Love it. and Johnny Galecki: Leonard

Oh yeah, I love that show and I'm gonna follow your lead and say Leonard rules!

coolio!

I like Sheldon most.

Although he seems not interested in women.

He is so cute!

Two smartarses on the opposite ends of the NT/Aspie continnuum. Here's the DSM-IV breakdown of Sheldon btw:

The Mrs. and I both like it a lot. I don't have a favorite character, though - I just like how they get the "geekiness" so right, most of the time. There are times when I know what's coming next because it's just what I would say or do!

Edit: Spoiler warning! Sorry I forgot to say it when I first posted.




The writers do take some liberties with science for the sake of the story, like having no delay when driving the Mars Rover, or the helium thing in this week's episode. (In a room with enough helium to change the sound of somebody's voice significantly, you wouldn't be able to breathe.)

BTW, Howard's song to Bernadette is actually a version of "Bernadette" by the Four Tops.

Extremely difficult to choose a favorite character, but if any it would have to be Sheldon.

If for any reason, because most of the funniest scenes in the series involve him.

If I might spoil something you've not yet seen, don't read.

Such as Sheldon attempting to chew out the Chinese restaurant manager in Mandarin, his encounter with the graveyard janitors in the university cafeteria as a evil cloaked figure (complete with the visual quality/texture being similar to a soap opera), Wolowitz giving Sheldon a ride on the back of his moped, Wolowitz's remark upon finding Sheldon left on his doorstep by Rajesh, and Sheldon banging on the keyboard and singing while wasted. Also his quote: "Oh God, now she's jumping up and down on her bed!!"

Sheldon all the way man. With Raj at close second.

I think they're all hilarious, but Sheldon takes the cake.

Sheldon has the funniest scenes, but Raj is still my favorite.

It's not accurate though.

Sheldon does not manifest appropriate eye contact behavior. He fixedly gazes. Fixed gaze is specifically described in DSM-IV in the expanded text description (of AS) as being one of the possible manifestations of a failure to use eye contact to regulate expression.

Also, the need for help is what determines impairment, not whether or not the help is currently available. One is not autistic one week when no one is around to help, non-Autistic the next week if someone offers assistance, and Autistic again the following week if the helper gets bored of assisting and drifts away. The need for this kind of help and assistance in his daily life constitutes clinically significant impairment. Getting the daily help and assistance one needs mitigates the negative impacts of impairment, it does not magic away the impairment that causes the support to be needed.

He is also arguably persistently preoccupied with parts.

Sheldon is my favourite in the series because his character is hilarious.

My favorite character is Lenard. I've asked my wife to let me know if I'm having a Sheldon moment.

I love that show!
I didn't think I'd like it, but my fiance got me into it. I love geeky guys so it's perfect!
I think Sheldon is absolutely hilarious, and we look at each other whenever he does something that reminds us of *me*, he is a lot like me. I also love Leonard and Howard.

Who could not love such a hilarious show?

Leonard is really cute and Sheldon is incredibly funny.

We have to pick a favourite? I think much of the comedy comes from the gestalt of the group, especially Penny's 'outsider perspective', but Sheldon would be the obvious choice since he is a nerd among nerds, and arrogance combined with ineptitude often makes for good comedy

Am not a fan, but obviously Sheldon for the win!
