• Question: who is more awesome Barney Stinson a.k.a Neil Patrick Harris or Dr Sheldon Lee Cooper a.k.a Jim Parsons? I think some of you will say Sheldon because he is a physicist.

      I don’t actually watch either How I Met Your Mother or Big Bang Theory, sorry, although I do know those characters come from those shows. I actually find both of them quite annoying, but I’ll put my vote in for Sheldon because I find him slightly funnier than Barney. I probably prefer a couple of the other characters in How I Met Your Mother over anyone in Big Bang Theory though.

      I think you’re right f1nn! I really love Sheldon! I know someone who has felt awkward in the past because he struggles with social issues (he also loves physics) but having a character like Sheldon on TV has actually helped him feel a little more proud of his personality and he doesn’t mind when people tell him he’s quite like him! I do also like Barney Stinson…but my vote goes to Sheldon ‘cos he’s representin’ science!

      I don’t get to watch too much TV I’m afraid so I don’t really know How I met Your Mother. I have seen a few episodes of the Big Bang Theory, so I will have to go with Sheldon on that basis. Although my favourite TV scientist has to be Professor Frink from the Simpsons.
