The official plot synopsis for the premiere episode of Scorpion, reads:

“Computer genius Walter O'Brien and his equally brilliant friends investigate high-tech crimes. In the opener, Walter and his misfit colleagues are hired by the government to solve a crisis at the Los Angeles airport that leaves dozens of planes unable to land.”

The series will premiere tonight after the return of the hit comedy, The Big Bang Theory. Scorpion's theme of genius minds paired with a waitress, have drawn some comparisons to The Big Bang Theory as executive producer Nick Santora told reporters at the Television Critics Association fall previews(via TV Guide):

“The truth is while breaking the show and the characters and coming up with ideas that kind of all came together, it was brought up at some point by someone at CBS who said, 'Oh, wow, this is like Big Bang Theory in the field,’ And so I went, 'Yeah, it is.' [I was] smart enough to fake it and lie."

Check out the all new series tonight at 9:00 p.m. on CBS. What do you think of the show’s premise? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
