Perfect Geek Comedy show for 13+
I watch this show quite regularly with my parents and we all heartily enjoy it. It is geek humor (i.e. XKCD) so some may not understand it. Bad stuff: Innuendo is prominent. Mild Language. I disagree greatly with CSM's review. Penny is almost never seen in a towel, sperm banks were discussed only in the pilot, Sheldon was also only seen in his underwear in the pilot, and Leonard is rarely in his underwear. There is also no violence. CSM really failed this time.

Do you EVER update your reviews?
This is a terrific show. Do you people ever update your reviews? You say things like "Penny occasionally appears in a towel." So that happened once -- in the PILOT! Are you saying that once out of 75 episodes is really "occasionally"? Also, you talk about Penny's "dumb blonde" character. That's true of the pilot, yes, but if you'd just WATCH THE SHOW(!) you'd see that she's grown into the smartest of the five main characters (not book smarts, but practical real-world smarts). She is NOT A DUMB BLOND!! And what character has ever smoked a cigarette? Seriously... do you even watch these shows or do you just watch the pilot, make a snap judgement and be done with it. I think this show is a great way to get young people to think about careers in science. Do you mention in review that all the science is accurate and checked by a PhD from UCLA? No. Do you mention that the creators were inducted into the main Canadian science society? Or that the show was the only sitcom ever reviewed in "Science"? (By the way, they loved it.) I think you just decided to hate this thing and you did.

You may want to watch the first few episodes with parents to see what they think, only because of sexual content at times.
I absolutely love this show! I watch it with my parents all the time. Leonard, Sheldon, and Penny alone are a perfect trio; add in all of the other dorky and lovable characters and you have one of the best smart-comedy shows of all time. Sheldon has so many quirks: the way he knocks on the door, where he sits in the apartment, and "Bazinga!!" Though Penny is portrayed as the "dumb blonde" (yes I spell blonde like the English!) she's still able to keep up with the antics of her neighbors across the hall. My only concern is that with every episode the sexual innuendos and dry language have begun to oust all of the other parts of the show that I thought were truly funny. Consistent drinking amongst characters has become more prominent as well.

Not for Bible Thumpers
Penny is FAR from being a dumb blonde and the guys are nerdy and lots of fun. But I suppose if you're the sort that prefers your television to quote the bible and revere the Christian god, then this isn't for you.

Hilarious with some innuendos
I've only seen a couple of episodes but Sheldon is my favourite character; he is so blatant! This is a pretty great show, who knew nerds could be so funny!

Great show for 14 and up
I love this show. It is funny, and the characters are great. I love Sheldon <3. There is a lot of swearing and sex and some drinks and drugs, some beware of it if you kids watch. One other thing to watch out for - religion is a highly talked about topic on the show, and the stuff isn't always nice.

And It All Started With A Big Bang!....BANG!....
And it all started with a Big Bang....BANG!.... LOL Big Bang Theory is an awesome show, but most of the time i dont understand what they say.. I do have to say that i am inlove with Sheldon Cooper <3 !!! he is like so funny. I love it when he goes *Knock,knock,knock,knock PENNY* three times. That is hilariouuss. Raj is one of my fave characters too, not to be racist or anything but his accent is funny!! hehe. Howard is freakin crazy. Always wanting to get laid, hmmm FUNNY. Leanard and Penny my not so favorite characters but they make a cute couple!!

big bang theory rocks
I love this show! It is intelligent and original, not just resting on the stereotypical "geek" ideal but developing four diverse and individual geniuses. Support characters are also well developed and interesting and though there is sexual inuendo humor, it is usually over the heads of my kids.

Why this show is great for children
This show shows the facts of life. That you must all quit controling your children and filtering the information they recieve throughout life. Because if you do filter the things they see they will grow up just like the characters on this show and overall will be at a social disadvantage. This show is AMAZINGLY funny and you can even learn a few life lessons from it too if you look deep down into the plot of the show.

Fine for more mature kids...
I'm eleven, and I think is the best show on the face of the earth. I'm kind of a nerd, so I kind-of feel as if I have something in common with the characters, but if you have more mature kids who can handle more adult-like content, this show is awesome.

Great for laughs with mature older kids
I think it's fantastic! The humor is intelligent, not plain crude. I completely disagree with the website's rating; this show is funny and it protrays good morales. Yes sexual innuendo is there but it is restricted and not always easy to find.
