The Big Bang Theory


Tuesday Jim and I drove to Burbank to see a taping of The Big Bang Theory. This is the show's second season and it has become a new favorite of ours. We always say we live so close to these things (and they are free) that we need to go see more shows, it just is few and far between. We got there pretty early so got pretty good seats. But the seats were tiny and really cramped (and the boy next to me was kind of stinky). I looked around and whipered to Jim: "There are a lot of geeks here." :0) And I half expected that because is a show about geeks essentially.
We arrived around 5pm, were in our seats around 6pm and the taping started at 7pm. What killed was that the taping lasted until almost midnight. I could not believe how long it was. The comedian host did some funny stuff and that helped to pass the time. But then he started mentioning something about pizza and water and napkins. I was waiting for the catch because I have never been fed at a taping before. But sure enough, they fed us. I guess it was because the night was lasting so long. Later one of the directors apologized for how long it was and explained it was because the had an unusually high amount of costume changes.
The show itself was pretty funny. Sheldon has a "labradoodle" fan that is somewhat obsessed with him and forces him to concentrate only on his physics work. He's shouldn't be wasting his time on Halo, paintball or Battlestar Galactica. Penny and the boys are perplexed by this "relationship" and love watching from the sidelines.
Jim has guessed that the show should air November 3 or 10. So keep your eyes out. The episode title is The Cooper-Newinski Theorom.
