The Brady Bunch at The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory Main Cast

My husband and I were so excited to watch the first two episodes of the Season 5 of The Big Bang Theory because the last episode of Season 4 was just uber-hilarious that we had tummy aches because of laughing so hard.

Anyway, the first two episodes are cool but I just wanted to write this about the cast. This is long overdue but I would still want to introduce you to the funny guys at The Big Bang Theory.

Johnny Galecki

Johnny Galecki as Dr. Leonard Hofstadter

Johnny Galecki, born John Mark Galecki on April 30, 1975, first appeared in appeared on film in 1987 in the movie, Murder Ordained. After that, he had roles in several other movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Vanilla Sky, The Opposite of Sex, Playing Mona Lisa, and Bookies. And I do remember his bit role in Will Smith’s movie, Hancock. He also appeared in many TV shows, like Hardball, Civil Wars, My Name is Earl, and My Boys. But his most notable role that catapulted him to instant stardom is being Dr. Leonard Hofstadter–a genius and a physicist who dreams of love, sex, marriage, and building a family someday with the one he loves. He is in love and had a relationship with his neighbor, Penny, played by Kaley Kuoco. He also has hang-ups with his mother.

Jim Parsons

Jim Parsons as Dr. Sheldon Cooper

Jim Parsons plays the eccentric personality of Dr. Sheldon Cooper–a physicist who is extremely intelligent with many skills but who lacks social skills and could not detect sarcasm. He has no interest in women and finds kissing unsanitary. hahahaha Anyway, although he can be impossible to live with if he were my real-life friend, Sheldon Cooper is cute, funny, and infuriating. Parsons delivers his speaking lines very fast, like he would just ramble a formula from his head. Sometimes I wonder if he really understands what he is talking about. And then he combines it with unique facial expressions that are just so endearing. I can hardly imagine anyone playing the role of Sheldon Cooper than Jim Parsons.

Kaley Cuoco

Kaley Cuoco as Penny

Kaley Cuoco plays the role of Penny, the Cheesecake Factory waitress who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. As a waitress and actress wannabe with an extravagant lifestyle, she is always broke. She hangs out with the guys until she finally hooks up with Leonard. They had a loving and passionate relationship, but since Leonard wanted to take things to another level, Penny backed off.

Kaley is no stranger to showbusiness. She is probably that the most veteran in acting among the main cast. She started acting at age 6, in the TV movie. Quicksand: No Escape. She has appeared in many movies and TV shows since then, including Prison Break, Bratz, and Charmed. I love her role. She is cast as the typical dumb blonde but because of her close association with geniuses, her taste in men has also improved…sometimes…

Simon Helberg

Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz

Simon Helberg plays the underweight engineer, Howard Wolowitz. He is the only one in the group who does not hold a doctorate degree and it is often brought up by Sheldon. Howard would then defend this saying that he has a masters degree from MIT. In the current season, he is now engaged to his long-time girlfriend Bernadette, but still lives with his mother. I have yet to see the face of his mother although in all the episodes, we can only hear her voice. Howard and Mrs. Wolowitz keep shouting at each other. That is how they communicate. LOL I just know I don’t want to be neighbors with them.

Kunal Nayyar

Kunal Nayyar as Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali

Kunal Nayyar is the Indian actor who reprises the role of Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali, another nerdy scientist who works at the same university with the rest of the guys. Extremely wealthy in India as well as geeky, he has a psychological problems that make him lose his voice when he is around women. His inhibitions are curtailed when gets a swig of alcohol. But in one episode, he drank a beverage that he thought was alcoholic and so he became forward with women, although in reality it was just a chaser. In this show, he is also longing for love in America but is constantly bugged by his parents (through video conferencing) to marry a nice Indian woman.

Now this is the main cast of The Big Bang Theory and I just love how the creators were able to find them all. It is no wonder why Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady consider themselves blessed.
