Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, and Penny make up the cast of The Big Bang Theory on
cable television Thursday nights on CBS. They are four scientists and an actress/waitress who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard.
The main characters Sheldon and Leonard live together in a two bedroom apartment where Howard and Raj spent virtually every hour of their off time from work. All four work in the same complex but in different scientific fields. Sheldon is the super brain physicist who has absolutely zero social skill of any kind. He simply cannot relate to anyone who is not on the same intelligence level. Nor does he have any grasp of simple or common subjects. Leonard is the most normal, Howard is a no luck with women sex fiend, and Raj literally cannot speak if woman is even in the room.
When Penny who is from Arkansas or someplace in the mid west moved in, Leonard instantly fell in love. His efforts to woo his new love makes for funny script while the others--except for Sheldon--who are also smitten by Penny devalue his efforts.
During the progression of the show over the years Leonard and Penny did hook up for short but it finally ended. However they still have a deep seeded love for each other that will create some sexual tension from time to time. The boys combination of greatness and ineptness combined with Penny's down home style of normal living are a combination not often seen in true life. This is what makes The Big Bang Theory so funny.
