It seems as though they give that thing to Baldwin by default now.
Anyhoo, great start to the season although Sheldon seems to be slowly changing, he's calmer, more together, not the bundle of exposed nerves he was earlier in the series and a better part of last year.
I like Sheldon when he's frazzled, befuddled and generally irritated by his perceived ignorance of all those around him.

The ratings for the first new episode in the new timeslot seem to confirm that CBS made a great choice in moving BBT. It lost only a miniscule 600K viewers from the big 2HM lead-in (less than 5%) and gives them a powerhouse pairing from 9-10 on Mondays.

While I wasn't completely thrilled with last nights episode, I still enjoyed the ranting of Sheldon. Laurie Metcalf is just pure genius in the role of Sheldons mother and I hope they do more with her this year. I have to admit that I thought they would/should take it a little bit slower with Leonard and Penny. I thought it was waaaaaay too rushed. Space it out over a couple of episodes or something, but to just throw them in bed like that. it didn't work for me.
Loved Howards red cowboy hat and his "Inspector Clouseau" look!
I loved the line by Sheldons mother to Raj about the third world demon inside him!

For some reason with that little stach he reminded me of Freddy Mercury lol.
Agreed regarding Leonard and Penny, way too easy. Hopefully that last scene will signify that they'll take it easy.

I agree, so far this season hasn't captured the magic of some of this shows best.
The way they are handling the Penny and Leonard thing is awful IMO, they are turning it into something seedy, it doesn't feel special as it should, it just looks like they're having sex a lot.
Hopefully the writers aren't trying to change things because the show has grown in popularity, I hate when shows do that, often times it ends up taking away what made it special to begin with.

When Lewis Black targeted on Koothrappali's Indian heritage (jobs going over to India), that was an unadvised joke that had all the buoyancy of a lead balloon.
I was sort of reminded of my own geek-ness when I knew why certain comic book issues were important (because they used fairly obscure titles w/r/t general population's knowledge of comic book issues from the silver age, Fantastic Four 48 and Flash 123).

Last nights episode had some funny moments, but overall I was bored. Like others have mentioned, the Penny Leonard thing is going to get old quick and the way they are going about it is ruining it for me. I'm sad that I am not enjoying this show as much this season only two episodes in.

I would actually like to see Leonard and Penny go back to being friends so I got excited when she began to entertain the idea.
I would also like to add that Leonard is getting far too much sex on this show, I liked him when he was on the more geeky side of things as he was in season one, he was much more endearing then.

Loved the open, with the french toast. They actually had me thinking he might reconsider because it smelled so good, but, of course, wrong day!
Did the "Two and a Half Men" fans notice inside joke? I'm not a regular viewer, but somehow I have seen the episode where Charlie had to write a theme song for "Oshikuru Demon Samurai" three times...

I was more concerned that Penny didn't totally immerse the bread slices in the egg batter. That's no way to make french toast.

There were other things I was paying attention to besides the frech toast technique, sorry.

I agree. This episode was so funny and I hope an indication of what we can look forward to in the coming episodes. Goth Howard was my favorite of the night.

I wonder how many takes were required for Penny to catch the piece that Sheldon tossed her? :laugh:

The "Eye of the Tiger" sequences slayed me.
Penny was looking delicious in her after-sex glow. Leonard...not so much.
