Just finished S1 of this show...so good. Instabought S2.

Whats up with the next ep being next week and not this?

A week without TBBT makes me a sad panda

My guess is something having to do with 2 1/2 men. Sheen went into rehab so they had to halt production temporarily. CBS execs probably dont want to have reruns of one show and new eps of the other so they will give time for 2 1/2 men to catch up. Just a guess.

This show is sorely underrated imo.

it's one of the highest rated shows this year in terms of viewers. might be THE highest watched sitcom.

TBBT is the highest rated scripted show on television - definitely not underrated. It pulls more viewers than CSI, House, Grey's Anatomy, etc...

I always love reading that.

The geek have inherited the earth.

Sheldon is such a great character that it's not just geeks that are watching it. My friend is a mechanic with no science background past grade 10, and he loves the show. Lots of soft science majors that I know like it as well.

That is exactly the point.

I mean if someone had said in 2000 that a show about a time travelling island, a remake of Battlestar Galactica and a sitcom about theoretical physicists would be 3 of the biggest shows of the decade no one would have believed it. Also Heroes was big but then became ****, but the point stands there to.

Your mechanic friend or his equiv would have never "stooped" to watching such a show just a few years ago but not TBBT is the biggest show out there that isnt celebrity dancing on stars with ice.

To be honest about the show, the original premise was probably terrible. But the writing and character interaction has gelled in an odd way. Somehow they manage to attract classes from morons to eggheads without offending anyone along the way. And the scenarios they set up, I start laughing my ass off sometimes just part way through the setup.

oh sheldon i love you

Not as good as the last couple of eps. Still the best show on TV right now though.

both this and himym were meh tonight, sheldon though is brilliant, that dude can really act.

I thought this episode was fantastic

Also given the talk about laugh track in this thread I thought the Chuck Lorre card at the end was pretty amusing

Based on his interviews, I don't think he's stretching that far?

Love the show, episode wasn't that great. I think they could've done a lot more with Sheldon drunk, using a 'Uranus' joke? C'mon.

Tbh that entire part of the show soured the ep for me. Sheldon sings Russian folk songs when drunk, not tells extremely crappy low brow jokes. He would (badly) tell jokes about spherical cows, not show his arsehole and make a crude 4th grade pun.

Loved the Sim City bit

You must not watch Community.

Modern Family is a good deal better imo

Community is about 30 times better than modern family.

bump for Wil Wheaton episode tonight

finally some new episodes. I've been needed my sheldon & kunther fix

Koothrappali.

Wil Wheaton = Sheldon ep start to finish.

This show has noticeably changed to being Sheldon centric. He is great, but id happily take some more stuff with the other four. Too much of a good thing mixed with i really like all the characters and dont want this to become the Sheldon show.

Been thinking on it recently, the Trek analogy the show made in season 2 is shockingly accurate. Leonard is Kirk the braver (lol all relative) natural leader who bangs the green alien Penny, Sheldon is Spock the smartest of them struggling with human customs who is an insider/outsider of the group, Raj is the random guy in red who is helpful for the story and is usually used as a sacrifice to move it along and he also doesnt need to speak to perform his role and finally Howard is Scotty because, err, yeah. Like Trek Leonard/Kirk was meant to be the star however viewers preferred Sheldon/Spock. However where it falls down is despite how much more popular he was they didnt change Trek in the show or the later films to dedicate more time to Spock. It worked because Spock/Sheldon bounces off the more normal Kirk/Leonard. Too much Sheldon i can see being a bad thing, sooner or later i can see it jumping the shark.
