'Big Bang Theory' shows sitcom formula still works

Great article. I love the comments from the cast and writers. But I would loved to have heard from Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar as well. I think it's the ensemble cast that makes this show so terrific.

I love this show to death...but I simply can't watch it except alone. When I watch it with anyone who knows me, every other comment is how much Sheldon reminds them of me.

this show. I don't think I have laughed during a sitcom since seinfeld was on in the 90's. I still laugh at the re runs but that doesn't count.

Thanks for this fantastic story. The Big Bang Theory is the only sitcom I watch and my husband and I think it's absolutely hysterical. Glad to see it getting some well-deserved praise!

Not a fan of sitcoms (can't stand the one that follows this show even if it's by the same producer), but have to admit that this is extremely funny. Sheldon is truly the highlight of the show, mostly because he's the most far-gone personality, so removed from the human experience that he can comment on the interactions of others without seeming to know what is going on.

Sometimes his comments are funny because they are spot-on true, and other times just funny because he has no clue.
