I can't remember Audrey's first scene either, but I do know she got on my nerves rather than amused me when I watched the show for the first time. Which is a problem I often have in watching spoiled/arrogant/etc people in (especially comedy) shows: I either get annoyed as hell or embarrassed in the character's place. *g* The main reason why, for example, I'm physically incapable of watching "The Office" - I can't make it through half a minute of that show without cringing. One hour, and I'm ripe for therapy. ;) Fortunately Audrey was hardly that bad - and I'm glad she never lost her rough edges entirely, even after "softening up" later in the series. :)
Dale (Twin Peaks) Cooper and Sheldon (Big Bang Theory) Cooper - oh, even naming these two in the same sentence is wrong wrong wrong as they couldn't be more different, LOL. (Unless one argues that Dale Cooper also has some slight autistic tendencies, such as the tape recorder compulsion, but compared to Sheldon, good ol'Dale is about the normalest guy on the planet, oh yes!) About The Big Bang Theory - I'd say someone liking sci-fi, gaming and comics has a pretty good chance of loving the show. :) And if perchance you have a bit of a scientific or research-related background, I daresay it's even funnier. For my husband and me it's hilarious because we both worked in a research lab at a theoretical physics department (the same department - it's where we first met :) ) and we're both pretty much invested in fannish stuff (über-geeks, don't tell me :) ) and all the characters and situations, however insane, are very recognizable. We often laugh at ourselves saying "oh my god, how terrible that we don't just understand the fannish jokes from the show, but even the ones about supercolliders and string theory, great big geeks that we are!" *g* But I gather the show has a pretty big audience in the States (otherwise it would hardly have won an Emmy, I guess), so it can hardly only be popular with the fannish and/or sciencegeeky communities. Anyway, yes, I'm joining the chorus of people who are recommending it very much! And Youtube has heaps of clips from the series that are great for getting a first impression. Like the one below, where they play a game of "Klingon Boggle". *g*
