Unpopular opinion: I don't get the love for Bath Item. I mean, the napkin scene is perfect, no argument about that. But... the rest of the episode is kind of a bore for me so ugh... Idk.

Because Leonard Nimoy is dead :-( and looking back , it makes the episode even more classic and nostalgic for some people.

I think I had one episode from Season 1 in my list and there is two I believe on the overall voting list so far.

I can only speak for myself but I am not surprised that Season 1 isn't dominating a best episode list. For me personally (and a similar view to some that I have spoken to) Season 1 wasn't actually that great but it showed enough promise that luckily for all us fans.

Season 1 isnt that good, but Luminous Fish Effect is great. First appearance by Mrs cooper and I really liked jim's performance and Sheldon's fish night lights!

Another episode i like from s1 is the The Loobenfeld Deccay-Leonard and Sheldon make up a lie about sheldon's cousin Leo.  DJ Qualls is very funny as Leo.

Also if you are a fan of Amy,  you will notice in the Bat Jar Conjecture  (Physics Bowl) they refer to Mayim about joining their team.

Adhesive Duck maybe the shows finest episode. Overall it was prob the series best episode to this day. The classic Sheldon and Penny comic Chemistry in its prime. Leonard, Howard, and Raj going camping was Hilarous. And of course it dispelled any underlying sexual tension between S and P, when Sheldon touched her boob :laugh:.

In my opinion the love for bath item relates to how overwhelmed Sheldon was by what was such a simple gift on Penny's part. Then Penny in the Santa hat saying Look Leonard, Sheldon is hugging me. One of the biggest moments in the series as it was so unexpected.

I Think alot of people remember memorable scenes, then an overall flawed episode.

Also, there's the kiss Penny gives him, when they're drinking rum, the science kit Leonard buys her, and the motorcycle lessons Penny buys him.

Ahhh my beloved Staircase, my fav episode from this series. My Friend you don't have a shot in hell :laugh:

I don't think these two should have met in an early round. They both had good potential for bumping out other episodes.

I'm assuming there's some process for matching episodes.

Maybe the two highest ranking episodes are matched, followed by the next two highest ranking, and so on.

Today it was easier to vote because that Euclid episode was hysterical when Sheldon learned how to drive *LOL* 

And yet it's losing. :scratchhead:

Well Sheldon and Penny are the breakout stars of the show. SO I see why Panty is rating so highley. As it is I voted Euclid. The driving simulator scene alone is pretty classic. Two great episodes, timless classics.

If I'm not mistaken, the whole of Penny's affair with David Underhill blossomed and flourished and withered and perished in this episode as well. Did they get more into each ep in the good old days?

Looking forward to voting in the next round, Scavenger is definitely one of my all time favorites.

It's going a tough one to decide on.

Gorilla is a very good episode.

Penny: Okay, I just have one question. What exactly are sub-atomic particles?

Sheldon: A good question.

Penny: Thank you.

Sheldon: And to answer it, we first must ask ourselves, what is physics?

Penny: Oh, balls.

:rofl:

I agree with you 3ku11. Both episodes were classic. But I laughed a little more about the Euclid episode that´s why I choosed it. But Panty Pinada was fun too. 

They are both entertaining. I'd give the edge to The Euclid Alternative as it came across as more original.

Normally in a tournament where there is an initial ranking, brackets are set such that, #1 plays #16, #2 plays #15, #3 plays #14, etc. in the first round, and so on, with the top seed playing the lowest seed.  That way, if the higher seed always beats the lower seed, #1 and #2 seeds will meet in the finals.  You don't want #1 and #2 to meet in the first round.  I didn't save the results of the nomination round, so I can't say how they are running this tournament.

To me, he will always be Rat Finch.

DJ Qualls was the final actor along with Jim Parsons being considered for the role of Sheldon.  I have to wonder if TPTB remembered him and gave him the role of Cousin Leo as sort of a consolation prize.

On here they have the first half go against the second half but with the same relative places on their respective lists starting at the top. So you get: 1 vs. 9, 2 vs 10, 3 vs. 11. Next round it will be 1 vs 5, 2 vs. 6, 3 vs. 7, 4 vs. 8.

A lot of the episodes were pretty close with their votes so maybe there'll be some surprises!

Panty Pinata is winning by Quite some margin. So that well prob go through. Next on is Scavenger Hunt Vortex v Gorilla Experiment. Both great Episodes. Scavenger maybe the shows last great episode. Penny trying to learn Physics off Sheldon, to impress Leonard. But inadvertantly disses Leonard lol. Dumb Blonde. And Scavenger was fun.

The Panty episode was funny enough but kind of reminds me of the very  old...
