They are colleagues, best friends, and roommates, although in all capacities their relationship is always tested primarily by Sheldon's regimented, deeply eccentric, and non-conventional ways. They are also friends with their Cal Tech colleagues mechanical engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The foursome spend their time working on their individual work projects, playing video games, watching science-fiction movies, or reading comic books. As they are self-professed nerds, all have little or no luck with popular women. When Penny, a pretty woman and an aspiring actress originally from Omaha, moves into the apartment next to Leonard and Sheldon's, Leonard has another aspiration in life, namely to get Penny to be his girlfriend.
Leonard is concerned when his date with Penny ends abruptly and she starts blowing him off. When told the truth, Sheldon would rather move out than keep Penny\'s reasons a secret from Leonard.
After seeing Penny with her new boyfriend, Leonard turns to Leslie for comfort. The move angers Sheldon, who considers Leslie his comic book-style \"arch enemy.\"
After being featured in a People magazine article, Raj becomes full of himself and alienates his friends. However, his newfound fame does get him a date with Penny.
Sheldon becomes cozy with a female graduate student who is infatuated with him, but nobody can figure out whether they\'re in a relationship--including Sheldon.
Penny plans revenge when Sheldon bans her from the guys\' apartment, while Howard and Rajesh use the latest technology to try to find the house being used in \"America\'s Next Top Model.\"
Sheldon tries to help move Leonard\'s new relationship along, because his track record with women has been less than successful. But will he cause more trouble than good?
Much to Lenonard\'s disappointment, Penny suddenly develops an interest in science when a sexy new physicist joins the lab. Meanwhile, Sheldon struggles to find an appropriate Christmas gift for Penny.
Howard becomes depressed after Penny makes a cruel statement about his love life, while the rest of the guys prepare for a grudge killer robot duel against an obnoxious colleague at the university.
Leonard is so upset when a friend from the comic book store begins dating Penny that he convinces Howard and Raj to take him to a bar so that he can pick up a woman of his own.
After being dumped by Leslie, Howard heads to Las Vegas with Leonard and Raj, leaving Penny to deal with Sheldon, who has locked himself out of the apartment.
