Summary of Season 1 (2007) - 3 discs

Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) know quantum physics and the Klingon language. They don't, however, have a clue about women. That's too bad, because attractive, newly single Penny (Kaley Cuoco) just moved into the building, and she could use some companionship. If these two nerds are ever going to score with the ladies, Penny will need to give them a crash course in life in this sitcom from the creator of "Two and a Half Men."

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that The Big Bang Theory is fun but has a fair amount of sexual innuendo (hints about sex acts, people in their underwear or in bed together), and lots of stereotyping (mainly about "geeky men" and "dumb blondes"). Frequent strong vocabulary ("bitch," "crap," "bastard," "hell") is mixed in with lots of jargon that science fans will enjoy. There are a lot of pop culture references, ranging from Snoopy to Star Trek, and lots of iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. Characters occasionally drink and smoke.

Sexual Content

Some strong sexual innuendo, including subtle or geeky references to sex acts. Characters are shown in their underwear or in bed together. Some episodes revolve around a character trying to get the other one to have sex.

Violence

Contains occasional arguments. There are some comical references to physical violence, but actual confrontations are never shown. Bullying is discussed.

Language

"Bitch," "bastard," "hell," "damn," "crap" infrequently.

Social Behavior

Highlights positive friendships and the value of intelligence, but much of the humor revolves around stereotypical representations of science geniuses and pretty women.

Consumerism

Lots of iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. Penny works at the Cheesecake Factory; constant references are made to sci-fi shows, comics, and superheroes.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Occasional drinking (beer, wine, cocktails) and, on rare occasion, smoking cigarettes.
