11 Times Leonard Was Secretly the Best Part of 'The Big Bang Theory'

Moviefone
April 28, 2017 - 1 min read

Don't underestimate the subtle wit and geeky quirks of Dr. Leonard Hofstadter. Sheldon may get a lot of the big laughs, but we want to take time to recognize the sneaky greatness of everyone's favorite lactose-intolerant experimental physicist. Here are 11 times he stole the "The Big Bang Theory" show. 

When he owned his nerdiness

When he was aware of the most important ways to spend one's time

When his Sheldon burns were on point

When he and Penny were #relationshipgoals

When his taste in people (and Avengers) was top notch

When he knew the binge-watching struggle was real

When he knew his worth

When his superfandom was adorable

When he was all of us

When he made this face

When his love for Harry Potter made him even cooler
