The Big Bang Theory

[author3]

Okay today I watched the second and third episodes of season one and I can clearly see that the humour and characters are definitely getting better.I've also come to the decision that so far Howard is my least favourite character and Sheldon is my favourite although he is a little creepy.

On Friday I'll be watching episode 4 and maybe episode 5

I love the Big Bang Theory, tho I think my temp crush on Sheldon has eased off now . I think we started watching it in series 2 so it was quite good to go back and watch it from the start with lots of 'oh I see, that's where that comes from' moments

Amy Fowler - so funny

Anyone else think that Leonard looks like a geeky Bono and Raj looks like a certain other scientist... Prof Brian Cox..look...

[BobtheDrog]

the brian cox one is pretty spot on, less sure about Bono

True Leonard is much less of a nerd than Bono

[BobtheDrog]

and a lot less annoying (attempting to quell anti bono rant)

And Leonard is taller.

and pays taxes to the country he lives in

Whats the difference between Bono and Jesus?

Jesus doesn't think he's Bono.

Amy Fowler (Sheldon's "a friend who is a girl; not a girlfriend") is played by Malik Bialik, a very interesting person.

Bialik's character is a neurobiologist, which corresponds to Bialik's real-life educational pursuits, as described below.
Prior to her joining the cast in the episode "The Bat Jar Conjecture," Raj suggests recruiting the real-life Bialik to their Physics Bowl team, saying "You know who’s apparently very smart, is the girl who played TV’s Blossom. She got a PhD in neuroscience or something."

On March 6, 2012, her book, "Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way" was released.


Personal life

Hayim Nahman Bialik, Israel's national poet, was Mayim Bialik's great-great-grandfather's uncle.

Bialik attended Walter Reed Junior High School in North Hollywood, CA, located in the San Fernando Valley. At the end of Blossom, she chose to attend UCLA, although she also had been accepted to both Harvard and Yale. She stated that she wanted to stay close to her parents and did not want to move to the East Coast. She earned a bachelor's degree in 2000 in neuroscience, Hebrew, and Jewish studies, and went on to the PhD program in neuroscience.
She took a break from studies in 2005 to return to acting. Bialik completed her PhD in 2008. Her dissertation was an investigation of Prader-Willi syndrome.

Prader what syndrome???

Is that about guys who buy handbags or girls who buy handbags because they don't have a guy in their life?

[Bouncy Castle]

It's about people with a disease that means they can't tell when their stomach is full, and they just eat, and eat, and eat.

I sadly won't be able to watch episode 4 today or tomorrow so I'll watch them on Sunday

Yeah. I am a dedicated "clicker". Get totally sidetracked while looking for ONE thing. Ended up reading that whole thing about the Prader-Willi syndrome.

Me too, I adore Sheldon I would totally adopt him, quirks and all. I looooove the series.

[Catch-up]

As long as I don't think too hard about the fact they are grown men I can watch it. The one with the Korean child genius is very funny. Also when Sheldon tries to fight Leonard using mind control is hilarious but sad because, is he being serious?? Sheldon is definitely a stand out. His relationship with his religious mother is well done. Whereas Howard and his mother, while I get the joke, is just disturbing.

Sheldon's mother is hysterical! And, I agree about Howard and his mom.

Haven't gotten to the episodes with Sheldon and his girlfriend yet, though I've heard they're great. Sheldon definitely makes me laugh the most. Still have a bit of a crush on Leonard.
