We were talking about when Jim might have had a chance to tape his Ellen appearance.  He was on today.

My wife is planning to be at the TBBT taping on Tuesday. She is out there with some of her family. her mother is a fan of Ellen so that's why I knew about Ellen not taping next week.

Some game shows tape multiple "episodes" in one day. At one point a few years ago Letterman taped 2 shows (with separate audiences) to have one less day of taping a week.

Yeah, Letterman and Craig Ferguson I think almost always filmed their Friday shows on Thursday, after filming the Thursday show, and then had Friday off.

Did your wife pick a different show to attend?

Five females of the family had been planning on going to LA during my daughter's spring break (she is 13). Some of them went a couple of years ago and saw the Price is Right taping/show. My wife watches TBBT, not like us on here, and has seen almost every show. I was able to get just her a ticket. The other three don't watch the show and my daughter's too young to go though watches the show.. I'm not sure how it's going to all work out because they are staying by LAX.

Ellen generally tapes Mon through Thursday, with two on Thursday, but there are hiatuses, as Chrismo pointed out.  I believe her taping is at 5 PM (with and extra one at 12 Noon on Thursday).  About the only thing the actors do on Wednesday is the table read.   If I remember an early article, their day starts around 9 or 10 AM, which means the table read will be finished no later than noon to 1 PM, Plenty of time for Jim to get there.  Especially as they film on the same lot.

I agree its very fishy that we got no script cover. When the cast is uber quiet on set (aside from the Sardis thing) its fishy. They were extremely quiet the week leading to the taping I saw and it was the heavy Mrs. Wolowitz death episode, so it was probably a rough week...

And folks know when they rehearse they do it by scenes so if a cast member is watching basketball it doesn't mean they arent in the episode, just maybe not in that scene.

And as Tensor pointed out, Ellen tapes Mon-Thurs (with two shows on Thurs). Very standard talk schedule.

But we shall find out Tuesday

Well, Bill is in FL for the Tigers and complaining about Hilton Hotels.  So, that's one less member at work this week who provides online tidbits

 

That may be why we didn't get a script cover.  Does he go to all the table reads or would he have skipped this one?

He posted the complaint about Hiltons around 11 PM eastern this morning.  It's a about an hour from either Orlando or Tampa airports to Lakeland.  So If he flew today, it would have to be a really early flight out of LA (about 5 AM or so).  So He may have left Thursday.  Either way, he would have been there for the table read on Wednesday.  However, he may have been distracted with getting ready for his trip, which is why we didn't get a photo of the script.  That said, having no photos from any of the cast is a bit different.

Well, writers are with their running jokes like Leonard with his penis...they just grab it and will not let go.

But Shamy are heating up,so It seems like Amy's sexual frustration will soon end up in the "old overdone jokes" box, right next to Howard's creepy sex comments and Penny's alcoholic problems. ;)

Seriously? WHEN Sheldon & Amy do finally sleep together (meaning sex, not platonically sleeping in the same bed), it will be when Sheldon is damn good and ready to, not before. She's not going to need to "trick" him and she wouldn't be able to anyway. He's not that stupid, innocent or gullible.

Its either going to happen when he's ready or drunk LOL

I know you don't like Amy but there is no evidence to suggest she would trick Sheldon into bed....I mean that's just ridiculous

There's no way of knowing if and when this will ever occur. Lenny did it in the TARDIS twice. Being s Shamy fan doesn't make you any more knowledgeable than anyone else. If wishing made thing so Lenny would be living together by now

Why is it always what Sheldon wants. What about what Amy wants. Sheldon needs to fix up Amy is not getting younger.

In all honesty, I would never want these two to get to sex because it's what Amy wants. I don't think this should be matter of such a big compromise. For me it's like this - if it would happen, than I want it to be because Sheldon is one hundred percent comfortable with the idea. I don't think anyone should be pressured so much, even selfish Sheldon. If he ever would told Amy he really don't wants it, and Amy would say she can't live without it, than I think it would be better to just let each other go ...and I'm saying that as their biggest shipper. I'm more than eager to see Sheldon making compromises for Amy, but not in this area. 

 

There was discussion similar to this on another forum and what I found interesting was, that when reversed roles were implied - Sheldon being all for sex, Amy opposed, most of people were not comfortable with an idea of girl being pressured to just "give up" and give the guy what he wants. Not saying it's related to your comment of course. Just food for thoughts.

I feel like Sheldon is someone who dislikes change and isn't ready to accept he is ready for something until it happens. I guess i think that for comedy's sake that it is going to happy in a way that Sheldon will flip out about but then admit afterwards that he actually really enjoyed himself. I could see him telling Leonard "I think I liked it" to which Leonard is all "Of course you did!"

Because when it comes to sex it should be something they are both ready for and want to do. This isn't the same as trying to decide who should get to pick the movie they go see our something.

This doesn't make Amy a doormat our Sheldon selfish. This Amy having enough respect for Sheldon not to pressure him into sex and Sheldon having enough respect for himself not too be pressured into something he doesn't want to do.

I don't think Amy is a doormat. I think everyone gives into Sheldon most of the time. To different degrees they all enable his bad behaviors. Do I think Amy should put her foot down with Sheldon a bit more...yeah, but so could Leonard. I think this season Shamy's relationship is headed towards a more balanced relationship. Don't get me wrong, there's still room for improvement, but it's in a much better place than previous years, jmho. :shy:

 

As for Amy using the Tardis door as her new bedroom door, I don't think she did it to entice Sheldon to sleep with her. It's a possibility...as anything's possible...I just don't think that was the reason. :shy: I feel like the character Amy knows that Sheldon just isn't ready yet and would never pressure him into sex, even subliminally. Like Chrismo said, being a Shamy doesn't make me more knowledgeable than anyone else, so I'll leave it up to the writers to determine Shamy's future intimate endeavors. Although, I hope they do get to that stage mutually, just like I hope Lenny move in together soon then get married. :shy:

I'm sorry guys they are not teenagers who have to be ready or wait till they are 40. Amy wants it and I don't care what you guys say the writers have implied it so many times and like always everyone has to wait for Sheldon to be ready to move on including lenny. I'm really not being mean here but if it was real life Amy would have been off years ago because you have two people who clearly want different things. Amy has been patient she has waited four years and he is still not ready. When is he going to be ready? Not fair on Amy. I say you go girl do everything in your power to get him there be it getting him drunk or the tardis thing to get your leg over or what ever because if she stop hinting or trying he will never be ready and it's not ok for Sheldon to keep teasing her with all the sex comments he has made this season but when Amy does try to entice him, its he is not ready. BS. Well stop giving her mixed messages. I want the best for Amy and just feel Sheldon is not playing fair.
