable character that really integrated well with the main cast.

Also, I want to have Kaley Cuoco's babies.
