snick_backupNuRoommate likes The Big Bang Theory. Thus far, I do not like The Big Bang Theory; not only is the depiction of nerdity totally alien to my experience and not a little offensive, but the one episode I saw managed to be offensive about Christians, too. I am not optimistic.
But. The packaging for season three has the following to say:
Now, the hypotenuse is the long side of a right triangle (ie, a tringle with one square corner). So: Leonard-Penny-Sheldon vs. Leonard-Sheldon-Penny!
This second description sounds unlikely to me, based on what I know of American TV, but hey, that's the sitch, yo. The math says so. They're vying, even. WHICH WILL IT BE? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT.
(Fans of the show are welcome to weigh in now.)

A love affair with Penny has opened a big, wide, wonderful world of romance for Leonard. But Sheldon likes the world just the way it was, thank you. All of which makes for a zany comic triangle for brainy, clueless Sheldon and practical, grounded Penny hilariously vying for role of hypotenuse.
