The Big Bang Theory: Season 2 [Blu-ray]

We love this show!! Works great no issues

Comedy Gold!

It's official. I am truly addicted to The Big Bang Theory. And after several years without a sitcom on my weekly TV schedule, I am thrilled. I recently caught up with the second season on DVD, and now that I've stopped laughing, I'll share my thoughts with you.The show revolves around four physicists. Leonard and Sheldon (Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons) are roommates. They are good friends with Howard (Simon Helberg) and Raj (Kunal Nayyar) since all four work at Cal Poly. Across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon's apartment lives Penny (Kaley Cuoco), a want to be actress who pays her bills as a waitress at The Cheesecake Factory. In any other world, she'd be the normal one of the group, but as Sheldon points out at one point, "In this room, you are the one who is peculiar."The season opens exactly where season 1 left off. Leonard has finally acted on his crush and asked Penny out. But she quickly dumps him and then confides the reason to Sheldon who almost moves out instead of keep the secret. Over the course of the season, Penny becomes addicted to an on-line roll playing game, Raj gets a big head after landing in "People" magazine, everyone tries to teach Sheldon how to drive, Penny and Sheldon wind up in a feud but they batch things up in time for Penny to give Sheldon the best Christmas present ever, Howard actually gets a girlfriend (temporarily), and Penny accidently hits Sheldon's couch cushion with paintballs.Most of the focus on this show is on Sheldon, whose neurotic behavior is perfectly played by Jim Parsons. And there's a very good reason for that. Sheldon often gets the funniest lines or funniest stories, and Jim's acting is absolutely perfect. I really do feel that this character in anyone else's hands would be a disaster.But that's not to knock the rest of the cast. All five of the leads are great comedians and brings their characters to full life with every episode. Kunal Nayyar has a hard job since his character is too shy to talk around women, but he still manages to get some great laughs out of us. When Howard isn't being a slimeball, he can be funny. And Leonard really is the most normal of the guys, and the one I identify with the most.Which leaves us with Penny. She is the emotional heart of the show. While often frustrated with the guys and their lack of social skills, she also usually is quick to forgive and do something that will make you smile. Take for example the episode where she loses it with Howard for his suggestive comments. Honestly, I get that since I often find his remarks over the line. But their scenes together later in that episode are heartwarming.Of course, there are the funny side bars in each episode, like the one where Sheldon expands the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors by adding Lizard and Spock. He does it to decrease the odds of ties, a plan that backfires in some of my favorite moments in the season.Season two consisted of 23 episodes, which are preserved here on 4 discs. The fourth disc also gives us an interview with the real life physicist who helps with the show's incredible amount of science as well as interviews with the actors and creators about how the show progressed in season two. Finally, there's a great gag reel.This show never fails to make me laugh. If you are looking for a great sitcom, look no further than season two of The Big Bang Theory.

Another Great Season of The Big Bang Theory fun to have at home on DVD to satisfy each Big Bang Whim.(See my Season One review for a recap of the show premise and main characters.) The comedic goodness continues with The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Second Season. However, as was my frustration with The Big Bang Theory: The Complete First Season, the Second Season DVD still doesn't provide enough extras to make me want to buy more. Cast interviews, commentaries, reflections from the designers, are the meat and potatoes for me in regard to stellar DVD features. I want to hear more about the process of making this world come to life...but I want to be entertained while you tell me. Big order, I know. Yet none of these grumblings about the weak extras on the DVD can dampens my enthusiasm for this excellent 23-minute escapade of laughter. And so, this season's DVD retains a 5-star rating with the hope that in subsequent seasons, the DVD supplementals will continue to improve.Also as with the Season One DVD, you still can and should, pause for the Chuck Lorre's Vanity Card to enjoy his weekly offering of wit and life observations. It's the cherry on top.From my Season One Review: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 quality gem...and my life was emptier for it...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.

Love the Show!

I love the episodes. Whats great is I can actually see these episodes playing out in real life. They are relatable characters

toujours savoureux. Beaucoup d'expressions idiomatiques pour ceux qui travaillent leur anglais.

Era da tanto che volevo prendere questa serie TV da vedere, durante i vari anni, con il lavoro, avevo visto solo di sfuggita qualche puntata e mi aveva subito catturato.Adesso con la promozione 3x2 sulle serie TV di Amazon ho preso le prime 6 stagioni, quindi due non le ho nemmeno pagate!!E comunque i prezzi delle singole stagioni sono più bassi qui su Amazon, rispetto alle varie catene che hanno dvd.Amazon è sempre il numero 1!!Ovviamente mi hanno consegnato il tutto perfettamente imballato e con sempre un giorno di anticipo rispetto alla scadenza!!GRAZIE!

Muy buena serie. La compré para prácticar alemán y me ha gustado mucho. Altamente recomendable, ya sea para entretenimiento o para practicar otro idioma

This season definitely figured out its rhythm. Thanks to the leadership of Chuck Lore and the writing team, each episode got better and funnier. One of the top favourite seasons during the early years. Gag reels are also pretty good.
