Or Constitution.

Sure, but then so is Sheldon.  They started off being extremely alike, and then she blossomed (ha!) a little quicker in terms of embracing what her somewhat more worldly new friends were trying to teach her, and also had a sexual awakening to boot.  Sheldon's lagging behind her on both those fronts, even though he's…

Though I will admit, the Bakersfield Expedition episode had one of my favorite exchanges: "How can Red Hulk be worthy?" "You don't know his LIFE!!!" ;)

Sure sign that either the writers, the actors or both hadn't actually played the game - at no point did anyone say "roll for Initiative." ;)

Did you actually watch Frasier?  In many ways, restrained characters are much more difficult to play well than ones that are given carte blanche to chew the scenery and tell you how they're feeling or what they're thinking at all times like some overly boisterous Jersey Girl.  It's a rare gift to be able to…

Two of the principle female characters are scientists.  We've had numerous female guest stars show an appreciation for various geeky pursuits, as well as the female leads trying to embrace them to one degree or another.  Don't just fling the misogyny card about willy-nilly.

Hate to break it to you, but aside from unnamed root principles of mathematics and physics, all social facts are just a product of varying degrees of consensus of opinion, and that consensus varies greatly by situation, context and perspective.  Something that "everyone knows" in Manhattan may be a ludicrous notion in…

Because…?  I find them quite amusing, even if I don't always agree with their picks.  When people make shlock, it merits public mockery, especially if said mockery is more entertaining than the shlock was.

You do realize you're on a website which reviews TV shows and movies, labels them with letter grades that mark them as superior or inferior to a certain subjective standard, and then lets commenters continue to debate said opinion?

It wasn't a case of Sheldon being more mellow than we thought when Amy first appeared, it was that he now had what could be considered a "tag team partner" for some of his more obnoxious behavior.  Whereas before there was a chance Sheldon would peter out, or you might be able to change the subject or weather the…

As I recall, the electrolytes in the potato react with the copper wire and create a low level electrical charge adequate for running a digital clock.  I think lemons can be used in roughly the same way, though the chemistry might be slightly different given the prevalence of citric acid.

I think he's a genuinely sweet guy.  A half-century long career in show business, and I can't think of anyone who worked with him who had a bad word to say about him.  I think the reason he never got roasted by the Friar's Club was the fact that it would've been an entire hour+ of jokes about his stammer.  It's like…

Except it's usually done in the Jaime Lannister way:

Yeah, it's like a more problematic version of Niles and Daphne on Frasier.  It tugs at your heartstrings to see the guy pine after the girl he should never be able to get (even if he is sensitive, smarter and more successful), but once he actually gets her we're forced to endure seasons of "hmm, they don't really work…

(Peter Griffin voice): "Borderline alcoholism… heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh…."

They've show her to have a knack for that stuff before.  See Halo.  And paintball.  And most other activities that involve inflicting physical violence on others. ;)

Indeed, very enjoyable, thanks.  To spare you the suspense on the one item (although where this show is concerned, a little actual suspense might be a welcome change), next season will also be 15 episodes: http://www.deadline.com/201…

Hmm… should Ron Howard count?  In the same way (see I Will Probably Forget This Qu's comment) that Kelsey Grammer wasn't the star of Cheers (though he and Bebe Neuwirth were a big part of its success, especially in the later seasons), Ron Howard certainly wasn't the star of the Andy Griffith show.  He got lead credit…

Indeed, given the post-renewal non-finale per episode drop average of 3.75% each week, another 9 episodes (for a standard full order of 24) at that rate of decline would yield a key demo rating of 1.5 for the penultimate episode, with a corresponding 14% finale bounce getting it back to a 1.7.  That would yield a 2.3…

No, Amy didn't start out trying to break Sheldon out of his shell, she started off as basically being a female clone of him.  The writers decided to give her a sexual awakening of sorts (starting with Penny's ex), and since that happened she's been trying to turn Sheldon into someone who can help meet that need.  As…
