The Big Bang Theory Season 4 [Blu-ray]
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
this sitcom is about the development of these four young men, especially in regards to their relationships with women. The sitcom never just stays with its successful formula. Instead, it permits its characters to really develop. Relationships with women – some long, some short – come and go. Marriages take place. Forever unseen babies are born. It is a delight to see the characters make real progress in their lives.
One of the ways in which this sitcom really shines is in guest appearances. Wil Wheaton is a recurring favorite, as is Stephen Hawking. Guest stars are drawn from such shows as Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly. Bill Gates makes an appearance, as does Neil Gaiman. The guest star list is nerd nirvana.
My favorite aspect of the show is the constant references to the things geeks like, whether it’s TV shows or movies, video games or ComicCon. This show has validated an entire subculture. And, really, why shouldn’t it? Why should grown men be belittled for having paraphernalia from a favorite franchise while other grown men decorate their man caves in sports paraphernalia? Why is one socially acceptable and the other not? Well, thanks to The Big Bang Theory, no more.
12 years. Not a single weak season. Sure, there was an occasional weak episode. But this show could have gone on forever and never gotten old.- DisneyDenizen
My husband and I only recently started watching the show after I got seasons 1 and 3 for a total steal at Target ($14.99 each!). I had never seen the show before but knew it was popular, and for that price it was easy to take a gamble. My husband initially scoffed but let’s just say we watched a couple of episodes together – and ended up doing a total marathon and ordering seasons 2 and 4 from Amazon!!!
The show is, in one word, AMAZING. I’ve read a lot of different comments from people, some who thought it was too geeky, or too sexist etc – personally, I think that the first four seasons are absolutely ground-breaking in the same way that Friends was in the 90s. The characters all have their quirks but I firmly believe just about anyone with a sense of humor will find themselves laughing hard and often! The puns and jokes in the first four seasons, along with new characters in later seasons to support the main cast, are absolutely hilarious – and I was beyond delighted to find Mayim Bialik back on screen with fervor!
My only qualm for the first few seasons is that I really wish they’d given more screen time and a more substantial role to Sara Gilbert. Reuniting her with Johnny Galecki after the two were an on-screen couple in the 80s in Roseanne, Sara Gilbert still brought the same biting snarkasm to all her TBBT cameos, and I still think she would’ve made a perfect complement for the main cast.
Either way, the actors all do a fantastic job – although even for a “newbie” fan like myself, it’s clear from the get-go why Jim Parsons’ portrayal of the neurotic, hypochondriac and egocentric Dr. Sheldon Cooper is considered the breakaway character of the show. The first few season are a lot cleaner than the later seasons, although I will admit that the running theme of what seems to be implied bisexuality on the part of several characters is a bit weird and confusing at time. All the same, the show is absolutely fantastic and I would urge anyone to at least give it a try- shopgirl76
