Ok here we go this is crazy long because i typed up everything i could possibly remember, most of it in the uber on the way back lol but if something doesnt make sense feel free to let me know. First scene howard and bernie she's getting scanned, the nurse asks if they want a boy or girl they say their first baby they really wanted a girl this time they just want it to be healthy, its a boy... turns out they did want a girl. Goes straight to the gang on the couch howard stressing he doesn't know how to raise a boy, eventually the convo goes to model rockets sheldon is happy. Amy asks if they've thought of names sheldon gets annoyed cause it took such a long time to get off the baby topic (essentially lol) Next it goes to penny and leonard hes complaining his star trek uniform has green paint on it penny says "well if you didn't make me wear the paint in bed" and he replies its worth it, as he leaves his skype goes off its beverly, penny answers they have a awkward conversation about what Beverly did the night before. Next it goes to howard, raj and sheldon in howards garage going through his model rockets. Howard and sheldon bond over their fathers but raj can't relate, his father gave him a car and holidays, so he goes in to see Bernadette. Howard suggests him and sheldon build a rocket together(its one his father gave him) sheldon says like a bonding experience and howard seems happy but sheldon says oh you think that's a good thing ( they did this scene so many times i dont think rajs joke was really getting the right reactions, they kept changing it, but jims facial expressions at the end had everyone losing it laughing) next it went inside to raj and Bernadette, shes sorting out Halleys old baby clothes to get rid of. Raj asks why they cant keep them for the new baby and Bernadette holds up a onsie that says daddys little girl on it raj says add magnet to the end and its good to use, next she holds up a red dress, he says take the tutu off and put a lightning bolt on it and it's baby flash and add another shirt underneath and its baby sheldon. Bernie says hes good at that (making the clothes suitable) and asked did he used to get his sisters hand me downs and raj looks all shifty eyed and agrees. Im a bit rough on the rest so i dont think its in order but it goes to sheldon and howard in the car talking about peanuts, then them in the desert ready for their rocket launch sheldon bickering during the countdown, the rocket explodes. Goes back to penny and beverly talking penny says they need a third girl to diss and beverly says isnt sheldons fiancé dower, penny says oooh dower meow. Then you see the boys in the desert trying to collect the pieces of the model rocket sheldon is listing reasons for something (i cant remember what sorry) Over to penny and leonard penny texting beverly she said beverly enjoys talking to her she thinks she reaching out to someone, leonard asks did she get tired of talking to the mirror on the wall, then penny says Beverly also told her that shes proud of her, leonard is upset cause shes never said that to him. Then we go to Bernadette and raj again, raj is on the sewing machine and they're chatting about her pregnancy, bernie says she had all brothers so thought it would be better if halley had a sister.Theres a line about a boy being either sensitive or rough but i cant really remember it but kunal was hilarious when he said it. Next is amy on the computer leonard walks in and complains that penny is talking to his mother, amy isnt really bothered until leonard asks if shes ok with penny having a new best friend. Amy says you can only have one best friend and its her, they both start talking about their problems with it, Amy thinks she's been neglecting penny because of work and wedding planning, it ends with Amy yelling why cant she just let me have my life (or something similar), this whole exchange was funny reminded me of early seasons Amy, she says good talk and leonard leaves. Back to sheldon and howard in the car, they're talking, sheldon asks to drive howard says he doesn't even have a license, sheldon says he does, hes had it for 3 years and was on a licence kick he is also a commercial fisherman, howard asks him why doesn't he drive and why he wants to now, i can't remember the first answer (i think it was barely passed) but the second was the road was straight there was little traffic and howard didn't want to live. Howard says he does and sheldon says your making this harder (or something). Back to leonard he skypes his mother she thinks its penny but talks to him he ends up crying because she tells him shes proud of him and likes penny (to sum up the convo) Sheldon is now driving, hes smiling and having fun howard tells him to change lanes and sheldon asks why, howard says because this street only has 2 lanes and theyre not in either of them. Sheldon says howard is a good father or teacher i cant remember which. Howard gently punches him in the shoulder and sheldon goes ow and gives him a look. Sheldon asks if he can go faster and then basically floors it lol hes having a great time he says he doesn't know why he was ever scared. Tag scene is sheldon pulled over with a police car behind him, he leans over to howard and says heres the plan howard says no before he can start. The police officer asks if he knew how fast he was going to which sheldon replies 112 then he hands his license over and says you can keep that. Bts: jim was super friendly all night with everyone he smiled and waved at the audience a couple times and was laughing watching the playback while waiting for his scene. He was also talking to simon in between takes i heard him saying stuff was broken and things like that. Looked like mayim had her boys there she bought them out during the taping to see one of the people in the front row, after the show simon, kunal and mayim were out taking pics with some people. Kaley and Johnny came and did their chat to the audience but other then chatting to each other with kaley swearing at him when he made her mess up we didn't see them much.

