Episode recap: The Shiksa Indeterminacy

Episode Recap by TV Guide News

We're at the university. Leonard and Rejesh are strolling along, checking out an ad calling for volunteers for a study about anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia (look it up), and there's Howard staking out a hot woman -- in Sheldon's office? Our Sheldon? Obviously, she's lost, or issuing a summons, or whatever. We learn she's Sheldon, ahem, Shelly's twin... read full recap

All I know is that Kaley Cuoco should have made the TV Guide's sexiest list. She is as pretty as any of the other ladies on TV. read more

The funniest episode since they came back from the strike. We've laughed after watching it at least 3 other times since the original airing. read more

Ask Matt | 5/12/2008
Q: I'm sort of an amateur physics/astrophysics buff, and so many of the references in The Big Bang Theory seem to ring true to pop science articles and books I read about string theory, quantum mechanics, etc. Which of the show's writers are the closet Ph.D.s? I can see where a consultant could be used to check accuracy, but not to dream up an endless stream of gags that are straight out of The Journal of Irreproducible Results (sponsors of the annual Ignoble Prizes). A: For the answer, I turn read more

We're at the university. Leonard and Rejesh are strolling along, checking out an ad calling for volunteers for a study about anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia (look it up), and there's Howard staking out a hot woman -- in Sheldon's office? Our Sheldon? Obviously, she's lost, or issuing a summons, or whatever. We learn she's Sheldon, ahem, Shelly's twin sister.There isn't a lot of symbiosis between Missy and Shelly. She's tall and beautiful and kind of normal. He's tall, not and not. And she doesn't speak in scientific tongues. Wait, what's that sound? Oh, yes, the mating call of the 20-something physicist. Leonard, Howard and Rajesh convince Missy to stay at Shelly and Leonard's (she's off to a wedding tomorrow and a hot girl really shouldn't be traversing the freeways during rush hour). So let the games begin.Back at Chez Scientifica, Missy has got the guys mesmerized with stories about childhood (I would have loved to see a demonstration of how Sheldon transformed her Easy... read more

Q: First, I just want you to know that I love how you love television! You have a pure passion for it, and I love that. You give your opinion on programs, whether positive or negative, and you don't criticize people who think differently. I actually watched a full episode of Two and a Half Men, and while I can understand its popularity, all the double entendres and vulgarity actually turned me off. But I watched it and formed my own opinion, and that's because of you. As for my question, I've .. read more
My Big Bang Theory: Comic Geniuses at Work | Roush Review | 4/30/2008
Somewhere in the sitcom cosmos, Felix Unger (Tony Randall version) is smiling, because there's a new odd couple in town, and a frenetically funny fussbudget on the loose who makes Felix seem almost normal. Equal parts smart and silly, and refreshingly short on smarminess, The Big Bang Theory is the season's one great new classic comedy. As Sheldon Cooper, a prickly mathematical genius who hasn't yet figured out the formula for successful human interaction, Jim Parsons is a marvelous ... read more
Episode recap: The Nerdvana Annihilation | The Big Bang Theory Show Blog | 4/29/2008
The guys are hanging out and they all go in on a $800 bid on a time machine prop from the original The Time Machine movie. Of course, they'll be outbid. Whew! That was close. What in the world would they do with a time machine? Except they won the auction.Why didn't anyone else bid? Oh, because it's about the size of a Renault. Didn't Leonard say it was miniature?Cut to the best animation/opening sequence in all of television.Step by step, Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Rajesh push and pull the time machine up the stairs. But they're blocking the stairwell and Penny has to get to work. Sheldon suggests she go upstairs to the roof, hop over a few buildings, but don't look down because she might get vertigo. What? Is he kidding? "Oh, I never joke when it comes to vertigo," deadpans Sheldon.You know what, this time machine looks pretty cool. After all, this is the machine that transported Rod Taylor from Victorian England into the post-apocalyptic future with those subterranean... read more
