The Big Bang Theory (CBS)

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.

I LOVE BIG BANG THEORY!!!

Last Christmas, my husband got me the first 3 seasons on DVD. I just gotta get the 4th season now....

I love how Penny now has girlfriends to chat with. Last Halloween, a sorority sister of mine and her husband dressed up as Sheldon and Amy.

You all enjoy your show! I'm out.

Don't worry. We still like you.

We're just smarter than you I guess.

I kid. Seriously, I kid.

My favorite line last night: "A cat can have her kittens in the oven, but that doesn't make them biscuits."

LOL... I had to rewind it and make sure I heard her say what I thought she said.

I love this show!! CBS hadn't done it win previous seasons, but BBT episodes are now available to watch online on CBSs site the next day. I'm not sure how long each episode is up though.
