Memorable Lines:
The writers often toss out a lot of un-PC, stereotypical jokes regarding Raj's racial heritage. Is there ever any concern or trepidation over how these jokes come off?
[KN]: ... There’s never a moment where things have crossed the line, everything is done tastefully. Raj makes fun of America, too, if you remember. He talks about the morbid obesity, so it goes both ways. We make fun of a lot of things, women and men, geeks and beautiful people. It never crosses the line in my opinion.
[KN]: I enjoy having the obstacle of not being able to find love. I think in playing those obstacles I discover a lot of comedy. I find if a character begins to succeed at something that was an obstacle, than that character can become less funny, because then what are they fighting against?

Memorable Lines:
The concept is much more original than Two and a Half Men. Yes, there are geeks on this show too. And yes, it's funny. But it's not funny because someone is mocking them. It's funny because they work it. They own it. They celebrate it. They're not interested in becoming anything other than what they are. And, imagine this: they still get pretty women. Who are, guess what: also intelligent! And not trying to change them! On The Big Bang Theory, the characters have more depth than anything we've been presented with on Two and a Half Men. The laughs come after a well crafted, intelligent line is delivered with the perfect mix of believability and comedic timing...there's nothing slap stick about it. The Big Bang Theory is one of those rare sitcoms on air today that holds its viewers in high esteem. The show assumes its viewers are intelligent, which is why It allows itself to be smart and funny at the same time. For this, it should be celebrated.

Memorable Lines:
“We’re going to put Leonard in a long distance relationship with Priya — and we made that good and messy, too,” says Prady. Couple that set-up with the fact that Penny (Kaley Cuoco) still has feelings for her brainy ex, and the result is “Leonard with two women and no sex,” Prady chuckles.
“It winds up putting romantic things on hold for a while, and gives us a chance to get back to some good, nerdy storytelling,” says Prady. “We can get silly again.”

[KN]: I think the five of them—and now even adding Mayim as Amy and Melissa Rauch—are good people. When you watch the show, when you watch these people, it’s funny and you laugh and stuff but you love these people. These are good people. There’s no malice. They’re horrible liars. They don’t do anything intentionally to hurt each other. It’s not that sort of gossip-mongering, mean people to each other. They’re genuinely nice. I think that’s a big reason of success for the show because people like them. If you like someone, you’re going to invite them to your home, right? So, I think that’s been one of the reasons of our success because they are really likable characters.
