Also, I have found that one does not have to be intelligent to be incompetent.

I agree Ray in more ways than one with your comments here. I love watching the show and find it pretty much sums up quite a few people I know. Some are socially challenged (I know all about that), some cannot cope well with simple things like paying bills and some struggle with intimate relationships. Yet those people are fantastically brilliant and it just highlights that we all have our talents and all have our foibles. The Big Bang Theory is just a demonstration of how life really is. It is a clever comedy, with interesting characters and story lines. It shows how even the simple things in life which many take for granted are very hard for some people in our world.
