The Big Bang Theory (Season 3)
Set in Pasadena, California, the show is about two male Caltech prodigies in their 20s, one an experimental physicist (Leonard Hofstadter) and the other a theoretical physicist (Sheldon Cooper), who live across the hall from an attractive blonde waitress with show-biz aspirations (Penny). Leonard and Sheldon's 'geekiness' and sheer intellect are contrasted with Penny's social skills and common sense for comic effect.[3][4] Two equally geeky friends of theirs, Howard and Rajesh, are also main characters.
