Big Bang Theory

Anybody watch it? It's a pretty funny show.

 

[ITL]

Yes I do, and yes it is.

I did but starting this season I doubt that I'll be watching (it's on opposite Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).

You need a dvr. I don't know how I ever lived without one.

Yeah, it's great. I'm waiting to hear from people who claim it's degrading to nerds.

Preach on honey! It's worth ever cent!

Seems like we have some nights that there are 4 things on and then other nights where there's nothing on that we watch. The DVR is great for sanity. And when you think about it, it really cuts down how much you watch TV; for each show, you're 42 minutes in front of the TV instead of an hour, it definitely adds up.

On topic, I really think sitcoms are pretty much shit anymore but I watched this one night, I'm still not sure why, and I'm glad I did. It really is a good show.

Both of my dvr's are free, so I don't pay for them. My fiancee works for the cable company, and we get the whole premium package for $0 a month. On Demand, all the channels except the porn ones up in the 500's, internet, a dvr for each tv, etc. I never get tired of telling people about that, either.
But yeah, dvr's are awesome. Although I frequently find myself thinking that I can rewind or pause the radio, or movies in theater. It messes with your head in that way.

Best new sitcom on TV!

I hope it lasts. Seems almost too good to be on for long.

I only hope that now the "climax" has been reached on the whole Penny/Leonard thing that they can finally move on to something else.

 

[Ptrope]

Great show! I even turned my friends onto it, who don't normally watch sitcoms - we had two marathons, watching half of the season each time, and now they're buying Sheldon's t-shirts .

I love the interaction between Penny and Sheldon - sometimes, she barely tolerates him, and he's so socially inept, he doesn't even realize it. But at least he's got a smokin' hot twin sister!

Wait...what happened? I was on vacation during the last 2 new episodes.

Penny breaks up with her boyfriend after he posted intimate details about her on his blog. Leonard goes to comfort her and in doing so accidentally convinces her to get back with her boyfriend. As Leonard laments the situation to the guys, Penny returns and screams at Leonard, saying he made things worse. He tries again and she apologizes; saying it wasn't his fault. However when she went over to make up she found her boyfriend had already moved on.

As Penny laments her choices in men Leonard awkwardly asks her on a real date. Penny thinks for a moment and agrees saying, "Sure, why not?". A few days pass and both Leonard and Penny are worried that this date will ruin their friendship. They both seek Sheldon's advice. Sheldon advises Penny that “just like Schrödinger's cat being alive or dead at same time” her date with Leonard currently has both “good and bad” possible outcomes. The only way to find out is to “open the box”, or in other words to go on the date and find which outcome it is. Leonard is also given the same advice, and understands it right away.

When Leonard arrives to pick Penny up for their date she says they need to talk. Leonard asks her if she has ever heard of Schrödinger's cat and when she says she has, he passionately kisses her. Penny says "the cat's alive" and they leave for dinner.

Meanwhile, Sheldon asks Wolowitz to teach him Mandarin as he's convinced the Chinese restaurant is selling 'Orange Chicken' as 'Tangerine Chicken'...a lesser citrus. He doesn't become very good at it, and as a result the owner (James Hong) thinks he's crazy due to his mistranslations ("Oxen are in my bed! Many, many oxen!"). It appears Leonard and Penny were going to go to this restaurant on their date but when they see Sheldon fighting with the owner they leave before entering.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, basically. They just decide to go out and that's the "cliffhanger".
