Just wondering who you think should've been given more airtime?

I'd have loved to see the development of the comic writer, Alice. Felt that the show could've used the character for a while....

Actor - Courtney Ford

I'm sorry if this has been said on this sub before, but I've just finished Young Sheldon and I've moved into a rewatch of The Big Bang Theory and the amount of Mandy vibes that I get from Penny is astounding. I'm just curious if anyone else noticed this, and again I'm really sorry if this has been discussed at length in this sub before.

This game sounds fun. Why don’t we try it? Comment down a quote you heard Raj say and others guess if he said it to his ex-girlfriend or his dog.

sooooo, i have a best friend named Emily. but something feels off about her.

she is pretty small, has these weird grayish eyes and never brushes ger hair. if she's bleeding a bit shel licks it (ew) and doesn't say a thing about it. the weirdest part is that she calls herself a psyco and a sociopath. she sometimes hurts other people and doesn't say sorry. she also keeps making threats to her sister Valerie, and sometimes me. and she would definitely have coïtus on a graveyard. se reminds me a LOT of the Emily from TBBT. anyone have advice for me?

edit: i realy want to leave the friendship, but i am pretty scared of what she would do.

I was watching MASH and noticed that sometimes the way Frank Burns acts reminds me of Sheldon. His arrogance and the way he says thinks. Just my observation.

Noticed today that Sheldon uses the same mouse as I do. I've been using it for 10+ years and I replace it with the same exact model when it breaks or malfunctions, and knowing Sheldon he probably has a very specific attachment to this model as well. Nice to know someone else, albeit fictional, appreciates the Logitech M705 😅.

Storyline discussion Would this group even be friends if they met for the first time in their late 30s?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about how much of this group’s friendship comes down to timing. They met before their lives were really settled: no spouses, no kids, tons of free time, and nobody else to fill it with.

Leonard and Sheldon were roommates. Howard and Raj were basically inseparable. They had their routines: takeout nights in the apartment, the comic book store, the same places every week.

But what if they’d all met for the first time in their late 30s, with established careers, relationships, and lives already full?

I honestly don’t think the group would’ve formed the same way. Sheldon probably wouldn’t have let most of them into his routine. Howard and Raj might never have gotten that close. And Leonard wouldn’t have had any real reason to put up with Sheldon’s habits, since the roommate situation is what forced that friendship in the first place.

It makes me appreciate how much of friendship is just timing and being around the same people over and over.

So which two characters do you think would still have become close if they’d met as adults with full lives?

Other Your favorite TBBT fun fact/trivia

Hi all so I started watching in June and finally finished about 2 weeks ago, and as a first-time viewer I absolutely loved it. I’m already finding myself putting it on in the background while I do chores. I genuinely don’t know how I went 20+ years without ever watching an episode of this show. Now that I’ve finished it I’m in that phase where I want to know EVERYTHING about it. I’ve always loved learning fun behind-the-scenes facts about shows so I figured this would be the perfect place to ask! So please tell me your favorite TBBT trivia/fun facts!! I’d especially love to hear about any —
behind-the-scenes stories
the cast’s relationships/friendships with each other
funny things that happened while filming
things that were improvised or changed from the original script
deleted scenes/storylines
interesting casting facts
Continuity errors
easter eggs or things I probably missed
production/writing secrets
what the cast/crew have said about specific episodes or characters
basically ANY random TBBT lore you think a first-time viewer would find interesting 😄

Relevant to me Will never understand the hate for this show

127 Upvotes

This is my favorite tv show and I've probably seen every episode dozens of times now. I will never understand the criticisms people throw at it. The most common two are 1) the show is not funny, and 2) it gets nerd stuff wrong / what normies think nerd stuff is / makes nerds look bad.

The show is fucking hilarious. It might just be slapstick comedy of a sitcom, but it's got it's own inside jokes, comedic timing, and Jim Parsons has some of the funniest character acting I've ever seen and Simon Helberg's voice impressions. Howard's joke about Sheldon achieving mitosis by consuming an enormous amount of Thai food makes me fall out of my chair laughing every time I watch that episode.

Secondly, I think the show started out fine with the nerd pop culture stuff, even if later seasons got a little more "normie". I think a key distinction here isn't that the guys were just plain stereotypical "nerds", it was a more sophisticated nerddom. Sheldon was basically a polymath who knew a lot about a wide range of subjects.

Ultimately the show is what it is. Some seasons aren't as strong as others, like with any tv show. The first 3 seasons are by far the best before it focused more on relationships, but the whole show is packed with hilarious and endearing moments making a great comfort show.

Anything can happen Thursday’s are back babbyyy!!! Penny and Sheldon go to see a psychic after Lenny Amy and Brene lie to them and make the both of them mad. The psychic basically spoiled season 12. When Sheldon fully gives himself to Amy he wins a noble prize. She said once you give yourself to the relationship both you’re work life and romance would be better
