Big Bang Theory
Sheldon Cooper, PhD

Sheldon is what one would call "special". Having garnered a master's degree and two PhD's, this physicist is certainly not short on academic intelligence, but in real world situations he just doesn't have a clue...

Leonard Hofstadter, PhD

Leonard is Sheldon's roommate and best friend and like Sheldon, a fellow physicist at Cal Tech. Unlike Sheldon, he harbors a huge crush on their next door neighbour Penny and will pretty much doing anything to please her. After all that's said and done though, he's still a massive geek...


Penny

After splitting up with her boyfriend of four years, Penny moves into the apartment across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. She's blonde and gorgeous, and has a whiff of cheesecakes about her. Perfect. Leonard also quite fancies her.

Howard Wolowitz

Howard's the best friend of Rajesh and can often be found hanging out in Sheldon and Leonard's residency watching a Stephen Hawking lecture from 1974, throwing some shapes on a dance mat, or perhaps lamely attempting to woo the ladies with a foreign tongue. Ooo-er.

Rajesh Koothrappali

In Howard's words, Rajesh is "kind of a nerd". He appears to be intimidated by Penny's beauty and simply won't speak in her presence, though his silence gets mistaken for pensive thoughts.
