'Red Widow' Gets The Axe
Big Bang Theory meets the Wonder Years

Does it take a brainiac to play a brainiac? No, of course not. But when Danica McKellar guests on The Big Bang Theory on January 11, that's what they'll get. Not only is Danica well-remembered as the nearly-perfect Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, Kevin's neighbor and the girl he always adored, she's also smart as a whip. She has the degrees to prove it. A couple of years ago, TV Squad put Danica In the Limelight. Ryan learned that Danica had graduated Summa cum Laude from UCLA with a degree in Mathematics. She is the McKellar in the Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem.
I'm no genius, but I do like the symmetry of the former Winnie Cooper meeting the present Dr. Sheldon Cooper. Could this be a love connection? I'd like to think so, because thus far -- and I fairly certain of this -- Sheldon is the only one of the four guys who's yet to get some booty. At least that we know of. Perhaps we're going to discover that Sheldon has had multiple partners of the carnal variety, but if so they've all been off-screen.
There's hope for Sheldon, too, because listen to what Danica told the TV Guide: "I play Abby, a grad student at Cal Tech. She's the love interest for one of the characters." Could it be Dr. Cooper? The picture kinda looks like they're together -- they're touching.
By the way, this isn't Danica's first foray into CBS Monday night sitcomland. Remember the How I Met Your Mother episode, "The Pineapple Incident"? Of course you do. Danica was the girl that Ted woke up with the morning after the incident.
