If you didn't see it last night, go to CBS.com and watch The Big Bang Theory from last night. I'll not give any spoilers but I was laughing so hard I was in tears. Many of us here can identify with it.

best line:
Sheldon: "Do you know what this MEANS??!!?!!?"

I've loved this show since it started last season.
It just keeps making me laugh, and stays remarkably consistent in it's quality.

Yeah, I love the show. The only thing about last night's episode that bothered me was the beginning... Friends of mine and I have actually HAD conversations like that about Superman! One of those "I'm a geek" moments.

And my personal worst "I'm a geek" moment? Remember that wonderful Saturday Night Live sketch with William Shatner appearing at the Star Trek Convention and shouting "Get a life!" to the convention goers? The first time I ever saw that sketch... I was AT a Star Trek Convention! And to make things worse, I knew that they made a mistake... the episode they referenced as episode 37 was actually episode 5!

I have to admit the first time i saw an episode, I only lasted a few minutes before turning the channel to "chuck" because what I saw was the baseist, sterotypical geek behavior. I was amazed that they hadn't actually set it in somebody's basement..

then I gave it another chance and was hooked. so much that I went back and bought the first season on DVD.

Now, to be fair, the writing on the first few did tend to "over-geek" and throw out character names and geek terms without getting them quite "right" and they have taken a more enlightened view of Geek culture since.

I think the best thing they did was smarten up Penny (and make her as much a "geek" in her own way)

I still wish they'd move Wolowitz out of his Mother's house, tho. He's still too much of a token stereotype.

Yeah, but he was the only thing horrible enough to break Penny of her online gaming addiction.

They could have Kuthrapali(sp?) and Wolowitz move in together (like Sheldon and Leonard)

that way, they could justify building a new set and all kinds of story possiblities open up for them both (wolowitz tasting true independence and not liking it, etc...) they could become a less functional (or bizzaro) version of
Sheldon and Leonard.
