[ubuntu-uk] The IT Crowd

[pmgazz]

I thought Leslie Winklier was great. There's also Raj's childhood friend 
who prefers Sheldon. Not to mention Leonard's mother who has me in 
stitches.

Penny sort of represents Middle America rather than any idiocy 
specifically of womankind, I thought. She had to be a woman, the geeks 
obviously wouldn't bother to interact with a 'corn-fed' bloke now would 
they?

In the last series she was wailing that Leonard had spoiled her for 
going out with dumb men because she now knew perfectly well they 
couldn't blow up the moon by bouncing a laser off a reflector.

Nah, The Big Bang theory is innocent, guv! Penny is treated pretty 
respectfully and thoroughly counterbalanced by the geekiest and most 
independent women I've every seen on TV. The (affectionate) joke is on 
the geeky boys.
