When Penny says " It's just a toy robot" I can't help but pause on Sheldons face. His facial expressions are some of the best. Raj had some great lines in this episode.
* Man, call spoiler alert before you say things like that.
* what part of america is that accent from?
* Maybe we should enter you in the killer robot competition (said through Leonard)
* Did you know he writese poetry? Mostly about men from nantucket and hermits named dave, but he does it with real sensativity.
Two thoughts: I too thought Howard's mom was Estelle, but no its Carol Ann Susi.
I thought the V.C. was good, but only because I really have no interest in any of those movies anyway. The simple boring descriptions were pretty funny to me.
Another spectacular performance by Parsons. I'm hoping that this Barry crypky (sp?) will be in more episodes as well. Those two are funny together.
Howard had some funny moments in last night ep. I thought it was great how he wanted out of his friendship with Sheldon. Also, his line to Penny about how he must be looking pretty good about now was great.
I do think, however, they've found the line for Sheldon's facial actions when disturbed. While the interrupting scene so Sheldon couldn't finish his explanation was humorous, it also seemed like it was written specifically to see Parsons mug it up. So, I hope they back away from that aspect of Sheldon and play up his cluelessness - like the scene with the little girl.
Oh, and I liked how Howard solved Sheldon's infinite loop. Wouldn't surprise me to see that algorithm show up on the internet soon, either.
And I agree, having Crypky show up every now and again would be good. (I even like how Sheldon says his name- it seems like he really rushes it)
Not to sound like a broken record but I am always in constant amazment at how Jim gets those rapid-fire science-laden shpeels out of his mouth without getting tongue tied beyond beliefe!
I wonder how many takes it took to get some of his stuff out right this week lol.
While I like Krypkie I would prefer it if they used him sparingly, his constant presence could become, like Stephanie, intrusive to the group.
The sight of Sheldon just going limp and hanging suspended in the air will be with me for a long time and is the anti Tom Cruise suspended from the harness in Mission: Impossible.
As for comedies, this show has moved up there with King of Queens and Friends, for me anyway. All three are shows I can watch repeatedly and still laugh in the same spots.
How can any best comedy series of all time not include Seinfeld, All In The Family, Mary Tyler Moore show and Cheers to name a few is beyond me unless your 15 years old?
Agreed, RickGr, i'm also partial to The Honeymooners, Three's Company and (one that never gets the respect it deserves) Sledge Hammer!.
Also, and I made a point to put this one in a sentence all by itself because it's in a class all by itself...Mystery Science Theater 3000. I know they show movies but it was indeed a comedy series so I think it qualifies.
I've lost gallons of tears over the years laughing uncontrollably at that show.
There is an interview with Parsons where he speaks about having an amazing talent for memorization. He said all that science speak means nothing to him.
Right, he's said that in one of his interviews with Craig Ferguson if I recall correctly, I was mainly wondering how he can physically say that stuff without getting tripped up lol.
He must have amazing talent for talking, too hehe.
Damn I want to see a gag reel from this show!
EDIT: Nevermind, you edited you post to include that interview lol. Sorry, Lucia.
