    A lot of people have told me that I remind them of Sheldon. Then I watches some episodes of the show and now I'm sad.

    I know somebody who is almost exactly like Sheldon, PhD and all. Also, I somehow picture our daniel being a slightly more socially inept version of Sheldon.

    Having worked in Silicon Valley, I know a lot of Sheldons.

    I even remind myself of Sheldon at times.

    This is a great show. I love watching it too, not just because my 'computer geek' husband does... It shows the world that all of us are the same...we're either funny or we're not, and all have similar goals in life.

    A friend recently saw "Sheldon" at a restaurant with his friends, and said that he seemed to be acting just as he does on the show. BTW, the show is taped in front of a live audience, are you all sure about the "laugh track" bit? If you rent the DVDs from Netflix, you get a lot of extra stuff, including interviews with the cast and the audience warm-up before the taping. You also get the bloopers, etc. Other than news, this is about the only show I watch regularly.

    I work and have worked Swing Shift for many years.
    One of the advantages, or at least I perceive it as an advantage, is that I am not tempted to watch a lot of television. There is nothing on Morning Television that I feel inclined to watch, and by the time I get home, the first run series television has aired.

    Which leaves me with the freedom of ignoring a lot of television.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't think there is anything necessarily wrong with television as entertainment, and I have a subscription to Netflix which allows me to watch shows any time I want, usually entire seasons, or runs at a time. But I find myself "years" behind the common immediately popular series.

    That being said, I have a friend that LOVES "Big Bang Theory" and continues to recommend I watch it.

    Since it's popular now? That probably means I'll get into it, about a year or two years from now.

    Most of it is crap not worth watching, I quite agree. I found BBT several seasons in, also at the insistence of a good friend. My family likes it, too, though I have to endure a lot of Sheldon jokes.

    We were late getting into it as well, also on the recommendation of a friend. I think we started toward the end of Season 5, but then got the DVDs from Netflix and played catch-up. A lot of them we had seen as reruns, and they are sometimes out of order and from different seasons, so some of the running jokes and characters are out of sync too. I tell first time watchers that they need to watch a few shows to really get a feel for the characters and to know when the rest of the cast are pushing buttons on Sheldon or even each other. I usually find tv sitcoms boring, but this show is an exception.

    Do you think Penny could use a new love interest? I'm a good flirt, and I get all the science jokes. I wonder if there are any vacancies in their building..... :)

    I watched a few minutes of BBT on Netflix once. I found it to be as annoying as nearly all TV is. Maybe it's the portrayal of the intelligent guy as a whack job. There have been a couple of TV programs I thought were inspired. The BBC show Coupling is hilarious.

    Simple, and has been around but...
    "A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink.
    The bar tender pours the drink and the neutron asks, 'How much?'
    The bar tender replies... No charge!"

    Although one of my favorite scenes is the one where Sheldon has run away from home. His friends find him at his mom's house in Texas.
    The way Sheldon's mom convinces him to return home is so very priceless!
