Thanks! Took the week off and really enjoyed it.

Welcome! There's a lot of minutia to enjoy. Glad you've joined us.

It is interesting but i'm not sure it's all that unusual. I've seen a lot of actors interviewed that say they do not watch their own performances. That apart from production playback of individual scenes they never watch their work. A similar interview with the rest of the cast could result in a similar response.

You only think you're getting old. Once you get there you'll recognize the difference. 🎂

That could work. It's not really science unless you count political science. As there are very few of us left here that post I don't really care which forum thread things go in. Whatever, wherever is fine with me.

As TBBT is over and likely never to return, does it really matter what the thread title is anymore? At this point I'm happy with whatever brings people back to the forum. As Chucky said, "I just go with the flow." But in the spirit of cooperation, I'll offer this on topic comment: Season 12 was a monumental disappointment. Wasted on the Shamy Nobel story line which was, in itself, bogged down with that nonsensical story involving those two idiots that were trying to steal credit for the idea. In a season of mediocrity that was the biggest waste of time. Closely pursued by the Penny not wanting children drama. Don't get me wrong. There were episodes I enjoyed and there weren't any I will not watch in reruns, but they could, and should, have done so much better.

I live in Georgia and am shaking my head at the Governor's decision. Partly because I fear it is too soon, but mostly because of what he's allowing to reopen. Bowling alleys, fitness centers, salons, etc. These are not essential industries. Not even close. Though to be fair I have to consider the owners of these businesses and their concerns about whether they can financially survive remaining closed. The owners of the shop that cuts my hair have said they are not reopening today. That they will wait until May 5th. Since the latest projections are that Georgia is still weeks from it's Covid-19 peak it doesn't really seem that waiting another 10 days will make a major difference. Today in Georgia it comes down to choices. Business can choose to reopen or remain closed. People can choose to patronize open businesses or stay away. I will stay away and that is for two reasons: 1. I do not trust my fellow humans to do the right thing. On my rare forays out into the world I am seeing too many people without masks (and/or gloves) who absolutely refuse to observe any measure of social distancing. Also, I simply do not trust those who may be sick to stay home and not put others at risk.; and 2. I do not trust the businesses themselves to follow the guidelines issued by the governor's office that are supposed to ensure safety. Some of them won't do so because of indifference, but many won't because they simply cannot make a restaurant, bowling alley, movie theater, fitness center, etc., sterile. It can't be done. But, staying away for the near future is my choice. Others who are willing to take the risk may do so. Perhaps this is how it should be.

Young Sheldon frequently makes TBBT references, or mentions things that eventually came to pass in TBBT. In the most recent episode Missy makes a comment about never having children. TBBT viewers know this is not accurate as Missy has a child in one episode and is pregnant at Shamy's wedding. In fact, the YS canon is establishing facts that will effect the (unlikely in my opinion) the resumption of TBBT at some point in the future; either in a reboot or reunion format. I would certainly like to see some TBBT morsel in the YS finale. Hopefully, they;ll give us one.

I watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Better Call Saul, The Rookie, Sneaky Pete, and Downton Abbey reruns any time I see them airing. None of the current sitcoms have gotten my interest. One thing I have little interest in is 'agenda' television. Anything that promotes a cause, worldview, or social platform I will probably skip. There are documentary and opinion programs for that kind of thing and I really don't care to watch entertainment that promotes a 'message'. At least not if it does it surreptitiously. State up front what it's about. If it interests me I'll watch. I have gotten back into watching TBBT reruns. It took me a long time post-finale to do so but I can, once again, enjoy watching.

Happy Birthday @gsxdoug I hope you have a fantastic day and you're staying safe during these trying times.

Forever

Episode 7.11 Penny is shown in a bra. Don't think it's the same one.

Agreed! It was interesting to see the cafeteria with the same decor and vending machines.

What's My Line?

Season 5, Episode 12: The Shiny Trinket Maneuver Amy: Sounds like you hit the ground running. I have a bit of good news myself. My most recent paper on how a cooperative long-term potentiation can map memory sequences in dendritic branches made the cover of Neuron. Sheldon: Ooh! Speaking of good news, somebody just hit 100 Twitter followers. Amy: That’s nice. Anyway, I’ve been dreaming of this day for a long time. Sheldon: Yeah, me, too. Triple digits, I’m not gonna lie, feels pretty good. Amy: Sheldon, I’m the sole author on a paper being published in a distinguished journal that may change the course of my field. Sheldon: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Ooh, 101! Air’s getting a bit thin up here. Penny: So, are we ready to order? Amy: Give me a minute. I’m gonna go wash up. Sheldon: Well, that’s odd. We both washed up when we came in. It’s probably a euphemism for urination. Penny: Sheldon, what is wrong with you? Sheldon: Not much. Although, I can be faulted for being overly fond of koala bears. I don’t know what it is, when they smart munching on eucalyptus, I just melt inside. Penny: Okay, Amy just told you some exciting news, and you acted like it was no big deal. Sheldon: Oh, I see why you’re confused. No, her news sounded important, but what you’re forgetting is, it was an achievement in the field of biology. That’s all about yucky, squishy things. Penny: Honey, she’s upset. You’re her boyfriend. You have to at least try to be excited by the things she’s excited by. Sheldon: What if they simply don’t excite me? Penny: Well, just smile and think about koalas. Sheldon: She’d see right through that. We go to the zoo all the time. She knows my koala face. And for future reference, it’s this.
