Do you identify this TV series?

Here are the clues, let's see who gets it right:

1.- There are 4 main characters. You could say they are not "like everyone else", but they feel superior, or at least different.

2.- One of them, you could say the leader, is tall and thin, he's a doctor who works at a university. The actor has earned several awards for playing this role.

3.- Another character is a bit direct with the opposite sex, even aggresive in this regard so to speak.

4.- One of them has communication issues.

5.- The last one is a bit... mmm... tender? Like a child, perhaps.

6.- One of these 4 characters goes out with a blond who teaches him what the rest of humanity normally does.

7.- An actor from "Star Trek" appears regularly on the show, not from the very beginning, but in later seasons.

8.- The show has some cuts between scenes where they show "spheres in orbit", but this detail may be overlooked.

9.- The shortest character's girlfriend is also blond.

Clue: It's not "The Big Bang Theory". I'm talking about another TV show... but with so many similarities, they may have copied it to some point, right?
