    I just noticed that Leonard drives Prius. I think 3rd gen too.
    Very fitting for geeks. I like this show even more now.

    I see. I'm not geek enough myself, thus I enjoy it.

    I was born in Pasadena. I always like to hear them talk about places I used to go!

    My gf and I don't generally watch American TV comedy -- our tastes run to the British -- but we make sure to catch BBT every week. Funniest thing on TV...

    Best part is that we each identify with Leonard but think the other person is Sheldon. :)

    As a self proclaimed geek, I have to say BBT is my favorite show on network TV:D

    I'm a huge nerd too and LOVE BBT. We met Bill Prady at TAM (a skeptics convention) a couple years ago and it was fun to hear about how he created BBT... Sheldon is awesome.

    My first name is Sheldon and I drive a Prius. Does that make me a geek? My wife says yes.

    He did once, but very slowly. I especially liked the bit when he built virtual self to be safer that bumped into The Woz, and he falls down the stairs on his way to get his Apple II autographed. Funniest episode so far....Ted

    One of the only shows I try to catch whenever it's on. Very funny and, for an American sitcom, surprising that it has done so well. Definitely not your typical, dumbed-down-for-the-average-American TV program.:p

    BTW, I was watching a re-run just the other night where they introduced Howard's girlfriend, Bernadette, and noticed that Leonard was driving a Prius. I also noticed that the front seat head restraints were removed --- probably for better camera angles.

    Your wife is partially correct. People named Sheldon are automatically awarded Geek, E-1 (GV1) status. Driving a Prius advances them to Geek, E-2 (GV2) status.

    At least that's what a geek sitting on a barstool, drinking a diet virgin Cuba Libre, told me it says in the geek manual.

    the best man at my wedding (28 years ago) works for NASA. He says the show is pretty funny. He also says I could work for NASA because of two things: 1) I drive a Prius and 2) I quote Star Trek (alot).

    Love BBT!

    One of my oldest friends has worked on the show since the beginning.
    The blond is such a cutie!

    Lucky guy.

    Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!
