I haven't liked a TV show this much since Friends! It's very similar in a lot of ways, for example, Leonard and Penny are like Ross and Rachel in both relationship ways and personality ways, which is why it is so entertaining (leonard even has a similar hairstyle that David Schwimmer had and same with Penny and Jennifer Aniston). Sheldon is sort of like Chandler, Amy is like Monica, Bernadette is like Phoebe, and Howard is like Joey. Raj is sorta there to be funny like Gunther. So, if you liked Friends, you will definitely like this show. Also, I like how it promotes showing your smarts and that nerdiness isn't something to be ashamed of. It shows that geeks can be charming, funny, sexy, and entertaining.
