Sheldon Cooper. Have you heard of him? He is the main character on the TV show, The Big Bang Theory. The idea is that these super smart scientists band together and create their own peer group; the equivalent of the kids they would sit with at the lunch table in elementary school. As an audience, we are cheering for them as they find the acceptance as adults that they were missing as children. We root for them to overcome their various issues and learn to interact with the larger community to form satisfying relationships. As the show progresses, they have more or less success with this adventure. While TV is certainly not reality, there are bits and pieces of it that we see and can relate to either from our own experiences or those of our friends and family. It would not be so successful if we had nothing in common as viewers.
