He's just there to facilitate dialogue, and they keep trying (and failing) to figure out how to best use him.</p> <p>Sheldon's the reason to watch.</p> <p>I'm with Jordo about the Penny/Sheldon thing.

I watch it weekly (at least when it's new), and it keeps getting better and better as they figure out what's actually funny about the characters.</p> <p>Glad you're on board. I'm far more interested in this one than Lost, so this was a welcome post.</p> <p>The one they just reran last week, where Penny gets addicted to the MMORPG, is pretty good. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/loving-the-big-bang-theory#post-1456 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:03:31 +0000 Joe Haygood 1456@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>I have to admit that I had ignored this show for quite some time, but I am really enjoying it. I was exposed to it as most might have been, in Gamestops while short clips are playing on the TV.</p> <p>I really have come to enjoy the first season via Netflix, so I might be putting this into rotation. While it is not gaming centric, it does have some great gaming conventions used. I might even write up a review for it. </p>
