Episode 1 – Pilot (101)
Two brilliant young physicists, Leonard and Sheldon, are the kind of “beautiful minds” that understand how the universe works. But their Ph.Ds don’t help them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited, newly single beauty named Penny moves in next door. When Leonard and Sheldon meet Penny, Leonard is immediately interested in her, but Sheldon feels his friend is chasing a dream he’ll never catch. Sheldon is quite content to spend his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow geeky Caltech geniuses, Wolowitz (a wannabe ladies man) and Koothrappali (who is so shy he cannot speak to beautiful women). However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities, including love. Leonard is so infatuated with Penny that after letting her use their shower (hers was broken) he agrees to try to retrieve her TV from her ex-boyfriend, Kurt. Leonard’s efforts fail when he and Sheldon, who unwillingly accompanied him, are both depantsed and left empty handed. Feeling bad, Penny offers to buy them and their friends dinner.
