CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" continues to be hilarious.
Plus, I also think Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon, is sort of cute. I now sound like a gay teenager.

1. I love that show.
I hate that it's on Mondays opposite Top Gear.

I REALLY love that they have Sara Gilbert come on the show now and again. flvegan seriously digs Sara Gilbert.

3. A million problems.
All of which can be fixed by simply getting TIVO.

4. I already DVR it. I just wish it wasn't on opposite the other show.
I look forward to both.

13. I'm glad Sara Gilbert is a regular now.
Her character is a great addition to the show. It's so reminsencent of her and Johnny Galecki on "Roseanne".

BTW: I've had the show's theme song as an earworm. Curse Barenaked Ladies and their addictive theme song. :-)

2. I love the show and never get home in time to catch it
My personal take is that Sheldon and Penny will end up together one day.

12. I wouldn't be opposed to a Sheldon/Penny hookup.
After last night's episode, I'm diggin' their dynamic much more than the Leonard/Penny one.

I caught Jim Parsons (Sheldon) on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show the other night. He's adorable. I now have a crush:

7. I think that show's a riot too.
It's a can't-miss show for a friend of mine, a chemical engineer, who says the characters remind him of the kids he used to know when he was in school.

9. I work at Warner Bros. and they shoot that show at the stage right next to
the building I work in.

I always see the guys on the show outside hanging out.

10. I'm not into blonde bimbos, but I think Penny is both very hot and
very appealing. I'm rooting for Leonard to make up with her, but if she and Sheldon have some crazed bizarre hook-up, I'm cool with that, too. B-)

17. She's not a bimbo!
She's a hardworking young woman, who's not afraid to socialize and make friends with her neighbors, who are, let's admit it, slightly geeky. Come on!

20. Indeed.
So good, in fact, that she personally added 5 additional simple rules, bringing the show up to its eventual total of 8. :P

11. They really gotta do something aobut the laugh track though
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 11:14 PM by Bennyboy
It is so annoying. Too loud. maybe I am gettng to enjoy shows without it, but this one has been so loud it takes away the enjoyment for me somewhat.

I do love the show though. Funny stuff.

14. I suspect that Jim Parsons also knows what being a gay teenager is like.

15. Another vote for nerd humor.
I called my son at college after the show's premiere: "You just have to watch this new show!" Still my favorite joke: Sheldon's Doppler Effect costume.

Glad to know I was not alone in my TV crush.

21. I gave it a few tries
but it was acted too stiff and 'sit-commy' for me to really get into it.

Have they found a groove yet?
