Yes yes yes... All very interesting.

But how smash is Kaley looking this season?

(This really will be the only reason to bother this year.)

flippin hundreds of episodes now but every time I turn on the TV its the same ones.
One of them does a Kenneth Williams act I believe but no one in the USA knows who that is
so he is showered with praise.

Bit quiet in here...

How are we finding the new series?

Gotta admit, after struggling through the first episode and a half, I'm done. The small amount of interest I did have has completely evaporated.

Shame

Shark jumped years ago.

Core story long completed.

Character Progression zero.

It's familiar and 'comfortable' but it's not been funny or interesting for a few years now, should have let it die at the end of series 8 or 9 really.

I think it will go the way of 'Friends' as I feel the show has run it course

I think the last 2 episodes have been a return to form imo.

Ok a world where everything is now 45-60 mins long and everybody gets killed every week it’s nice to have something light to watch just for 20 mins so I still enjoy it.

For the first time last nights episode mentioned something i have a tiny amount of knowledge about. Having mentioned so many people who were influential in the development of the electric light bulb on last nights episode, i was surprised they did not mention Joseph Wilson Swan, the man who did "invented" the light bulb. In February 1879 he demonstrated to seven hundred people in Newcastle-upon-Tyne his successful lamp. He patented his process for removing air from the bulb, but he thought the idea of making a filament lamp so obvious it wasn't worth patenting. he reckoned without Thomas Alva Edison. In October 1879 Edison patented the carbon - filament lamp. Swan sent a note to the journal Nature saying that he had been making carbonised filaments for 15 years. Edison who was a bully, threatened to sue for patent infringment. Swan pointed out that he had been making these lamps before Edison applied for his patent. In the end they stopped arguing and joined forces, and formed the Edison & Swan Electric Light Co.
O.K. 'nerdy' bit over.

This exactly. The last two or three seasons of Friends, all the characters had devolved into one note caricatures of their previous selves. I feel like BBT is the going in the same direction. They are still in geeky settings (comic book store, CalTech), but aren't really doing geeky things so much anymore.

The most telling thing is when E4 shows a whole run of earlier episodes (as they did last weekend) and you realise how good it was once. Y'know before for example Howard became so hen-pecked, and Sheldon became so... gay.

Not just me then! Yeah, pretty annoying but what can we expect from the nation that gave us the travesty of U571 vomit
