[Closed] The Big Bang Theory

I've always found The Big Bang Theory to be hilarious. 🙂

me too. not sure why but I always enjoy it.

Yup.

Took a while to find its feet, but Cougar approves.

Yep - currently working my way through the S1 - 4 box set.

There's a box set? Oink.

Yup - the guy who plays Sheldon (Jim Parsons?) is a comic genius i reckon. Although the premise of the show is based around the bloke with glasses it's the Sheldon character that steals every scene.

It doesn't hurt that the young lady who plays Penny is rather attractive as well, mind you i do think she has good comic timing as well.

Is it me, or does the fiancee of the Jewish Engineer chap look to be turning into his mother? Guess that's another in-joke for the show 🙂

Loving season 5 Sheldon has gone a bit darker.

One of the funniest shows ever.

Agree with all above, script, casting, characterisation and timing are all brilliant.

Yup, about the only comedy I enjoy on TV these days.

seem to be able to watch the repeats without getting bored as very funny, penny penny penny penny was hot in 8 simple rules also

also a fan.

Dud, she was a kid then! 😯

(actually i have no idea how old she is!)

EDIT: Seems she started filming 8 simple rules when she was 17, hmmmm 👿

We in the Bouy household are mahooosive fans of it. It was MrsBouy who introduced it to me, when she did i thought she was some kind of science geek, until we shared a bottle or two over the very first few episodes..

Hilarious, loving Sheldon coming out of his shell a bit now, more sarcasm please and lets see how he can develop some kind of cynical muhaha kinda laugh.

Kuthrapali too, "can't talk to girls unless drunk" How many men are actually like that...

does the fiancee of the Jewish Engineer chap

Can I request no spoilers please? I'm still working through season 2..!

I like it now. I used to find it really annoying but I think its got better, or I've got geeky enough to find it funny.

Bestest thing tho is the cameos. Anders and Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica. Inspired !

Loved it from episode one

I'm in love with Melissa Rauch

Amy Farrah Fowler, woof.
Very funny show, smart & up to date.

It's the only thing I go out of my way to watch these days. Sheldon in the ball pool actually made me spray dinner all over the place.

Love it. Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler are great characters.

Wow - it seems success does bring its rewards !

from wiki
"[i]In September 2010, Parsons and costars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco signed new contracts, guaranteeing each of them $200,000 per episode for the fourth season of The Big Bang Theory, with substantial raises for each of the next three seasons. The three were also promised a percentage of the show's earnings[/i]"

Amy Farrah Fowler, woof.

And bizarrely, the actress, after being tv's Blossom, got a doctorate in neuroscience.

Love it. It's something I'll always seek out on a plane, and chuckle happily at it.

It's not rude, or offensive. It's just funny. I like that.

Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty.......

me and the misses try not to miss it always gives me the chuckles 😀

Love the tags, by the way! Superb!

I dont find it side splitting funny but I do really like it. One of the few things I watch. As said above Sheldon steals it.

superb,

the mechanical tongue scene, priceless.

Bazinga. Love it now though I was once a Big Bang hater but having watched after season one and understanding what it was about I now 'get it'! Very funny.

agree that Sheldon makes the show, no doubt.

Bazinga 😆

Best thing on TV at the moment.

The one where they camp out to watch the meteor shower is pure comic genius 😆

From within the academic setting I find it rather close to reality 🙂

Wolowitz is my favourite 😆

Sheldons religious ma is a good character, in fact all the parents are amusing too

im obviously alone in the world but i think its a bit crap

Big fan. Favourite episode is when Sheldon has his tantrum in the comic store.

I call one of the kids in my A-level class "Sheldon" he told his mother, she watched the show and laughed all the way through, she now calls him Sheldon.

Bazinga

Love it!!!!

Eeeexcellent.

At the risk of a thread derailment / tangent, do you all watch Chuck as well?

To my embarrassment I've only seen the first episode, but it's been on my radar for a long time as something I'll enjoy. Seems to have the same sort of geek humour as TBBT.

Eg, he spends most of the pilot ep with plasters on the ends of his fingers. Later there's a party and he's finally, shyly talking to the girl he has a crush on. She asks him about his fingers, has he been in an accident? Oh, no, he says, new Call of Duty.

Probably loses something in translation but it made me think "we shall do well here."

The Big Bang episode where Sheldon is in the Ball Pit was the best ever, I could watch that over and over.

Mrs Busydog and I both think it is a truly funny show--genius in it's humor.
Sheldon has some cool t-shirts as well

Yep, TBBT is proper funny. Very clever in its attention to detail and with excellent dialogue.

Don't get to watch it as much as I used to though 🙁

+1 love it, even got my 9yr old singing the theme tune!!
