I still love this show and have been watching back-to-back episodes.

I was excited when it went to syndication.

Also, we named our cats Sheldon and Leonard.

I enjoy it on syndication. I can now watch The Big Bang Theory, switch the channel to avoid Two and a Half Men, and switch back to watch the second episode of The Big Bang Theory.

Cool cat names.

Sheldon I think makes the entire show! He is the best character!!

I find it ironic that this thread was bumped today, as this show just happened to play on my flight to Houston earlier, and I actually decided to watch it for the first time ever.

But I have to say.. I thought it was AWFUL. I didn't even chuckle. Not once. And the "audience" laughing was obnoxious and annoying, and it seemed like it was previously recorded and played back every 5 seconds during the show.

I don't even think this is worth watching a second time.

But that's just my opinion

Huh. And normally your opinions are . . . reasonable.

Big Bang is awesome.

I have to say, ASTalumna06, you might have not gotten the full experience watching it in flight and without most of the back story. Try to find season 1 somewhere and give it another shot. There was one season (I can't remember which) that was decidedly less funny than the others and if you caught one of those episodes without knowing any of the characters, I could see you not getting it.

I, on the other hand, am devastated that we don't get BBT here. We recently watched all of the episodes (on disk) from season 1 to last season and now I have to figure out how to get my hands on the current ones.

Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty,
Little Ball of Fur.
Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty,
Purr, purr, purr.

Just 'cause.

I may or may not sing this to Sheldon (my cat Sheldon) once a week.

We didn't go in there thinking that we'd name them Sheldon and Leonard, but there was another kitten in the shelter named Sheldon and we thought it was the most perfect name for a cat ever. Because we got two, and one was decidedly more spazzy and one was decidedly more "normal," we went for it.

When they're adult cats maybe we'll start calling them Dr. Sheldon Cooper and Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, but I think that might be taking it a bit too far.

You may already know this, but Sheldon and Leonard were named for Sheldon Leonard, an actor in over 100 films and TV episodes (including It's a Wonderful Life, Guys and Dolls, I Love Lucy and Cheers) and producer of many shows, including The Danny Thomas Show, The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, I Spy, My World and Welcome to It and Gomer Pyle, USMC.

Yes, I did know this. The cats are named specifically for the characters on BBT, though, because we thought their personalities matched pretty well (Sheldon hides when new people come in the house, Leonard is better at dealing with that, they're both kinda weird but Leonard much less so). But I do love Sheldon Leonard as well.
