netmouse Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I really need to study up on the imdb site a bit more. I never knew (until yesterday) that Johnny Galecki was in the movie Hancock. He was pretty cool in it too, for the entire 2 minutes anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shel_Ra_Ho_Le Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I know ALL so I will bow out! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterculius Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Can't believe that someone wouldn't have known about Mayim Bialik having played Blossom. lol What I did find interesting to learn however was that Mayim has a PhD in neuroscience in real life, just like her character Amy. Found that out right after she first appeared on the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmouse Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah... I'm a bit slow on paying attention to which actors play who and what their background is. I watched Blossom religiously, just didn't put two and two together during BBT season 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aevitas Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 What I did find interesting to learn however was that Mayim has a PhD in neuroscience in real life, just like her character Amy. Actually, neuroscience and neurobiology aren't exactly the same, as she's explained in various interviews, but a lot of the terminology is the same, so I'm sure memorizing lines is a lot easier for her than a lot of her colleagues.

Schroedinger's Cat Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I realise that you'll probably all be aware of this one - and that I was a little slow on the uptake but.... Kaley Cuoco = Billie from Charmed :D I was a fan of that show too but didn't make the connection right away. Ok, not the brightest start I'll admit.... must try harder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmouse Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I prefered Kaley in "8 Simple Rules" although John Ritter annoyed the beejeebus out of me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminous Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 When I saw TBBT the first time and Penny appeared on the screen, my first thought was: "Hey, that's the blonde girl from '8 Simple Rules' ". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF63 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I really need to study up on the imdb site a bit more. I never knew (until yesterday) that Johnny Galecki was in the movie Hancock. He was pretty cool in it too, for the entire 2 minutes anyways I watched Hancock a few weeks ago and saw that He was in that movie. I also forgot that He plays Rusty in the classic Christmas Vacation movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmouse Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 @Bill: yeah I only picked up on Christmas Vacation over this Christmas break too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milti girl Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Yep, Raj's hookup was with Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years (she played Kevin Arnold's girlfriend). And she was also a guest star in a Season 1 episode of How I Met Your Mother, playing a girl Ted Mosby hooks up with. I love her! I love how she played the good girl next door in her younger days and now she's playing the role of random girls the characters hook up with. And I watched Blossom as a kid. I loved her too! Amy is just the total opposite of what Blossom would grow up to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
