Formulas

The Big Bang Formula
            The Big Bang Theory, now in its seventh season, has enjoyed great success as a sitcom.  The show

 has proven the doubters wrong and continually gets good ratings while keeping up with the times and 

making the audience laugh.  In looking closer at the show, it is easy to see that there are a few things that can 

be counted on from episode to episode.  Sheldon will always be almost unbearable with his compulsive 

ways, Raj will always pine for the love of a woman while some homosexual undertones come through in his 

words, Leonard will always be deeply in love with Penny and will be the feminine opposite to her 

masculinity, Howard will always be a momma’s boy while trying to please and new wife and will still be 

somewhat of a male chauvinist and Penny will always be the pretty girl that the audience wonders, why is she 

hanging out with geeks?  The show mixes in with these different jokes, situations, dilemmas and other drama 

that give it a fluid and humorous storyline.  One, two or even all of the elements can be found in every show, 

and it must be that combination of predictability and clever writing that keeps the audience coming back for 

more every week!!
