I can imagine some of the discussion when "The Big Bang Theory" was being pitched to network executives: "A show about a bunch of geeky science nerds, and filled with technical jargon that no one can understand? Who would watch THAT? It would never go over!"
Well, any such naysayers have been proven wrong, as the show is now in it's sixth season as one of the biggest hit sitcoms on TV, and is one of my favorites. If you're a fan like me, you should breeze through the following quiz, and come up with the numbers to plug into N 38 AB.CDE, W 121 PQ.RST. If you're not a fan, you may need to do some web research.
