And Johnny Galecki doesn’t really find his bearings as the lead until mid-season; in the first four episodes, he’s really just David from “Roseanne” in nerd form. But when the writers manage to employ the talents of the cast in hilarious episodes like “The Pancake Batter Anomaly” and “The Nerdvanna Annihilation,” then “The Big Bang Theory” really comes together. It definitely has its share of large flaws, but that’s more than forgivable for a series with considerable energy and Kaley Cuoco. Seriously, she’s a brick house. The series is a definite favorite of mine. I hope it sticks around a while.

As for the DVD, audiences who enjoyed the “geek chic” manufactured craze of last year will enjoy what the studio serves up for fans. “Quantum Mechanics of the Big Bang Theory” is a seventeen minute origin behind the making of the series and how it all came together featuring interviews with the two creators of the show, and the stars. Sadly, it’s the only feature here, but it’s a damn good one. We learn a lot of interesting facts we may not notice. Did you know they have an actual physicist on the set that writes down the formulas on the boards and checks the jargon on the scripts for inaccuracies? Yep, those equations you see in the background are genuine. Did you know guys are based on real people? And did you know character Penny was originally a character created to lead her own sitcom and she was eventually combined with the series? It’s good stuff even if much more extras would have served this set’s quality so much more. No bloopers? No Deleted Scenes? No Easter Eggs? Sad.

Yes, it's not a perfect sitcom what with the first few episodes traveling down a rocky road and never really knowing what to do with the characters at times, but "The Big Bang Theory" manages to supply big laughs when it finds its focus, and it's a definite experimental rental. The Extras are slim, but informative nevertheless.
