The Big Bang Theory Season 1 DVD brings home all 17 episodes of the first season of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady's CBS sitcom, which aired from September 24, 2007 to May 19, 2008. It is where Leonard, Sheldon and their friends first meet Penny, the new neighbor across the hall.
This is a DVD set, so it plays in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players. The first season debuted on DVD in the US on September 2, 2008.
The Big Bang Theory follows two physicists who share an apartment in Pasadena, California. Leonard Hofstadter, played by Johnny Galecki, is an experimental physicist, and Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons, is a theoretical physicist. Most of the group works at Caltech.
Their lives change when Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco, moves in across the hall. She is an aspiring actress who works as a waitress, and Leonard is drawn to her from the start. Their friends Howard Wolowitz, an aerospace engineer played by Simon Helberg, and Raj Koothrappali, an astrophysicist played by Kunal Nayyar, complete the group.
Season 1 includes "The Hamburger Postulate," "The Pancake Batter Anomaly" and the finale, "The Tangerine Factor." Sara Gilbert also appears in a recurring role as physicist Leslie Winkle.
The series ran for 12 seasons and 279 episodes, and Jim Parsons went on to win four Primetime Emmy Awards for playing Sheldon. The first season is where those characters and their friendships take shape.
The pilot drew 9.52 million viewers, the season's biggest audience. Owning the season on disc means you can revisit the beginning any time, without depending on a streaming service.

Late to the Big Bang Party
I avoided the Big Bang Theory until this year. I’m not sure why. I hadn’t heard a lot of talk of it among my friends and family, nor did the seemingly endless promotions seem to ping at my radar. Yet suddenly, there it was, leading into my other “late to the party” favorite, How I Met Your Mother. I wish I could say I’m not a strong t.v watcher, yet as I think back to the number of sitcoms and ensemble dramas I’ve viewed through the years, it appears I’ve dedicated more of my time to the box with moving pictures than was perhaps necessary. All to say, even with regular press, a successfully completed five seasons, and a fantastic cast of mostly well seasoned actors, I remained painfully oblivious to this thoroughly amusing gem…
The General Premise of The Big Bang Theory: Two bonafide geniuses with varying degrees of, but undeniable, social awkwardness, live across the hall from a young, beautiful any-woman, who is kind enough to gently show them a world outside of their scientific bubble and geek-topolis, yet also powerful enough to guard them from any less tolerant “cool kids”.
The dialogue is ripe with geek culture references and scientific humor. Both fully immersed self-identifying brainiacs, nerds, and geeks, as well as “haven’t touched a book since high school and hated it even then” types, can relax and enjoy the awkward hiccups that our four scientists experience as they try to marry their love for things “out of this world” with the realities back “here on earth”. The series regularly partners our bumbling scientists with the girl across the hall for typical neighborly conundrums (free loading wifi and ordering thai food) and less typical neighborly activities (driving to San Diego to demand back from a bully “unimportant things only useful in an imaginary world”).
Kaley Cuoco (from Charmed and 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter) gives a genuine performance as Penny, the patient yet worldly girl-next-door, who takes the guys under her wing (and at times, into her bed). Johnny Galecki (Darleen’s boyfriend in Roseanne) is utterly charming and convincing as the lovable Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, who you quickly want to “get the girl”. And Jim Parsons (Emmy Winner for this role) plays Dr. Sheldon Cooper, a former child prodigy and current theoretical physicist at CalTech whose strict adherence to his own routine provides fodder for endless conflict and comedy between his friends, family, and general public. The chemistry and polarity between these three main characters provides the springboard for most of the shows storylines and comedy.
The DVD of the Big Bang Theory: The Complete First Season doesn’t contain the Behind the Scenes extras we have come to love and expect, nor does it include any commentaries, or interviews with the cast. The only extra is a brief reflection from the two show creators: Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. Hopefully this is amended in subsequent releases. However, watching on DVD does afford the viewer an opportunity not easily accessible without DVR during standard TV viewing: “Freeze Framing the Chuck Lorre’s Vanity Card”. As in each of his previous shows, Mr. Lorre uses this final three second promo to entertain us with a witty essay on weekly observations. Have your remote standing by…and recommend to your friends and family “The Big Bang Theory”.