Hello there. I know this is off topic but bear with me So on Saturday I will be getting married and if anyone is interested to see pictures I will be putting them up in the chit chat thread You can now resume normal service

Im going tomorrow :D i also did the tour yesterday and they took us to the set looks like its all set up as howard and Bernadettes place they had their living room, garage and what looked like the side of their house as well as another room which i couldn't quite see. Im so excited

Time flies when we have fun, it is a universal truth. On 24 th Aug 2016 I made my first post in this forum and it has been a joy to share all my fan love for shamy and for tbbt with you all. Thank you all for everything. May the shamy force be with us, always! Cheers!

According to a new IG story from bigbangtheorys10, Raj and Stuart fight over dating Bernie's new co-worker, but she doesn't want to date either of them because she wants to focus on her job. Apparently Amy wants a cliff wedding overlooking the ocean, but Sheldon definitely doesn't want that. (also acc. to bigbangtheorys10)

More from Alex Ayer's IG stories

Short note. We lost power, we have wind damage, we have water leaking into one of our rooms. But the rain has stopped, so once all the current water is gone, we should be ok.

“The Retraction Reaction” – Leonard angers the university – and the entire physics community – after he gives an embarrassing interview. Also, Amy and Bernadette bond over having to hide their success from Sheldon and Howard, Monday, Oct. 2 (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Ira Flatow returns to guest star as himself, and Regina King returns as Mrs. Davis.

Apparently Leonard's depressing epiphany is something real-life physicists are grappling with right now. This article breaks it down. A few key quotes: So now instead of thinking this is just the conclusion of the "guys are depressed over losing their project" story arc, I think this probably marks the beginning of a whole new arc. Maybe the scientists who consult on the show brought up this issue and the show runners decided to work it into the guys' lives. I think it's fascinating. If the guys were able to work toward a theory that would help prove the multiverse, maybe we could see them close to a Nobel by the time Big Bang ends.

I made it into Kaley's photo!!!!!!!! I am at the far right... If you look at the kid with the black T-shirt in the VIP seats, I am just behind him in the second row. I was clearly leaning forward to see Kaley and Johnny better. After filming the Leonard/Penny cake and balloons scene, Kaley wiped off her face with a towel, and she and Johnny climbed up to talk with the audience. I'll be saving this photo! My head was also in a behind-the-scenes photo that one of the writers shared, after last year's first taping. AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Happy Taping Day, everyone! Since my birthday was yesterday, some spoilers about tonight's episode would be a great, belated gift! Well, taping reports are always wanted/appreciated by us all, but I thought I'd play up the birthday. lol

The episode title was The Explosion Implosion, i also think the model rocket not taking off was because it was old. Howards father bought it for him before he left and Sheldon mentioned he wanted one when he was younger.

Good Morning all. I've been looking at the radar and the westward motion has stopped. Also, there is some dry air moving into the storm from the west, and you can visually see the west side of the storm falling apart. This hopefully reduces the strength. Unfortunately for Carlos, this means Miami will be getting a lot of the wind and rain. Please take care Carlos. Thank you everyone for your thoughts, it's appreciated.

It's Tuesday again. I wish you all a Happy Taping Day #2

Taping of episode 11.05 today. This means... Happy Taping Day

From The Seattle Times Bob Newhart gets a TV marathon; ‘Big Bang Theory’ ahead LOS ANGELES (AP) — In his trademark low-key way, Bob Newhart says he’s pleased that his 1970s sitcom about a psychologist and his quirky patients and pals will mark its 45th anniversary with a TV marathon. <snip> He’ll visit “Big Bang Theory” again this season, but trimmed his number of standup appearances after Ginny, his wife of 54 years “and counting,” asked him to take it easy. But he’s healthy, he said, and quitting gigs altogether isn’t an option. (full article in the link)

