Penny standing up to the Wicked Witch of New Jersey was the best part the episode. She is proud of Leonard and their marriage. No snark remarks about him this week, just hurt that Bev has No respect for either of them. Boom! That's the Penny Hofstadter we've been looking for. Knew it was in there! You go girl!

Bev said she's still human, really, could have fooled me. Of course she treated Penny badly, that's in character. What's not is that she suddenly cared about something concerning Leonard, her 'under achieving' son. Suddenly she cares about the non invite to his wedding. Reaching a little far, even for these writers. Sometimes it almost seems like they read fan forums and see what they're complaining about and do it. Let's see, some Lenny fans are upset about their wedding. Ok, what's the way to fix this. Shazzam!!! Look it's fixed. I know this DOES NOT happen, but there are times I wonder. Ok the episode. Penny was great in this one. Wanting to bond with her difficult MIL is admirable. No snark comments from her about Leonard, just hurt that mean old Bev has no repect for her, the man she loves, or their marriage. Even though Bev has a comeback, I love how Penny stands up to her. Not sure about the Sheldon part. Seems he's done a lot of reverting to his old ways, since making progress early this season. Wasn't nice hiring Stuart as a stand in date. But when Amy shot back the same way it was sort of cute. The prolonged carrying on about the line jumping seemed immature, even for Sheldon. As with most of the characters, the writers seem perplexed about how to move Sheldon's character forward, without losing what fans loved about him. Not trying critical of the character, just some off the top of my head observations after just watching the episode. Overall, not the worst episode. But didn't laugh a lot. Just don't think Bev hating on Leonard, his wife, and his life is all that funny. Obviously TPTB do.

Helium atom, Adam from Maroon 5! Mic drop! Leonard for the win!

Loving today's topic!

My favorite picture, snap shot of s9. Yes we're married, yes we're happy, yes we're in love. And Leonard's look, yes dude, this beautiful, wonderful woman chose ME! Go Team Hofstadter!!!!

Oh my, I LOVE these sneak peaks. Team Hofstadter shown looking do much in love(as they should be). Love the way Leonard pumps out his chest and has that huge grin as Penny gazes at her ring when they tell Zack. Side note... Absolutely love Kaley's hair in these pictures. She's adorable!

Just want to take a second before work to thank all the great people who have provided all the in-depth taping reports! Can't believe Nine seasons have past since the first Hi.

Well...don't I feel stupid. Found myself expecting and fearing the worst each week. Got to stop over analyzing each scene and each word, and just get back to enjoying the show and Dr and Mrs H! Love the way Penny stood up for her marriage after all. Sounds like 2 really good episodes to end S9!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!

Just watched it again with my wife, still not as bad as I expected, but still cringeworthy. Leaving everything unresolved still makes it real bad. I could watch it 100 times and it would still be in the bottom 10 episodes ever.

Wish they would have shown them making up, saying that it was stupid to agrue about something so moronic and childish as The Baby's RA. Did like that they showed them in bed together at the end.

If they Do a Redo, hoping for A LENNY PERFECT Redo! Angst, cold feet, falling pianos, or whining Sheldons are not welcome.(or necessary, IMO)

Thanks, Strawberry! That made me smile. I realize it's only a TV show; but after 9 long years, I sort of do feel about Lenny the same way Andy felt about his toys. And yes, sometimes I don't think TPTB take care of them very well.

This, this, and more of this! Amen! BUT, I just can't see these writers giving us a Lenny-perfect Redo. They seem to forgotten how. If they're going add more angst by having a Redo, I'd rather them not have one at all. The thought of Penny running (questioning the marriage), even if things work better in the end, is an unbearable thought at this point. No need for this in a sitcom, at least for me. Don't need another summer like last summer.

Been really feeling negative about OUR couple lately, so I've resisted posting with those feelings. Love all the positivity in the last few posts. Really hoping for a happy ending of s9. Won't ever give up on them! I Am 4 Ever Lenny!

Prime Lenny 1.0 starting with Monopolar on TBS starting now. 6 episodes tonight. Young Lennies in love!

Perfect, maybe the sound of a bed breaking should have startled Shamy at the very end of the tag.

Felt the same jealousy during tag scene, especially when I clicked into the Shamy thread and saw all the happiness. Seems the writers are becoming major Shamys. Lenny conflict is what TPTB love. So it seems...

Really confused at these money questions that are thrown out there once in a while. A couple has got to sit down and have a plan for their finances. Then there is no need for secret accounts, that your 'friend' can use to cause conflict(thinking he's cute) at any time.

At least the show has been consistent this year. Raj is consistently a jerk and creepy. Sheldon and Amy are shown in their quirky love. Leonard and Penny are shown as a married couple that keeps secrets from each other and having little in common. Even when they have a chance for a little fun, their 'best friend' ruins it. Why does Sheldon has to ruin couples fun by dropping a secret like tonight just 'to win'. Oh he's socially awkward and doesn't know better doesn't cut it anymore. That was just mean and meant to cause trouble. Penny was once sweet and caring, this Penny is gone. Only thing left from her character that Leonard and the rest of us fell in love with is that she likes to drink and that she's had sex in every possible place in every possible way. Didn't feel there was any progress on their conflict tonight either. If Penny's job pays so much, why hasn't she paid down her debt. The questions about their money changes from episode to episode. Seems the writers are confused, or maybe we're not supposed to pay close attention. Really wish I didn't feel this disappointed after every episode, but I do.

Hi ArmyGirl, always hoping for some of that great Lenny magic!

I, state my name, am very happy to admit that I was wrong to jump to the worst possible conclusion on this episode when I saw that Zack was back. Really hoping for good Lenny plot to conclude this year.

How much more of a jerk can they make Raj. Used to at least be a lovable loser, now he asks to make out with the wives of 2 of his friends. On top of dating 2 women. Time to lock his character in the closet. The Shamy story seemed to end in a re- hash of the closure episode when Sheldon seems to make progress, only to show that he doesn't ie saving the golf ball. I remember the days when Lenny got their own plot line. Show has lost it's magic for me.

Ok, I guess I don't know the law very well. Made sense that they would do background checks, since it's a legal document. I admit I really don't know. I am just disgusted with the present state of the show, like you.

You're right. They could have never got a license. Thanks. See logic beats emotion every time. Guess I just think the worst, given how TPTB like to screw with Lenny.
