The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Fourth Season [Blu-ray] Reviews

There is a part of me that feels the trio of male nerds – and the ladies that engorge their lives – spent the fourth season of CBS’s popular sit-com merely treading water. The introduction of girlfriends for the most absurdly pedantic Sheldon and the creepy ‘un-ladies’ man Wolowitz along with the change in girlfriends from the sweet girl next door (Penny) to the forthright and highly intelligent sister of Koothrappali (the third nerd) – seemed to be in response to the inevitable “where do we go from here” that popular situation comedies happen upon at the height of their ratings popularity. Perhaps it was a little too much change in a given season that allowed the show to feel strayed from its loveable formula. But upon reflection, it was perhaps the environment The Big Bang Theory was playing in last year that changed – stiff competition from the very best comedy on television right now (the still underappreciated Community with its bold and daring storylines) – that shaded the perfectly fine season of CBS’s scientists
