But when a waitress at the Cheesecake factory Penny, a lively and pretty woman becomes their neighbor, Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj suddenly becomes face to face with another reality outside the laboratory. Though the whole show is quite nerdy and mostly depends on Sheldon’s eccentric character and science jokes to create humor, that doesn’t cast away romance from the plot.
In fact, love is what eventually develops the poorly developed personalities and one-dimensional lives of the men as Penny-Leonard, Bernadette-Howard, Sheldon-Amy romance unfold and bloom into mutually helpful relationships.
