Geeks Inherit the Comedy Gene


Sure this may be the year of the geek, then again they said that last year as well. Anyways this year does bring a little gem of a comedy on CBS with perhaps the geekiest cast ever. The Big Bang Theory is not only funnier than it has any right to be, but portrays geeks in a far more authentic way than NBC's spy-dramedy Chuck. Highlights of the show are definately Sheldon, the OCD roommate whose social awkwardness is masked between a bitingly deadpan wit. Even the sexy neighbor seems to be played as more than just the dumb girl next door. While there have only been three episodes it is totally worth checking, perhaps you'll see someone you know reflected in the characters, maybe you'll even see yourself.
