SRAM Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Is anyone going to tonight's taping? It has been so quiet on the forum the last couple days, I was wondering. General question, is it normal for a popular TV show to run 7 weeks in the middle of the season with only one new episode? I just don't remember this happening before.

I just don't remember this happening before.I'm guessing not but there is some unusual circumstances here. The show started on Monday night and switched back to Thursday with 9 weeks in a row of shows.(10 actual shows) Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are all on Thursday and the Peter Pan live was on a Thursday. They still had 11 new shows by the end of the year as usual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensor Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Is anyone going to tonight's taping? It has been so quiet on the forum the last couple days, I was wondering. General question, is it normal for a popular TV show to run 7 weeks in the middle of the season with only one new episode? I just don't remember this happening before. Part of it was CBS' decision the last two years to run on the 2nd (last year) and the 3rd(two years ago). Most of the time networks waited until the Monday following the first of the year, otherwise the show was pretty much one episode from Thanksgiving until the first one of the new year. Also, they ran two episodes in December last year, but they didn't run one on Halloween. After the episode on Thursday, they will have run 11 episodes in 13 weeks. After Thursday, there are 24 weeks left in the season, with only 13 episodes. If you only count from the first of the year, there would be 21 weeks for the 13 episodes. While it's nice to have a double episode to start the season, I'd almost rather they only have one, to reduce the number of repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripper Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think the stretch from the season premiere to episode 10 is the longest run of episodes the show's ever done uninterrupted. Part of that is the doubled up season premiere, but even on a weeks basis: nine weeks is more than they would usually do unbroken. It was necessitated by the jump from Monday to Thursday, but it's made November and December rough. I was amused to see Bill Prady having to deal with the usual Twitter complaints of reruns (even noticed a few in the comments) about reruns when the show had just done ten episodes. Unbelievable. By only running one episode in December and by the show starting a week later in January, the show will be in a normal, actually slightly better position than last year, with episodes for the remainder of the season. By January 9 this year they'd aired 13 episodes, next year they'll have aired 12 on January 8. I agree with Tensor, it would be better to have a single season premiere again to cut the rerun weeks.

hokie3457 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I agree with the single episode premiere. Does anyone have an opinion as to the Total number of episodes for Season 8? 24 as they have in the last few seasons, or 23 because of the late start post-contract negotiations?

He also gets back into the Hindu religion. Title is the space prob disintegration.Also, leonard and penny kissed in this episode.Sheldon agrees to let leonard sleep over at penny's once a week. He says he is ok with them living together if they do it gradually.Sheldon told leonard at the department store that Amy did teach him how to drive a little, but he won't do it because he is scared and sometimes he misses the pedals.

Trinabeana78 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Great taping. it was a pretty funny episode. Sheldon and Leonard talked about the living situation. Lenny kissed. Although I don't think it's going to be an episode because they did a third take without the kiss. Sheldon told Leonard Amy taught him how to drive. Leonard and Sheldon cried. It was pretty funny.

Maddie Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thank you, happykitty. I love love love that Amy has kinda taught Sheldon to drive a little. It just shows how much he trusts her, and he'd do anything for her. I'm excited for things to progress, and for steps to be taken for Amy to ultimately move in with Sheldon. But man, my stomach kind of drops to see the first stages of Sheldon and Leonard some day not living together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinabeana78 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 They didn't say anything about Simon's birthday. Also while Lenny did kiss (and I was very happy about it), on the third take they changed the jokes around and took the kiss out.

Leonard said that sheldon was being mature in this episode. I think amy teaching him to drive is a good thing. He could be close to getting a license. He is maturing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
