The Big Bang Theory Season 2 DVD collects all 23 episodes of the second season of the CBS sitcom from Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, which aired from September 22, 2008 to May 11, 2009. Critics welcomed the season warmly after a mixed response to Season 1.
This is a DVD set, so it plays in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players. The season was released on DVD on September 15, 2009.
The Big Bang Theory follows roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, two Caltech physicists in Pasadena, California, and their neighbor Penny, an aspiring actress. In the season premiere, Penny admits to Sheldon that she lied to Leonard about her education, and Sheldon struggles to keep the secret.
Leonard and Penny's on-again, off-again relationship drives the year, with Leslie Winkle, played by Sara Gilbert, and Penny's ex-boyfriend Kurt turning up along the way. Sheldon clashes with Penny over her service as a waitress and over her laundry, while Howard and Raj each get storylines of their own.
Fan favorites include "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis," which TV Guide ranked among its 100 Greatest Episodes, and "The Lizard–Spock Expansion," built around the rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock game. Christine Baranski appears as Leonard's mother in "The Maternal Capacitance," and Summer Glau guest stars in "The Terminator Decoupling."
Jim Parsons was nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for this season, and Christine Baranski was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series.
The season ends with Sheldon winning a grant for a three-month expedition to the magnetic North Pole, with Leonard invited along. Owning Big Bang Theory Season 2 on disc lets you watch the whole arc in order whenever you like.

Sheldon?, Is that You?
I purchased each season. I have issues with some people that I just do not seem to get across. Then I find an appropriate episode of BBT, & have that person watch it with me. I copied & maintain the ‘Friendship Algorithm’, using it regularly. Its funny. It works. I don’t pass out in high places though.
The Sheldon’s in my life are all prepubescent. Teaching Computer Programming to each other & colleagues until they have a need for a script or ‘DOS’ command. Suddenly they are my friend. Funny the kind of things they offer, thinking I am really interested. Usually I give in, solve the problem, then go back to being largely ignored. Finding later they took credit for solving the problem with no reference to me. I understand, they cannot admit in front of their peers that they actually had to ask an old fogy for assistance.
I grew up with Spock & Kirk. Reviewing the original Star Trek show’s, I am now realizing just how much humor was in them. Shatner is very funny. So was Shakespeare, but we have lost so much of the language, & knowledge of the time. I really never understood Hamlet until I saw Mel Gibson play the part so brilliantly.
This program is a real reflection of our time. The true test of genius is not the ability to understand the problem or even solve it. It is the ability to relate it to us who are not so gifted, and do it in a respectful manner, that really gives us a clue. Steven Hawking comes to mind. I also wonder just how much of Jim Parsons is in the character of Sheldon Cooper.
I just wish there were more ‘Penny’s’.

Great funny show. Sheldon deserves multiple Emmy’s
This show is quite awesome. I am a computer geek, comic collector, fantasy gamer, with many similar hobbies and mannerisms to many of the characters on this show. The inside geek jokes are truly gems. My wife loves the show also because she is a non geek who has put up with my hobbies for so many years that she is reminded of us in several episodes. I have seen most of these episodes and have pre-ordered this season. The episodes I have seen from this season (about 75%) led me to order season 1 on DVD. Season 1 was FANTASTIC, and I am sure the episodes I have missed from this season will be just as good. The episodes I caught I loved, and definitely warrant repeat watching.
This is truly a show that relies on it’s ensemble cast. When the four main geek characters get together it is always magical. The actor playing Sheldon is my favorite and deserves multiple emmies.
SOAP BOX TIME:
I have a comment on the future of this show. A few times this season the writers have portrayed the geek side of the characters in a harsher negative light. They should celebrate these aspects instead. Show the hobbies and obsessions as they are in all their glory, and let the audience judge the level of acceptance. We fanboys already know what we do is not necessarily the “social norm”, but our numbers are growing; Millions play WoW or online games, the San Diego Comicon has become a celebrated cultural phenomenon, D&D and other games like Magic the Gathering are quite popular, and SciFi and fantasy are becoming more and more accepted forms of mainstream entertainment. (Lord of the Rings anyone?)
This show is too good to fall into the sterotypical trap of labeling the geeks as the outcasts to be shunned. It should be less about laughing at them (us), and more about laughing with them (us). So many shows miss this mark and insult what could be a huge audience share. This only happened once or twice this season that I remember, mainly in situations where Leonard was trying too hard to be “normal” to impress Penny.

One of the most brilliant takes on a sitcom I have ever seen
Every situation comedy (sitcom) has to come up with a unique angle to view reality through, in the hopes of finding the humor in life. In the past, this was generally done in family situations with “zany” characters. That type of sitcom has also largely been done to death. Even the “group of funny friends” situation is starting to be overdone. Friends did it. How I Met Your Mother is currently doing it (very well I might add), Seinfeld did it, etc.
In “The Big Bang Theory” we are thrust into the lives of 3 genius level scientists, and one super-genius level scientist. The story needed its “Spock” or “Mr. Data” to explain to the rest of us what on Earth they were talking about, so we got Kaley Cuoco playing the lay-person’s character of “Penny.” As the genius scientists have to explain to her what they are talking about, it clues the rest of us in too.
The result of the situation this comedy is taking place in, is an inside look into a world most of us have never seen, nor do we understand. As someone who took both levels of introductory physics (and passed!) in college, I can tell you that their subject matter is accurate, and also way over the undergraduate level. The characters are pure genius, and pretty much every episode is hilarious and filled with heart.
I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for a good sitcom to watch. It isn’t a “science show” — no more than “Sports Night” was a “sports show.” It is a comedy show, and it is darn funny! The Big Bang Theory is now entering its third season, and I strongly recommend you all support it so we can keep this quality entertainment on the air!
