The Big Bang Theory: The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation (season premiere)

I love the beards and wigs on these guys but the makeup on Sheldon was terrible. He has a tan that’s uneven. That was funny when Sheldon’s mom thought he was sassing her in Eskimo talk when he was really speaking in Latin. I totally didn’t expect Penny to jump Leonard’s bones though. Honestly I wouldn’t even have time to watch TV if I didn’t get a free DISH Network Sling adapter http://bit.ly/k80U6m that gives me live or recorded TV from my employee DVR anywhere I go. I had the whole season recorded just waiting for me to have time and the time is now. Now with my iPhone and Galaxy Tab I watch when I have spare time and still spend quality time with my family when I get home.

This show has become a family favourite: it was my husband and thirteen-yr old daughter who introduced it to me.
When the "first come first served" line came up early in the episode, I turned to them and said: "That line will be quoted in TV Squad's write-up". Thanks for not disappointing! I think you (and the comments) caught them all.
Any show that makes you laugh with your family stays on my list. My only complaint is the time slot change, which means that we watch it from the DVR on Tuesday with my daughter.
Looking forward to many laughs this season!

I LOVED when Sheldon cried about missing Comic Con. I went to Comic with my sisters and brother and we waited forever in line to get into Ballroom 20 where the Big Bang Theory panel was going to be. We had great seats near the front and it was such an awesome experience. When Sheldon cried about missing Comic Con I yelled out, "No you didn't!" If I were an emoticon I would be a colon with a capital d. :D

"...all except for Sheldon, whose goatee was much scarier..."

Wasn't that supposed to look Mirror-mirror world Spock's goatee?

Major point for Penny for:

a) Even going to see the new Star Trek eventhough Leonard and Co. were out of town

b) Correctly remembering the plot points of the movie and

c) accurately relating those points to Sheldon.

the only implausible part of the episode was that those four highly intelligent and technically savvy geeks would not have found a way to see the film themselves in the months in the arctic

This show has really grown on me, I think the writing is quirky and fun and the characters are just kooky enough. Favorite part was Sheldon's spat with his mom over Evolution . . . as a science geek in the south, I can relate. . .

I can't believe you didn't even mention Wolowitz and the red cowboy hat... "Hello, I'm wearing a red turtleneck! I want to blend in" "To what, Toy Story?" Hilarious as usual...

You know, I didn't even see it. The biggest problem for me lately is simply that they moved it to 8:30 (well, it's 8:30 for me in the Central Time Zone). I get home from work at 6:30 and it was a welcome Monday wind-down at 7 p.m. But I can't move my schedule around for CBS. I don't care for the three other sitcoms on Monday night, so I watched the local news instead (which considering we had severe thunderstorms moving through, wasn't a bad idea). But by the time 8:30 came around, I was getting paperwork done, and making calls, and taking my shower and I had finished any television for the night.

It doesn't bode well for me keeping up with TBBT anymore.

This show is so lame. The "geek humor" is just so forced. I guess I can understand why non-geeks like it, as it seems to play in to every stereotype there is.

I've watched a handful of episodes from the first season and this season opener and don't think I've found the will to release a chuckle.

I'm glad they also got straight to the question we were all wondering during the summer hiatus!

However, I don't think the relationship "ended" right there... I have a feeling we'll see more of whatever it is they have, if they've even figured it out.

I loved the end title card with the "thank you Comic-Con!" Being one of the people who attended their panel and asked the question regarding which 'Rosanne' co-star Johnny would like to appear on the show next (he said John Goodman!) -- I had to pause and see if I was in the picture. (I don't think so :( )... glad to see the producers are thinking us us fans!
