When The Big Bang Theory first premiered in 2007, no one could have predicted how successful the series would become with TV audiences. The cast of characters wasn't exactly depicting the general populace because of their extreme intelligence and specific interests. Yet, there was something truly special about the chemistry amongst the characters and the actors that so expertly portrayed their prospective roles. The characters don't really seem like they would be truly likable by TV audiences, especially since they all seem to have some major social disorders. Yet, that hasn't made them unappealing to audiences in the least. In fact, it seems to make them more relatable because they have flaws and quirks that make TV audiences see them as believable characters rather than fictionalized TV roles meant to simply entertain.