I wish you all a Happy Taping Day

Alright then we got some spoilers for 11x02 (paraphrased below in italic) in the DT and nothing really for Shamy as a couple, but rather individually: - Leonard gives a depressing interview about physics being dead or something and his negativity is dragging the guys down as well. For Sheldon it's surely nothing new. He's had a crisis with his subject of study already so it'll be interesting how he deals with it. It certainly doesn't help that they have lost the gyroscope project not too long ago. But I really hope his project with Amy can bring him back on track or that this will lead to a new project for the guys altogether. - Amy meanwhile is off with Bernie discussing their success and how to hide it from their men (to not rub it in while they are down, I presume???) and they end up being competitive over who's more successful (lol) and we'll find out Amy gets a new lab and new funds at Caltech! YAY!! Way to go, Amy!! <3 I love that her stay at Princeton got Amy more prestige at work and isn't brushed under the rug. The idea of keeping it secret from Sheldon sounds a bit like 10x23 and I'm not sure we'll get a resolution here. Though after 11x01 the perfect resolution would of course be that Amy tells him and Sheldon takes it in stride and is happy for her. We'll see. - Amy's ring is apparently a huge eye catcher! LMAO

Happy Taping Day, everyone! When girls were asked if it was true that we don't like spoilers, their answer was... Have a great day!

Did someone say promo photo? I'm back! ETA: I've just caught up with some posts. I had read the spoilers for 11x03 (I can't believe I'm typing "11" still) and I assumed from the wording of the spoilers that Sheldon's being annoyingly picky about a date, not that he's stressing out because Amy's going bridezilla. I think it would be very IC for Sheldon to be obsessive over organizing stuff the way he wants it and I would hope they don't fall into the usual cliches of "woman goes bridezilla/man doesn't care". I also don't agree that Sheldon would bolt at the wedding. Why would he? He's not afraid of commitment at all, and he sounds pretty certain of himself about the proposal. I'm hoping they continue to ride the good wave of S10 Shamy this season: funny and in sync!

“The Proposal Proposal” – Amy gives Sheldon an answer to his proposal while Howard and Bernadette struggle with some unexpected news, on the 11th season premiere of THE BIG BANG THEORY, Monday, Sept. 25(8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Laurie Metcalf returns as Sheldon’s mother, Mary; Riki Lindhome returns as Ramona; and Stephen Hawking returns as himself.

Happy taping day, everyone!

The biggest issue with these episodes is that they're so isolated from the rest of what's going on you could skip them and wouldn't miss a thing even though the story itself is constructed in a way that should actually be a big deal. If Penny is trying to play Sheldon on his own field with the RMA by manipulating him so that she gets what she wants and Leonard is finally fed up with everything that should have directly led into Lenny deciding to finally move out. Did that happen? Nope. The episode just ends with Raj rationalising everything like "haha that was kinda like GoT!" and the LAs haven't been touched until 7 episodes later and it wasn't even Lenny who made the first move here so it feels like if it weren't for Amy's apartment being ruined they'd still be content living with Sheldon?? WTF? Similarly, if Lenny go as far as making their own RA (putting aside the question of whether or not it's OOC for a moment) then that should have led to a string of episodes where either 1) they are shown to work with that and improve their relationship or 2) show at least that it worked right away and that they're more on the same page now. Did that happen? Nope. Instead we got a bunch of episodes with lots of conflicts that were never resolved. It got so bad that people were wondering if Lenny were heading to a divorce and Johnny was talking about a rough patch - but as serious as that was it just got brushed under the rug and the show pretends it never happened?? Idk what to make of this. ugh

From Alex Ayers' IG stories

We have an episode title: "The Collaboration Contamination" guest star Efrain Gomez as employee

Im probably bias because Amy is my favourite but her conversation with Leonard was one of my fave scenes of the night. Her face when Leonard said his mother was pennys new best friend was brilliant and the last line she yells was so well done. The whole scene reminded me of how she was in the early seasons, and look at the bright side we get a shamy kiss and a couple hugs in the first ep yay

Alright, we got some quick spoilers from IG*: - Sheldon struggles with picking a wedding date - Raj and Stuart fight - Bernie takes a new co-worker out for drinks (presumably the guest actress) *If you look at the comments from the IG post quoted above you'll find bigbangtheorys10 saying they posted a story with spoilers. Go to their account with your IG app and watch their IG story to see for yourself.

A little information about episode 11.02 regarding Lenny: Penny is supportive of Leonard during the whole episode. At one point they have a talk and Penny is comforting her husband.

