I just watched both season in like 2 weeks. LOL

Raj and Howard are the best and funniest on the show. Simon Helberg is such a brilliant comedic actor and he's very good with impressions too. I think the funniest moment from the show so far was when Howard pretended to Raj by doing the accent. :lol:

I know Jim Parsons is the one who always gets the praise, but I think Simon deserves the most recognition. The stuff he does on the show is far superior/funny.

Didn't you love how Lenoard's mother made the suggestion that Raj and Howard are a homosexual couple.

What makes Sheldon great are the reactions that his behavior gets (mostly from Penny and Leonard) from the rest of the gang. I really all the cast members, even the recurring players like Howard's mother and Barry Kripke (Raj: what part of the country is that accent from? In regards to Barry's rhotacism)

I wish they had let Penny be in a relationship with Carl for before having her realize she has feelings for Leonard. I also wish they had kept Dr. Stephanie a little longer. Maybe I'm in the minority but Leonard/Penny does nothing for me. It's only funny when he's pinning for her instead of dating her.

I love all the parents, especially Howard's unseen mom.

That's true.

Kripke rocks!

I really don't care much for Penny's relationship with Leonard. I do like Howard constantly hitting on Penny though.

Love it! Howard's the best.

One of my favorite shows! I have both seasons on DVD.

This cast works so well together. Truly a good ensemble.

I like Raj and how he can't speak to women unless he is drunk.

Howard tells him he didn't have it bad growing up,his dad is a gynecologist and they had four servants,

He replies "Two of them were children!"

His parents talk to him over the computer and when they want to lecture him they tell him to"take them outside!"

I like that they never show Howard's mother. It is fun imagining what she would look like.

Episode 3.1: "The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation"

Howard: Damn his Vulcan hearing.

Howard: Sheldon, you remember the first few weeks we were looking for magnetic monopoles and not finding anything and you were acting like an obnoxious giant dictator.

Raj: I thought we were going to be gentle with him.

Howard: That’s why I added the ‘tator. And when we finally found our first positive data, you were so happy.

Sheldon: Oh yes, in the world of emoticons, I was colon-capital-D.

Raj: I like the new look.

Howard (sporting a new moustache): Thanks. I call it the Clooney.

Raj: I call it the Mario and Luigi, but whatever.

Howard: Oh right, and I do? My people already crossed the desert once, we’re done.

Leonard: Will you please take that stupid hat off.

Howard: No, I want to blend it.

Raj: To what, Toy Story?

Episode 3.2: " The Jiminy Conjecture"

Howard: Okay, I believe the chicken made you his bitch.

Raj, Howard and Sheldon are searching for the cricket.

Raj: I wonder what the non-pathetic people are doing tonight.

Sheldon: What was that?

Raj: My stomach. Indian food doesn’t agree with me. Ironic isn’t it.

Sheldon: Interesting, you’re afraid of insects and women, ladybugs must render you catatonic.

"Have you tried turning it off?"...lol

I am so glad they move it to Thursday nights cause I would watch DWTS and miss it most of the time. I do have seasons 1 and 2 on dvd and plan on buying season 3 this weekend.

    • Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.
    • Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success. 
    • I loved those scenes, lol. I thought I was watching a stage play. But I do hear what you're saying.
    • Jason47's episode summaries clarify everything. https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1990-1999-t14806-s150.html The construction company is "AJ Construction" (AJ = Adrienne+Justin).   Jencon Oil was building an oil refinery at the construction site.  This was adjacent to the park. Kirk Geiger played the character Chad Webster. The character Chad was an actor in the movie being made.   The child friend with Shawn-Douglas is his cousin Andrew Donovan. A few episodes prior, Andrew and Shawn-Douglas were at the park playing hide-and-seek. They wandered off where they shouldn't have gone, by slipping through the gate onto the construction site.  Shawn-D fell into the hole at the oil refinery. There were several episodes of trying to rescue Shawn-D.  Finally Carly rescued Shawn-D, but he was discovered to be deaf.  Andrew felt bad, but Bo and Shane both understood that it was an accident.  Carly later taught Shawn-D sign language. Shawn-D was played by Scott Groff. Andrew was played by Bradley Michael Pierce. pics here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070404163013/http://www.childrenofsalem.com/days/kids/shawnandrew/shawnandrew.html Larger context here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.html
    • I had a situation last week where I could watch the new episode on Paramount Plus on my laptop, but it wasn't even listed on my TV as an option.

    • Vicky's best was Ryan. Heck they even got together in heaven. Jake's best was Paulina. Carter & Thomasina.  Sally & Catlin. Marley and ?

    • I'm trying to think whether AW had anything remotely resembling that once Steve was killed off and Alice left a widow. So many young love stories were wrapped up either by marrying and leaving town or marrying and killing off one party. Maybe they acted in the final year as if Vicky and Jake had been that couple all along, but they both had better other mates along the way and also Jake was actively hostile to Vicky at too many points without any subtext of caring about her.
