Our favourite nerds...., Oct 10 2009
This review is from: The Big Bang Theory: Seasons 1&2 (DVD)
Having only recently discovered The Big Bang Theory, I was happy that Seasons 1 and 2 have been released already so I could catch up on all the past episodes. (I'm going to watch another right after I post this.)
I love this show and find the characters very endearing. It's so refreshing to see INTELLIGENT people being the focus for a change, instead of the usual dumb jocks and airhead beauty queens who are the subject of most of the crap on TV these days. (I really don't care whether the "beautiful people" get laid or not, and I find it offensive how often they seem to feel entitled to bully all the "geeks" out there.)
I'm usually chuckling all through an episode -- or sometimes even doubled over with laughter -- even when everyone in the scene is being perfectly serious.
The edition I have offers dialogue in English or dubbed into Brazilian Portuguese, plus a choice of subtitles in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, or Thai. I sometimes use the English if I miss something rapidly spoken, and I sometimes switch on the French to see how they've translated some of the lines. Very educational!
I watched one episode dubbed into Portuguese, and it was cool to hear the theme song sung in it, and to hear Mrs. Wolowitz sounding exactly the same, only seeming to be from Rio instead of the Bronx!

This review is from: The Big Bang Theory: Seasons 1&2 (DVD)
I decided to order this after watching my first episode of The Big Bang Theory. I am hooked!
Watching the daily lives of Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Howard and Raj, had me laughing out loud too many times to count. Stand out performance by Jim Parsons as Sheldon. It's the perfect video to appeal to the inner "nerd" in all of us.

This review is from: The Big Bang Theory: Seasons 1&2 (DVD)
I have just bought both these seasons from Wal-Mart for $18.88 each. They are overpriced on Amazon. I love this show and when I brought them home my wife thanked me for getting them they are so good.
