讲解介绍

生活大爆炸：

这是一部以 "科学天才" 为背景的情景喜剧，这倒非常罕见。主人公Leonard和Sheldon是一对好朋友，他们的智商绝对高人一等，因为他们对量子物理学理论可以倒背如流，无论你问他们什么问题，都难不倒他们。但是说到日常生活，这两个不修边幅的男孩就彻底没了脾气－－生活中柴米油盐这些看似简单的事情，却让他们有迷失在太空里一样的感觉，他们所掌握的那些科学原理在这里根本没有用武之地。直到有一天……隔壁搬来一位美貌性感的女孩Penny，顿时吸引了两人的目光。Penny是个剧作家，平时还在饭店打工，她个性开朗，待人友善，最重要的是－－她最近刚刚变成单身。
一个美女和四个科学怪才的故事就这样在笑声中悄然开始上演...
