Reviews

'The Big Bang Theory' doesn't conjure up many big laughs, but its colliding elements do generate enough little ones to become another promising addition to CBS Monday sitcom lineup."—Variety³

"Battlestar Galactica, Klingon Boggle, and a 1974 Stephen Hawking lecture are all mentioned in Big Bang Theory premiere. They have one other trait in common, too: They're all more pleasurable ways of spending your time than this lamebrained sitcom.—Entertainment Weekly⁴

Quotes

"If by "Holy Smokes, you mean a derivative restatement of the kind of stuff you could find scribbled on the wall of any men's room at MIT, sure."
