Nerds take TV by storm
[...] Johnny Galecki (all grown up since "Roseanne") is a hoot as super-smart, socially inept science geek Leonard in "The Big Bang Theory." Jim Parsons ("Judging Amy") is his buddy Sheldon. Sheldon Leonard, get it? - an intentional nod from the producers to one of the all-time great TV comedy writers (from "The Dick Van Dyke Show" through "I Spy").