Personally I would love for Sheldon to sort out his priorities and gain some focus from it. For pretty much the whole show he hasn't really had a major scientific breakthrough on his own and instead his childish shenanigans at work were the premise of many humorous plots at Caltech. The reason he was able to keep his job was pretty much due to the reputation he earned in his youth (and occasional help from Mary and others fixing whatever he messed up) and that prestige has been carrying his career for a long time and in a way he's still chasing that early success with his obsession with awards, especially the Nobel. But his field string theory proved to be a dead end so he changed to dark matter which also didn't seem to be particularly inspiring here. The only thing the writers did that resembled anything successful was the paper he and Leonard published, which then eventually lead to the gyroscope project thanks to Howard's idea, which was apparently so successful that the army took it from them at the first opportunity. In all this it's clear that Sheldon isn't exactly the idea guy. He's the maths and numbers guy. He's exceptionally good at that, albeit not flawless judging by the mistakes he made in the past. But I think there's potential here to let him grow as a scientist. Either the writers let him have a really good idea for once or he's becoming more mature about his goals and instead of chasing the pipe dream of a Nobel he'll concentrate on doing solid research. He can earn success from that but it shouldn't necessarily be his priority then. I'd love for him to be rewarded after he showed some real dedication to a project instead of accidentally stumbling over something or him continuing to rest on his laurels of his youth. And I think this is where his project with Amy could be the key. If they stick with the idea from 10x02 that physics is dead somehow it would make sense for Sheldon to concentrate on areas where there's still potential and as koops loved to point out plenty of times there are some fun things going on with the combination of physics and neuroscience. On one hand I would love for Shamy to continue working on it through the season not only because they're the intellectual power couple of the show and I love seeing them doing science together, but I also just like it when we get a clear idea that the characters are working on a specific project in the background not just something generic [insert field of study here] while otherwise just showing them dicking around with something unrelated. On the other hand I would love to see the project continue to explore Sheldon's growing maturity further - here in the workplace. They did a bit with that with the guys' project but ultimately fell back on the old "Sheldon is annoying, let's find a way to get rid of him" idea. Sheldon working together with someone who actually likes his company could actually still hold some story opportunities here. We'll see, I guess.

Late to the party, here's my two cents about the episode... First off, many thanks to the posters who provided infos. I think this episode will be very funny, I love bernie and amy together, sometimes their rivalry goes too far, but it is hilarious. Also, i'm happy that amy's summer project has had a sort of follow up in the first episodes of the new season, we didn't actually see her at work, but we know that her collegues at princeton valued her very much and that her researches there have provided her more funds and recognitions also at Caltech. I see a pattern in the way her success is influencing Sheldon. In the past episode he had some difficulties in not being in the spotlight with amy's collegues and now amy is kinda hiding her successes to not upset him. It's an interesting dynamic, i'd like to see it developed, especially if shamy are going to work together at their joint project this season. Finally, I hope by the end of the episode the guys get their love for physics back and they can come up with new ideas in the future.

KEV, you are a Rockstar! I have been to 2 tapings, and tried to scribble notes for my TR's but it is really difficult! You don't want anyone to see you doing it, and they move along and repeat so many scenes (with changes to the script each time!) so then you are not even sure which take they will use for the show. Plus, you are sitting in the dark so it makes it especially hard to take notes. And on top of all that, you want to be in the moment and enjoy the show getting played out in front of you! I also read some of my spoilers on another website after my taping reports, and yes, I also felt very violated. Mine happened after the season premier last year when Lenny had their family wedding. So maybe these so called "reporters" are only interested in the big news of the season premiers. I guess there isn't much we can do about it with freedom of speech and all! Anyway, KEV, you did an amazing job with your taping report and so many thanks for providing spoilers for the fans on this site who truly love TBBT!!!!!

Thank you so much for worrying Rick, and thank to all the people how wished us well. I just got back internet service, and was able to get back online today. Got back power a couple of days ago. In the area of Miami were I live we were basically pounded by wind and water all Sunday long (beginning late Saturday) but we are fortunately OK. In my case I just had tree damage and approximately 1/2 of my wood fence broke off , but didn't get any damage to the house itself. There is a canal behind my yard, and I was freaking out because the water level rose a lot and it was about 6 to 8 yards away from entering the house. Right when I was about to lose it, the rain started subsiding so all was well in the end. Again, thank you so much to all the people who wished us well. Rick: Sorry about the damage you suffered, but happy you're OK. Hope the insurance takes care of you quickly and efficiently.

Fingers crossed we are lucky enough to learn about the taping in the coming days. If anyone who views this forum is going I hope you have a fanastic time and experience, any information you are willing or happy to share as always will be greatly appreciated. It's not lost on some of us that we are indeed lucky to get anything.

