God this is hard to watch.
Yeah I'm with shcild on this. Penny and AoC references make it too hard for me to tear away though. I didn't know I'd watched so much of it (I dig the blond more than the nerds). That said, the laughtrack is probably going to be what drives me away this time. The jewish and indian friends are still horribly written. I've known lots of jewish stereotypes in my time having spent the majority of my formative years in hebrew school (that's Sunday school that happens on Monday and Wednesday AND Sunday for those who don't know) and in my community and not a single one of them strikes me as that kind of person. He is truly intolerable. |

Is wearing short sleeve t-shirts over long sleeve t-shirts all the rage now?

That's been a staple of geek wear for years. Or at least more than a few sysadmins I've worked with. |

As someone posted above, it was pretty much universal in the early 1990's. Although, lately I've seen a few long sleeve shits that were trying to look like you had a short sleeve shirt on over a long sleeve shirt but was really just had different color sleeves sewn on at the elbow.. |

It didn't seem to happen in Europe. Or I didn't notice, maybe.

I'm not the most attentive observer regarding clothes, but I don't think that was a big thing in Europe either.

Laugh track and half the characters being neither funny nor hot makes this show pretty unwatchable.
It seems I'm on an agreeing with schild trend recently...

Over here, we do not get this 'laugh track' of which you speak. I have noticed previously that Americans will take a perfectly good British Show, like M*A*S*H and then ruin it by putting lolz all over it. It's like you need cues to laugh.  |

M*A*S*H was a live audience if I remember correctly. I don't mind spontaneous laughter, it's canned laughter that irritates me.

It had a laugh track in the US but not when it aired in the UK. |

British TV back then could barely afford actors and a camera, overlaying sound would've destroyed the budget. It has not gotten better since. |

Evidently its the latest rage. My wife went out and bought my son the latest fashion (he is almost 2) and that included the "look" of long sleeve with short sleeve shirt, but in reality its a single outfit.
And Goddamnit, he looks good. I am jealous!

I liked how the episode was (but wasn't) about a meteor shower and ran on the same day that the Leonids Meteor Shower peaked in the real world.

It's really weird that the performance of certain actors varies depending on who they are working with.
Kaley Cuoco is really great when she's paired with Jim Parsons and really bad when she's paired with Johnny Galecki.
Another example is House where Olivia Wilde is great when she has to work with Hugh Laurie and really bad when she has to work with Omar Epps

The only name in that whole post I know is Hugh Laurie. Sheesh. It's getting as confusing around here as it is when I accidentally watch one of those celebrity shows! At least they have pics, though, so there's half a chance I'll recognise the faces.

Where you eating the cookies while you watched it? A couple of the bits with Sheldon and Penny were cute, but the entire camping sequence was the worst example of over the top sitcom cliche I've seen in years. Maybe next week they can get stuck in a freezer and remember all the crazy things that happened to them over the last two years! The show works for me, because even though it uses established sitcom principles, at least it has the whole technology/nerd culture twist to keep it fresh. I didn't feel any of that in the last episode. Also, it felt like a 50s sitcom approach to how pot affects you. |

New episode was great with Raj and Sheldon double-dating. The last scene was funny as hell.

Looks like they are making Sheldon a bit more normal. Wheaton! Decent episode, like that Penny and Leonard are having trouble. I like that they bring back characters, glad to see Wheaton up to his Sheldon-tormenting.

RISE! God, I love this show. If you don't like it, you hate fun. (or have an (advanced?) degree in the liberal arts)Can't wait for Penny and Leonard getting together again, though. We all know its inevitable, right ?  |

The female additions to the cast have been great, even Pryia. I think Amy is about ready for sex and it just ain't gonna happen with Sheldon. Just great, funny relationships all around. But yeah, Leonard and Penny is the heart of the show. A bit surprised Sheldon put the train engine in his mouth, he must have been cleaning it for two hours.
Oh and Bernadette's yelling was priceless!

Yeah. Sheldon does show some very odd behavior this season, I hope they writers don't go full retard. I felt him to be way out of character in the last episode (The train incident ) |

It helps that one is the best episode they've ever done.
Watched the 100 special behind the scenes and it was interesting to see the live audience laughing. They did sound exactly like a laugh track.
