is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady and Steven Molaro.
The show is centered on five characters living in Pasadena, California: roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper; Penny, a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers, mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense.
Over time, supporting characters have been promoted to starring roles: Bernadette Rostenkowski, Howard's girlfriend (later his wife), a microbiologist and former parttime waitress alongside Penny; neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler, who joins the group after being matched to Sheldon on a dating website (and later becomes Sheldon's girlfriend).
Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter, Ph. D. – An experimental physicist with an IQ of 173. He received his Ph. D. when he was 24 years old. He is originally from New Jersey. Thestraight man of the series, he shares an apartment with colleague and friend Sheldon Cooper in Pasadena. The writers immediately implied potential romance between him and neighbor Penny, and their sexual tension is frequently explored including occasional dating. In Season 3, Leonard begins an on-again, off-again romantic relationship with Penny, although the two continue to live separately. In Season 5, Leonard and Penny get back together, and begin what they refer to as a "relationship beta test", in which either Leonard or Penny would report a "bug" to the other person, and he/she would address it.
Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper, – Originally from Galveston, Texas, he was a child prodigy with an eidetic memory who began college at the age of 11 (after completing the fifth grade), started graduate studies at 14, and earned a Ph. D. at 16. A theoretical physicist researching quantum mechanics and string theory and an IQ of 187. He exhibits a strict adherence to routine and a lack of understanding of irony and sarcasm; he is also uninterested in many of the romantic hijinks of his friends. Sheldon shares an apartment with Leonard Hofstadter, across the hall from Penny, and relies on both for advice in social situations
Simon Helberg as Howard Joel Wolowitz – He works as an aerospace engineer. He is Jewish and lives with his mother. He exhibits a good line in Jewish humor, which Leonard and Raj seem to occasionally appreciate. Prior to dating and marrying Bernadette, he fancied himself a ladies' man and devised outrageous pick-up lines, with suitably unimpressed reactions from Penny and limited success with other women. He claims to be a polyglot. He dates and later marries Bernadette Rostenkowski, and eventually moves into an apartment with her in the sixth season. In the fifth season, he trained as an astronaut, and blasted off into space in the season finale to serve as a payload specialist on the International Space Station.
Kunal Nayyar as Rajesh Ramayan "Raj" Koothrappali – Originally from New Delhi, India, he works as a particle astrophysicist at Caltech. His family is very wealthy. He was very shy around women and was physically unable to talk to them for the first six seasons of the show (except for his mother and his sister), unless he drink alcohol (or at least thought he had been drinking alcohol). In the final episode of season six, Raj overcomes his inability to speak to women, and can now address females without having alcohol in his system. He has very feminine tastes and often takes on a stereotypical female role in his close friendship with Howard, but he insists that he is not gay.
Melissa Rauch as Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz a young woman who is initially a waitress and co-worker of Penny's, paying her way through graduate school microbiology studies. She defends her doctoral thesis and lands a high-paying research position at the end of season 4. Bernadette is introduced to Howard by Penny. At first they do not get along, apparently having nothing in common. When they find out that they both have overbearing mothers, they feel a connection. During season 3 they date and then break up off-screen, then get back together in season 4. They become engaged near the end of season 4, and marry at the end of season 5.
Mayim Bialik as Amy Farrah Fowler, – a woman Raj and Howard met on an online dating site after secretly setting up an account using Sheldon's name and information. The site matches her to Sheldon, and the two share many similar traits though Amy is more interested in social and romantic interaction and is slightly more sociallyaware than Sheldon. Once she and Sheldon meet, she becomes, as Sheldon puts it, a girl who is his friend, but not his "girlfriend". Amy Fowler has a Ph. D. in neurobiology, while Bialik herself has a doctorate in neuroscience.
Kaley Cuoco as Penny – From a town outside of Omaha, Nebraska, she is a waitress who lives across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. Penny is pursuing a career in acting, and has been on casting calls and auditions but has not been very successful thus far. To pay the bills, she is a waitress and occasional bartender at The Cheesecake Factory. She is not a university graduate but has far more common sense and streetwise social awareness than the other main characters. To date, her last name has not been revealed. She dated Leonard at the end of the first season, and during the third, fifth, and sixth seasons. By season four, Bernadette, Amy and Penny have formed their own group, who like to hang out in Penny's apartment or go out together.
