Opinion | Noah Berlatsky: 'You don't have to love 'The Big Bang Theory,' or even like it, to acknowledge the show's accomplishments after 12 seasons and millions of fans.' - NBCNewsTHINK
Even if you're embarrassed to admit it, you probably know the basic plot of"The Big Bang Theory." Maybe you caught a re-run or five while channel surfing. Or bored at the doctor’s office. In any case, Penny , a waitress who hopes to be an actress, moves to a Pasadena apartment across the hall from two physicists, Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper . She's sexy, popular and not very smart. They're nerdy, clueless and have stratospheric IQs. Hijinks ensue.
"The Big Bang Theory" adores the silliness of its brand of culture commentary — which puts critics of the series in an uncomfortable position. That makes the show sound mean-spirited and cramped, and sometimes it is. But it's also often about a group of disparate characters who accept that they can be friends despite not sharing the same interests — or even better, unexpectedly discovering that they do.
