Description

Product Description Big Bang Theory, The: The Complete Second Season (DVD)Chuck Lorre (“Two and a Half Men”) & Bill Prady ("Dharma & Greg") co-created this new comedy about a pair of brilliant physicists – roommates Leonard (Johnny Galecki – “Roseanne”) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons – “Judging Amy,” “Garden State”) – who understand how the universe works but have no clue about how to interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny (Kaley Cuoco, “8 Simple Rules… for Dating My Teenage Daughter”) moves in next door. Sheldon is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz (Simon Helberg – “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) and Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar, “Huck & Holden”). However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities ... including love.]]> .com Early in the second season of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon (Emmy nominee Jim Parsons) asks Penny (Kaley Cuoco), "When did we become friends?" For a smart guy, Sheldon misses a lot. But for the record, season 1 answered the question of whether or not an adorkable group of geniuses can become friends with the hot girl next door (yes!). Season 2 shows us what that friendship looks like, and it's awesome, especially when it includes a rousing game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock." Sheldon's roommate Leonard (Johnny Galecki) wants to be more than friends with Penny, but the richest relationship of the show is that of Penny and Sheldon. He uses the "covenant of friendship" to get Penny to give him rides, he engages in an over-caffeinated business venture with her, and in the excellent Christmas episode, they exchange gifts and share a surprisingly touching moment. (Sheldon's midseason efforts to befriend a colleague can't compare.) Penny is forever changed by the guys, even telling a date about Schrodinger's cat and delving into online gaming. The extras, including a gag reel and interviews with the cast and crew, reveal the stars to be as appealing and connected to each other as their characters. --Stephanie Reid-Simons
