The Big Bang Theory

[Sirena]

Sheldon is brilliant. I read on Wikipedia that when he had done his audition and been cast, they called him back anyway for a second audition because they couldn't believe how good he was. I think he carries the other characters to a great extent.

 

[gabi]

Yeh, he's the mainstay.

i like the fact that i have no idea what any of the actors' names are too... unlike certain other big sitcoms.

 

[Chz]

Mostly. But I still call Amy Whatsherface "Blossom" most of the time.

The show's in decline now, but at least it's a very gentle one. It's a pity the writers never got more use out of Leonard's old girlfriend from "Roseanne" - I like her.

I could swear his ears were actually pointy in an episode the other day.

 

[Sirena]

Ah, you see, the magic of great acting....

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

I have to agree. I think it's brilliantly written. And a perfect ensemble cast.

Bit horrified to see that the actor who plays Sheldon is in the new Muppets movie. I dont think he should be allowed to act in anything else.

He was wonderful in the muppet film and he was only in it for the length of one song. It was almost the perfect use of him.

Sadly I'm looking forward to next weeks big bang night on e4

 

[gabi]

me too

(there's gonna be some backstage stuff)

 

[gentlegreen]

I think I've seen most of them now thanks to the Xmas repeats - a lot of them more than once - and though I still habitually watch when I get home, I quite often have to change channel before the "train crashes".
I still can't believe I only got into it this year - especially with the Roseanne actors in it ...

 

[D'wards]

New series tonight on E4 at 8pm, Sheldore fans...

 

[starfish]

Its still got it

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Watching episode 4 right now. Wife just taking a hot water bottle break.

 

[gabi]

These are on the torrents ten minutes after they're shown in the US. We're already up to episode 7.

Howards mother is blates the best character

S6ep7 is back to the old form. Brilliant! And Amy and Bernadette aren't in it. Coincidence...?

[freshnero]

I noticed the other night that Sheldon refereed to a fear of heights as 'vertigo', whereas is only the condition some people with a fear of heights (acrophobia) experience when they are high up. You can have vertigo sitting on the floor.

Vertigo is an inner ear condition casing dizziness and nausea

Yeah, exactly, what AS said (all those months back). I too was shocked that Sheldon got that wrong. I have acrophobia and know what it is, I also know what vertigo is, and I don't have the latter (except on one occasion when I had a nasty ear infection, not an experience I would like to repeat) and know the difference between the two.

The rot set in when those two appeared. It dies whenever they're on screen because they're shit and unfunny.

 

[Dooby]

I adore Amy

 

[gentlegreen]

And the scene in the restaurant with Sheldon was a classic - and very poignant.

 

[Supine]

I love the way this thread started a few years ago with everyone hating the prog. It's definitely grown on me. Looking forward to catching some new episodes now!

 

[Sirena]

I'm still reeling from the news that Sheldon could have been wrong about vertigo......

 

[Helen Back]

I did, of course, mean ep8 - the latest one.

 

[Epona]

Anyone seen the Xmas episode?

Utter fucking brilliance, and at one point I might have been heard to utter the phrase "that's fucking brilliant, I wish Leonard was my Dungeon Master"

I've decided that the thing that is wrong with the show is Amy - as an original female geek (not one of these modern trendy hot ones), I just find her presence increasingly irritating - as a geek I relate to the male characters so much better, they are slightly exaggerated real people, but Amy isn't real in any sense - her character is a bad and over-inflated caricature that I find it difficult to relate to. If she left, the series would be so much better.

 

[gentlegreen]

I wonder if Amy came about because "TV's Blossom" was mentioned in an earlier episode ?

I find Bernadette worse.

Sheldon is in the recent movie flick Argo (co-incedently about a plot involving a Sci Fi film)...So weird him playing a non BBT role

 

[SpookyFrank]

Yeh, he's the mainstay.

i like the fact that i have no idea what any of the actors' names are too... unlike certain other big sitcoms.

I know Leonard is played by a bloke called Johnny Galecki, but I only know that because I saw a brilliant quote from him that someone postedon facebook, relating to rumours about him being gay:

He's one of those people where you kind of assume that the only way he could possibly be so good at playing a particular character is if he basically was that character in real life. I dunno how I'd feel about seeing him playing a different role...
