My reaction to that photo was the same as Penny's.
The Big Bang Theory - Season 3 Page 5
I've only seen the two episodes aired on E4 so far and it's great to have it back! The Leonard/Penny story is interesting.

SACRILEGE!

Exemplary conduct. Thanks.

But still kiiiind of true. I really like the show, but it would only be about one fifth as funny without the Sheldon character. He's all the other characters amount of funny put together and timesed by a very high number indeed.
Sheldon is my favourite, but the show needs all of them!

Well yeah, otherwise it'd just be Sheldon sat quietly in a room! 
He might talk to himself a bit.
Whenever I see the American depiction of geeks and nerds, it strikes me that they don't really look that nerdy compared to the British versions. Their nerds just look like regular UK folk. Sheldon actually looks pretty cool, like he should be the frontman for Joy Division or something.
Ha, yes true.
Leonard looks a bit more geeky and shambolic, but they could easily all be in a band.

He is bloody funny, but I disagree to the extent.
Sheldon is easily the best character though.
I do love this show and whilst I agree that Sheldon is the best character, he can't exist in a vacuum.
The will they / won't they dynamic between Leonard and Penny seems to have been resolved fairly quckly - so expect them to split up and start dating other people whilst still holding a flame for each other, probably.
Either that or Penny becomes Yoko - though they did that storyline with one of Leonard's ex-girlfriends.
I'd like Walowitz to come into his own a bit more, after Sheldon he is the next most interesting character.
As always, I'm amazed how they can pack in a storyline, characterisation and so many gags into 22 minutes.

Few can.
