Big Bang Theory is funny. There are other series that are more funny, more whatever, but it don't matter.
The concept is good, it is all about relationships - if you are a nerd you can identify yourself with one or more of the main actors. If you are like me, you will like most of the actors, understand their struggles with being nerds and understanding the world.
Also the concept of bringing in popular science fiction people appeal to many, though I find it a bit boring and the scenes too artificial.
The special gifts are the sprinkles on the cake. Like the slow-flake, star in space, napkin with signature, etc.
The many games that are played where the characters can reflect upon the real live while being in a virtual reality is good.
And if anything, there are too much focus on sex, and Sheldon's character go a bit too far in constructing his own world and take dominance. However, I am happy to see that the other figures also get their place in the spotlight. If there was no sex and relationship, I am sure most people would find it hard to enjoy for a longer time.
Relationships: In my opinion the best written dialogs and scenes are between Sheldon and Penny - Penny learn from Sheldon and he from her - and if it wasn't because Leonard is married to Penny, I would like Sheldon and Penny to end up like a couple.
Sheldon and Amy. It got boring very fast - too nerdy in the relationship. I guess that is why the produces turned Amy from the geek into a woman with needs and love for Sheldon - it didn't work out with 2 super geeks.
Raj and Howard. It was fun with the gay-jokes, but over time worn out. Luckily they both start to have relationships and particular Howard's figure have developed a lot.
Howard and Sheldon, always tense - Sheldon is self-centered and always think he is better than others - but it tend to be boring the 100'th and 1000'th time that he insult Howard.
Howard and Bernadette, OK, but not really funny, Bernadette help to develop Hoards figure, but well - not so funny.
Leonard and Penny: It was a relationship to carry part of the series, and well written. Partly funny, partly serious, like a miniseries inside the series itself. It has however, not been as funny as the Penny+Sheldon relationship.
A few negatives that pull down the series: Laughter soundtrack. I can ignore it, but I know many can't. Drop it. Cut down Sheldons attitude. I know he is horrible and drives all to insanity, but I suggest to develop the personality and that he start to understand that he is not the center of the universe - he need to wake up in one way or another.
