Happy Birthday @chucky! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Scooby-Doo!

Considering the events that would follow over the course of the next twelve seasons I would name the pilot: "The Transformation Genesis".

@bfm Happy Birthday!

While a YP show would certainly fit in with most content currently aired, the question is, "Do TBBT viewers want to see Penny depicted as an academically under achieving, alcohol indulging, sexually promiscuous, teenage bully?" That is what TBBT established as Penny's backstory. The fact is, the writers and producers of YS have taken great liberties in re-shaping the YS childhood into palatable television material. Spinning off any more Y-TBBT child shows would require similar efforts.

Welcome to the forums. Sadly, you've missed the best of the site. Things began winding down after the finale aired and have really dwindled to almost nothing at this point. Still, I hope you enjoy the forum.

Good point. Something a native Texan would catch, but the general perception of non-Texans is that the state consists of arid landscapes, mesquite trees and horned frogs. Throw in a few tumbleweeds, jackrabbits and some cattle and there isn't anything else to add. Geography aside, the cow in the opening is a dairy cow. Not exactly a Texas staple. Guess they don't want the family confronting a typically bad tempered longhorn...

A question that has been debated at length. Originally, Sheldon was roommate to Leonard and most of what Leonard did for him was stipulated in the Roommate Agreement. Howard and Raj got sucked in because they were friends with Leonard. As to why they would continue to interact/socialize with him there are any number of reasons. They all shared multiple common interests. He possessed abilities that they found useful at times, e.g., he served as the group's institutional memory. At various times they delighted in exploiting his character traits and tormented him. They delighted in seeing others suffering his idiosyncrasies. The Sheldon spotlight could be entertaining to those not caught in its focus. These characters were complicated people. No doubt about that. Why would they remain friends with, and tolerate, Sheldon? Tough question, but it can be asked about most of them. Howard (1.0) was creepy and frequently disturbing. Raj was, at times, much worse in many ways than Sheldon. Amy could be as creepy as Howard and as needy as Leonard. Bernadette could be frighteningly mean. Penny was often morally ambiguous, a bully, and a manipulative moocher. Leonard certainly had issues but was mostly the stable nucleus of an unstable group. None of them was perfect, but together they created some magical moments. For us as viewers and in their make believe world.

Never seen any Dr. Who, but I thought I'd post this to provide some context: The Daleks are a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, created by the megalomaniacal scientist Davros of the planet Skaro to be an emotionless "master race" bent on universal conquest and domination, utterly without pity, compassion or remorse. -Sounds like a creature Sheldon would want to emulate rather than fight.- I am wondering if they're not investing a lot of money in a dead horse. I don't have any data to rely upon but I wonder if any other show has ever gotten so much new content paired with syndication exposure as TBBT. Between CBS (and affiliates) and TBS (in the U.S.) there is scarcely an evening that doesn't offer multiple episodes of TBBT. Now that there are no new episodes forthcoming I wonder if there's going to be a sustainable audience to cover such an investment. (My skepticism could be somewhat based upon my own, on-going, indifference to watching TBBT since the finale aired.)

Kudos to Bath Item. The 'Nimoy napkin' scene is probably my all-time favorite TBBT moment. I voted for Adhesive Duck because of the episode long Sheldon/Penny dynamic, but I can't argue with how the voting turned out.
