The Big Bang Theory

[pip]

Ooh, you luurrrve her! Well she's given it up to be an actress, so maybe she's not really your type.

One quote I love:
Zack: You know, I saw this great thing on the Discovery Channel. Turns out if you kill a starfish it'll just come back to life.
Sheldon: Was the starfish wearing boxer shorts? Because you might have been watching Nickelodeon.

Love that episode. The Grand Canyon scene at the end is one of the funniest thingsa i've ever seen.

I also read that the actress who plays Sheldon's 'girlfriend' later in the series (I've only watched a few series 1 episodes so far) is a neuroscientist in real life. Already married, too.

Sheldon is asexual so he can't have a girlfriend

It's complicated, apparently. I did put girlfriend in inverted commas.

[pip]

it's quite a weird setup. you'll have to get all the way to series 4 to find out . Some classic scenes between her , penny and howards girlfriend bernadette.
All ahead of you my friend

Been watching it whenever its on but am sure I've missed a load.

Ordered the box sets to confirm this and just started season 1 last night

[pip]

good plan Bickaxe. I've digital versions of the three series and it makes more sense when its watched in sequence.

OMG Q! You have only STARTED watching The Big Bang Theory? You are in for a wonderful treat.... it just gets better and better.

Its a bit like DW.... hard to chose a favourite character or bit. I have just read these posts... and its like "Oh Yeah! I LOVE that episode... Oh! AND that one.... yeah hat bit was hilarious!" So much to enjoy Q.

You know.. there are ALOT of very intelligent people out there Q. (Yes girls too) I think thats why the series is so successful. Alot of "normal" folks GET the more subtle "science related" puns and jokes.

I love "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock!"

Welp, I've watched pretty much all of the first two series, and about half of the third series.

I watched the season finale. The phrase 'WTF' springs to mind.

Yup, and not in a good way.

I liked the first season of BBT, and the second one too. It became a bit stale after that, a one-joke show about Sheldon. Amy Farrah Fowler was a wonderful addition and freshened it up a bit.
The season finale feels way too much like a standard sitcom plot, where the writers don't have any ideas about plots anymore so just start throwing characters in the sack with each other. Still, it must be hard for american writers with their 26-episode seasons to keep things original.

23 episodes with this series.

Well, I did think WTF in a good way, but not good-good. Just, 'oh, that's...yeah'.

I heard it was renewed for a further three years. Personally, I think that it has two good years left, tops.

The Simpsons jumped the shark a decade ago.
