It’s not every series that employs a science consultant, but Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady’s sitcom gleefully dwells in the rarefied world of the übergeek with two brainy physicists who are as adept at quantum particles as they are inept at human interaction. Resident geniuses and roommates Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) find their lack of social skills put to the test by their beautiful and down-to-earth neighbor, Penny (Kaley Cuoco). Leonard slowly softens to the ways of the world around him, losing his heart to the girl next door, while Sheldon hilariously stands his ground as the proud outsider, sniping at the emotional absurdities of his fellow beings and using logic where none need apply.

This is truly a nerd question.
Every once in a while, the guys are shown playing a board game. What is that game? It looks vaguely familiar...

Jim - The fans can't help but notice the chemistry between you and Kaley. Would you like to give us fangirls some hope, and tell us if you think there could be some kind of future possibility there with Sheldon and Penny?

To The Cast:
Now that we're gonna get 2 more seasons, is there a possibility of Action Figures of our lovely geeks and Penny?
This show is on air in 44 countries around the globe. How does that make you feel? You've already been to some places like Mexico and Italy, is there any other trip plans ahead?
If There's Time Left, To The Cast:
Any movie projects for this summer?
What kind of music do you guys like?
Thank you for creating a show about us! I love you guys! Keep up the great work!

First of all: Thanks for creating a sitcom centered around loveable (well, more or less) nerds.
My questions:
To Jim: Do you think a person like Sheldon would really use Facebook and Second Life? It seems a bit of an inconsistency.
To Kaley and Jim: Both of you communicate a lot by facial expressions, both obvious/goofy and subtle. How much of that is required by the script and how much of yourselves do you bring into your characters?
I also noticed you two seem to have great chemistry, but I'm a Ph.D. student in Engineering, not Psychology so I could be wrong. Am I?
(I just hope there isn't a Sheldon-Leslie hookup in the making. This obnoxious and affected creature does seem to be his Cryptonite because he loses his Superpower of Repartee around her.)
To Johnny: Doesn't it suck that "Sheldon" is so outrageous while "Leonard" is just the ragular boring guy and thus Jim kind of steals the limelight from you and the other guys? I know I would be a bit pissed off, but then I am a self-centered person which actors so rarely are. *Irony Sign*