A Great Gift For My BIL, One of His Favorite Shows, Excellent Price and Product from Amazon
My Brother In Law is somewhat a Geek wanna be, This is his favorite show, even though he watches it every week without fail, he also backs up the episodes on the DVR, and leaves them there. My sister does not watch the show – so they get into TV wars, where she must either go upstairs, or fight for the DVR – and he huffs upstairs.
So, I bought this set, along with The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Second Season – for BIL’s Christmas Present. He sat it right next to the living room TV, and waited for Sis to go off for work that evening – and open the package. I enjoy the shows when I watch it with him, but between my Computer Surfing, my DVR recordings, Netflix, and my new Kindle – I don’t even have time to watch On Demand, much less this show.
However, this DVD set obviously clears up SOME room on the DVR for Sis’s programs.
Since it isn’t listed on the page, the DVD Package Contents:
Disk 1: includes the episodes “Pilot,” “The Big Bran Hypothesis,” “The Fuzzyboots Corollary,” “The Luminous Fish Effect,” “The Hamburger Postulate,” and “The Middle Earth Paradigm.”
Disk 2: includes episodes “The Dumpling Paradox,” “The Grasshopper Experiment,” “The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarization,” “The Loobenfeld Decay,” “The Pancake Batter Anomaly” and “The Jerusalem Duality.”
Disk 3: includes episodes “The Batjar Conjecture,” “The Nerdvana Annihilation,” “The Pork Chop Indeterminacy,” “The Peanut Reaction” and “The Tangerine Factor.”
Bonus Feature – Quantum Mechanics of The Big Bang Theory: Series Cast and Creators on Why It’s Cool to Be a Geek (featurette).
Review of show itself – I find it one of the more intelligent offerings for Sitcoms – and again, its from CBS – whom offers Two and a Half Men. Outside of The Office, these are the only sit coms I will really watch. It caters to a more higher denomination for viewing pleasure, as opposed to most offerings developed to push a bad taste in the mouth.
Our group of four nerds stand outside the social and accepted etiquette, along with lack of Pop Culture knowledge. The beautiful and hip crowd don’t often understand the elaborate jokes and scenes set around more literate and academic topics. This show appeals to anyone whom went to College, has ever felt a bit out of the crowd, and spreads humor among all walks of society.
Enjoy, whether you equate yourself as a nerd or not. 5 Stars from the BIL.
PS – I do like alpha Geek Shows, used to get into Numbers when it was being aired.

Brilliant show… I see my geekiness in the characters
I first saw a couple of episodes on YouTube, and I got hooked. This sitcom is about four male scientists – two of which (Leonard and Sheldon) room together in an apartment. These four guys spend a lot of time together playing online games, going to conventions and science symposiums, etc. They are socially awkward, especially around women. The fifth character is a beautiful young woman named Penny, who happens to be the new neighbor across the hall.
All four guys are geniuses in their own right, while Penny is sometimes portrayed as a ditz. Each character has his or her flaws, of course. Penny is not too smart, but she does have her moments, and she is sensitive. Leonard is instantly infatuated by Penny and persists in trying to date her – he’s actually the most “normal” of the male group. Sheldon is an obsessive, compulsive, over-analytical germ-o-fob who mocks and belittles anyone who doesn’t measure up to his I.Q. Howard loves to woo women, but overdoes it, making him hilarious. And finally, there’s Raj – the scientist from India who absolutely cannot talk to women.
Add to the mix an unflattering wardrobe for the guys, and just about everything that a nerd or a geek might own, and you have a recipe for huge laughs. I can identify a bit with these guys because, like these characters, I collect sci-fi stuff as well. And I’m a woman. So, it makes the show even funnier to watch.
One suggestion, though. Don’t watch the show late at night. If you do, use a pillow so that you may laugh hysterically without waking anyone.
