The Big Bang Theory

[deldaisy]

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.

Just finished watching season 3. I'm still enjoying it.

Like the extra bits on the DVD, provides a bit more insight into the goings=on in the show.

Can't remember much of the first half of season 4 but will get it all on DVD as soon as its released anyway.

Oh, I disagree with Sheldon on that point. I don't mind spoilers, because to me, much of the enjoyment is in the journey, not the destination. At least when it comes to stories.

I totally agree..... "spoilers" never spoil it for me.... TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME! I will STILL enjoy the movie/show/book.

Though... I had my last daughter at the same time as "The Sixth Sense" came out, and the day after, I broke my pelvis so was house bound for months after with mobility issues. Everyone I knew had seen the movie in the cinema and they vowed to keep the secret from me until it was available on DVD and they did! Thank the gods they DID! That was one secret I needed kept from me.

In a way it was a double pleasure for them too.... since they ALL knew the night I had it out on DVD and the phone lit up after I had watched it with them calling me and raving about the movie.

Finished watching the third series. Great end with Sheldon getting a "girlfriend", but is it me, or is Penny being a bit dicky to Leonard?

 

[deldaisy]

Penny is the SANE one dear.

 

[Quatermass]

Penny is the SANE one dear.

Actually, I thought of Leonard as the (usually) sane one (which is amazing, considering his parents). Believe me, Penny has moments that make me wonder.

 

[deldaisy]

Okay.... let me rephrase that....

Penny is the only one totally in touch with reality.

 

[Quatermass]

Yeah, but as everyone knows, reality is twisted and warped, even outside a TV sitcom.

 

[pip]

Okay.... let me rephrase that....

Penny is the only one totally in touch with reality.

As the series has gone on the more i question this. She lives in a dreamland where shes an actress but has never actually got a job, Is a bit of a tramp and resorts to alcohol and shopping to deal with a crappy life.
Leonard on the other hand is a much more stable individual. He's Quirky and a nerd, she's just nuts.

Not to mention considering his god-awful upbringing. I'd sooner have Sheldon's mother than Leonard's. I hate fundamentalists with a passion, but at least she's warm and loving.
