Sheldon: “I'm sorry, I can't imagine any of that.” Exactly, Sheldon. That's as it should be. I heard a rumor this past week that that this season of The Big Bang Theory might end with some kind of Sheldon-Penny hook-up, but I think tonight's episode ...

"The White Asparagus Triangulation" Sheldon tries to 'help' Leonard in his new relationship. Very funny. Sheldon is paired with Penny for several scenes, all hilarious, and spends the rest of the episode annoying Leonard and his new girlfriend. The other two are sidelined a bit, and Leslie is completely left out. Again. I thought she was being added to the cast full time. What gives? Reaper. Season 2, Episode 4.

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) Once again, the show take two of the core five characters and pits them against one another in a 'battle'. While it is no longer remarkable that the show is incredibly funny, it is amazing that the show can create hilarity from any aspect of these characters and their lives. I don't mean the plots. I mean the tiny details of every episode. Think about it: the main story is always very funny, the one-liners are always very funny, the things that the characters are talking about are funny, the 'real' lives of the characters are also very funny. So it doesn't matter what direction the show takes from scene to scene. A scene that advances the plot will be funny, a scenes where the characters argue about Star Trek will be funny, a scene where Howard has to dea...   [read the full post]

"The Panty Piñata Polarization" Penny and Sheldon go to war, while the other guys try to find the Next Top Model house. Wonderful. Hilarious. Driven by the character traits of Sheldon and Penny. Since Leonard secretly helps Penny in the end, this cleverly keeps the possibility of romance between them going without actually boring us by writing about it. Reaper. Season 2, Episode 2.

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 07.30 The Big Bang Theory 08.00 The Closer 09.00 House The Big Bang Theory. Season 2, Episode 5. "The Euclid Alternative" Sheldon learns to drive. Amusing example of one of the show's oft-used plots: Sheldon's quirky ways annoy the others. The opening ten minutes are the best: Sheldon forces Penny into giving him a lift to work. Once he sets about learning to drive the humour is more predictable and less specific to these characters and this show. Lots of past sitcoms (Perfect Strangers and Taxi spring to mind) have shown us what happens when quirky characters learn to drive (or navigate the hallways of the DMV). House. Season 5, Episode 15.

"The Griffin Equivalency" Fame goes to Raj's head. Average episode. Raj and Penny are paired, for once, and the 'comedy' comes from the fact that the normally shy guy turns arrogant and obnoxious. None of it is particularly funny, but there is an amusing moment where Leonard apparently sees Raj leaving Penny's appartment the next morning. The Closer. Season 4, Episode 14.

The Office" is a show without formula episodes, indeed pretty much every story is about a break from the routine of day-to-day office life, but this installment is even more of a departure than normal. For the second week in a row Michael and Pam are away from the office and, more important, Pam is away from Jim. Don't get me wrong I love them as a couple but the show needs to keep them busy in other plotlines. Pam makes a great partner for Michael and Jenna Fischer is hilarious when Pam has to step up and fill in for Michael after his melt-down.   [read the full post]

"The Codpiece Topology" Leonard dates Leslie. The wonderful Sara Gilbert makes a return to the show. Now as a regular. Excellent news. Gilbert is a superb talent who has been trapped in sub-par material for far too long. Not any more: Big Bang Theory might well the funniest show on TV right now. Leonard and Penny are no more. No surprise there. The show needs to keep them apart, in order to fuel more suspense. I have no problems with that, now that we all know Penny likes Leonard we can see a future for them and it makes perfect sense to keep them apart for a while longer. Makes sense? Huh, it's practically a TV tradition!   [read the full post]

As he's waiting, Leslie Winkle does a dramatic tuck-and-roll into the safe haven (sorry, I don't know paintball) and for some random reason, decides to seize the invigoration of paintball war by making out with Howard.

"The Bad Fish Paradigm" Sheldon tries to keep a secret that Penny has confided in him. Besides, the show isn't about Leonard and Penny as a potential couple. There are many more important things to be enjoyed in this show. Sheldon is probably the single best thing about the show and his interactions with Penny dominate this episode and provide a multitude of laughs.
