It's hit and miss with this cast; there have been some gems of episodes in recent years. (Chris Pine a few weeks ago, Margot Robbie, Larry David, Dwayne Johnson in 2015.) A 1995-like "clean sweep" seems unlikely.

I'll miss Jacob and her being the long-suffering wife feeding Totino's Pizza Rolls to her "hungry guys."

Well aware; went to a taping of "Conan" (whose stage is right across from TBBT at Warner Bros. Studios) and Jimmy Pardo served as warmup comic.

I obviously understand the context of the joke, given Sheldon's eccentricities and Leonard as his, by any measure, normal-behaving friend. Just the rapid-fire repetition and resulting loud laughter of the audience after each utterance—and there are many in such quick succession—is questionable. And that's regardless…

Of course it's subjective, but I doubt that an audience of several hundred people all unanimously think something is funny when uttered in rapid succession in such a short period of time. That goes for much of the material—and yes, I will admit, some is genuinely funny. But like any multi-cam sitcom, not everything…

2014 was a strange year; did that George Lopez romp with Danny Trejo make the cut?

I wish him well in his new jorb.

I watched one episode of that on-demand after it was canceled, and for the life of me, I just didn't get it.

No, Reese De'What remains a semi-happy married man.

I enjoyed him from his portrayal of ghetto character "Mark Payne" way back when Michael Phelps hosted; he was a great cast member and brought a decent but not overbearing energy to his characters.

But just take the scene above when Leonard is fumbling around the ball pit trying to reach Sheldon and the latter character says "Bazinga!" a number of times with the audience hooting and hollering. Why would something not particularly funny in the first place be met with laughter of equal or greater intensity each…

TBBT is live, but I would imagine laughter is sweetened in post-production. Does Sheldon saying "Bazinga!" in a ball pit 15 times equate to howling audience laughter after each utterance? Doubtful.

Man, this was a stinker. I trudged through all 22 episodes, and while there was a little character development and minor story arcs towards the end, the show was unfunny, and everything fell flat on its face.

I don't know, man; there was a lot of that generation that threw its support behind Bernie. Not universal, but quite significant.

I don't think there was a laugh track for TGI. Any time a lame joke or supposedly funny situation emanated (which almost always died), it was met with audience titters. Very few genuinely LOL moments—and the audience clearly thought so.

I think I remember; she was wearing the mustard and red waitress skirt, no?

I omitted Earl because given his past, he seems like an interesting, colorful character and not a stereotype.

"Uh…"

Max has a big rack, Caroline is a ditzy blonde, Han is short and Asian, Oleg is an oversexed European. That was gold for the writers apparently, even if the material didn't land—and it certainly didn't much of the time.

Alas, the second chance ran out for these two lovelies.
