Making “geek” very chic, CBS’s The Big Bang Theory has achieved the sort of success most series only dream of: continually growing in popularity over the past six seasons. Currently the highest-rated situation comedy on network television, Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady’s creation about a group of scientific overachievers with a decided lack of people skills thrives in syndication as well. The addition of women into the lives of our heroes may have resulted in hints of interpersonal growth, but thankfully not to the degree that their social ineptitudes have been altered at the expense of the laughs fans have come to expect. Bazinga, baby.