A bloggers visit to TBBT set and interview with Steve Holland The Big Bang Theory Showrunner Steve Holland http://www.trippinwithtara.com/big-bang-theory-showrunner-steve-holland/

Making jokes about their time in bed and sexual encounters is much more funny and interesting than the cutting remarks they made to each other in the previous couple seasons. It also reminds me of them before they got married when it was more obvious that they loved each other. Penny has always been portrayed as a "Big Old 5", so shouldn't she be that way with her husband? This episode and the one with the body paint are the ones that really seem in character for the two of them and I hope we get some more little references sprinkled in future episodes about how they enjoy themselves. I think in the future we all would love a scene or even a reference about them going to the dirty store and I still think them getting caught bare assed under a blanket (just showing bare shoulders and clothes scattered around them so no real nudity) on the couch by a just walking in Sheldon and Amy would funny and be a good way for them to have a privacy discussion with Sheldon, and Amy. This is the kind of funny stuff they should be writing about them, capitalizing on Penny's being very sexually active and Leonard adoring doing it with her, I think scenes with themes like his lab encounter with her are not too much to ask. I can't help think that if Leonard ever got the department head's job it would be so funny if he showed Penny his new office and she locked the door then swept everything off his desk then said, "I never did the boss on his desk." Anyway the bottom line is I want more of this kind of Leonard and Penny, this seems more in character of them then what we have been getting since they have been married.

@NotWonderland thank you so much! As per usual for me I read the Lenny parts and skimmed the others to keep me some surprises but from what I read this episode sounds really good! I love the rare pairings! And a Leonard-Amy scene nontheless! I have been saying they should have them bonding more now that they're neighbors. Granted, Leonard is a bit manipulative and Amy is mostly or completely focused on herself but I'll definitely take it. This is a comedy and the characters and their relationships aren't perefect. The same goes for why I am fine with Penny kind of mocking Amy (I think? Didn't quite understand that part) to get along with Beverly. I also liked that they are doing something about the driving license thing so we see that, as I suspected, Sheldon didn't drive because he is terrible at it and not because of his made up reason (feeling important). That was just a cover up, he is not one to readily admit inferiority. And I think it was to be expected that the baby is a boy. The Leonard-Penny-Beverly plot sounds good to me. I like those times when Penny tries to bond with Beverly and I think it is clear enough that Leonard's issues are with his mother. It doesn't surprise me at all that he was bothered seeing again he is the only one his mother doesn't say she is proud of. I'm glad that it was kind of fixed but I don't expect it to suddenly make everything better (and if it did it would be very unrealistic), too much awful history there. And the contender for my favorite part of the episode: Suggested Lenny bedroom fun!!! I've really missed those! I hope they don't cut it out and that it'll play out well (i.e., Not appearing as if only Leonard enjoys this and Penny just reluctantly agrees, I believe it is one of those cases where "cool girl" complaints but does enjoy...). BTW, this goes for anyone who had seen a season 11 episode: Did they show Lenny's bedroom? If so, what was it like? (We haven't seen it since the redecorating).

@NotWonderland Thank you so much for your summary and impression! I really appreciate it. It sounds very..

Funny ep one plot is sheldon and howard trying to build a model rocket other plot is penny being friends with beverly

Final update, its over for us. We are still without power, and we have some major damage to one of our rooms. The roof was partially ripped away, and the wind blew the rain in under the roof. We had water running down our walls, pooling in the ceiling, and it has soaked the carpet in that room. We're looking at having to replace the roof over that room, the ceiling, possibly the walls, and definitely the carpet. It happens to be the room that houses my computer, my router, my PS4, and all my books. Along with a TV and a few other things. Already contacted my insurance company. I'll probably be off and on here for a couple of weeks. So, if I don't answer right away, you know why.

Happy taping day friends! May today bring us good news about our favorite Pasadena power couple... Looking for the following: A cute conversation Shared dinner with each other (cooked by Sheldon) Canoodling on the couch A visit by Sheldon to Amy's new lab Canoodling on the bed Any of the above would bring be much joy on an otherwise mundane Tuesday night. Make it so writers!

I wish you all a Happy Taping Day!

Holy moly, y'all. Wouldn't this be the PERFECT thing for Shamy to work on together?? Scientists find “evidence” of a multidimensional universe INSIDE our brain http://educateinspirechange.org/science-technology/scientists-find-evidence-of-a-multidimensional-universe-inside-our-brain/ Somebody needs to make this happen!

So Amy and Bernadette get competitive, if it's any thing like the parking space episode, it's gonna be hilarious.

Happy Taping Day. Have Fun t anyone going!
