'Big Bang Theory' First Look: It's geek versus geek!

Who makes a better superhero, Howard Wolowitz or Raj Koothrappali? EW snagged this exclusive first look from the Dec. 9 episode of The Big Bang Theory in which the two characters (played by the brilliant Simon Helberg and equally hilarious Kunal Nayyar) try to figure out which one has the right (or should we say better?) stuff. They test each other with various challenges. We may have to go with Koothrappali in this one. Look at that intensity!

    “Equally hilarious Kunal Nayyar”? I read your “Big Bang” post a few weeks about how much money they’re all making — stop trying to get Nayyar Wolowitz money! It’s not going to happen!

    • psyche

      see, and I would be happy if wolowitz went away forever and Raj got 20% more screen time… so, to each his own :)

    • Liv

      I would rather they pay Nayyar more. I think Raj is one of the best characters on the show. I hope Raj wins this fight.

      • Mel

        I have to respectfully disagree. Howard makes me laugh more than any other character. All in all, BBT is a great show! Looks like it could be a funny episode.

  • Meg

    My favorite part is Leonard in the background, obviously whining like a little bit- witch.

  • zombiehunter

    love the big bang theory but there is only one show you should be watching december 9th at 8pm: COMMUNITY! stop-motion christmas episode!

    but FWIW, raj would be the better superhero. as long as his sidekick isn’t a female.

    • Zombie Jesus

      Agree on Community, the laugh track on this show is unbearable.

      • Richard Whitman

        Exactly. I love being told what’s funny and when to laugh by a laugh track. It makes me feel like sheep. Baaa-aaa-aaa!

      • steph

        except it’s not a laugh track. BBT is filmed in front of an audience….

      • Dave

        plus … Community is absolutely un-laughable. Horrible show.

      • THERE IS NO LAUGH TRACK

        If you like Community then watch it. Get your facts straight, however.

    • zombiehunter

      community and BBT are just two different kinds of humor. I think community is more adult/subtle than BBT. BBT’s stereotyped geeks annoy me sometimes though. there’s not a lot of character development.

  • Amanda Kiwinerd

    Ugh! This show is such lowest common denominator garbage.

    • jmo

      Pbbbbbt! :*P

    • DGH

      Anyone who starts a sentence with “Ugh” shouldn’t be taken serious!!!!

      • Leiten

        Nor should anyone that uses “serious” as an adverb.

  • steph

    I love Raj. Those shorts are just…majestic.

  • K_Sull

    Why does Wolowitz have a camel toe?

    • Cindi

      I thought it was called “moose knuckle”.

  • Chappel

    What is the name of the episode? Howard’s cameltoe?

  • Norcalgal

    Say what you want, I’M WATCHING….

  • claudenorth

    They could never have Leonard wear a wrestling singlet because of Johnny Galecki’s very un-nerd-like hot body.

    • bootsycolumbia

      Raj’s bod ain’t bad either.;)

  • Sue1

    I’ll be watching (at 9:00pm, on my DVR, after Bones).I love the show, but I would never tell someone a prefer s*cks.

    • Sue1

      **A show they prefer**
      Da*m keyboard.

  • Truthhurts

    It’s a shame community is losing out to this show. I watch bbt but community is soooo much better. For all you folks watching bbt over community you really need to dvr bbt and watch community. No show makes really laugh out loud like community does sure bbt is funny but its like comparing cheese whiz(bbt) to fresh slices of cheese(community). If for no other reason then you dont have to listen to the endless laugh track of bbt and all other chuck lorre shows.

  • ff

    With all due respect, stop bashing TBBT, I don´t care about community, I´ve seen it a couple of times but I prefer TBBT, and you guys wont change my mind and the mind of 15 millions of people so stop complaining about it, I remember the times when people used to say that TBBT was one of the smartest shows on tv, but now that they have ratings seems the opposite, seems like some people don’t like to be happy

  • RobK

    BBT is okay, but I grew tired of the characters week after week. Without Jim Parson’s Sheldon character the show would be zero.
    Community is like a PG version of Gilligan’s Island and gets better as it goes on because the characters are far more dynamic. I usually catch BBT online since the move to thurs.
