I don't know if this is the right place to raise this or not, but this article got me thinking and inspired me to think about one of my favourite TV shows, "The Big Bang Theory". I thought about how sitcoms work and how good ensemble comic acting makes or breaks them, and then I started searching h2g2 to see if anyone's written an Entry on TBBT. Unless I've been searching in the wrong places there's nothing at the moment, which is really surprising.
