Which would be the greatest example of shark jumping since Fonzie actually jumped the shark.

So…Christine Baranski’s the shark, in this case?

Yeah, it is just a sitcom. But drawing from my considerable experience as a former heavy drinker, it bugs me that an ostensibly brilliant person would just choose to start drinking like that, that a non-drinker would just toss back however many shots of whatever brown liquor they were drinking, that anyone drinks and is served in the manner they were (“Hit us again!” repeatedly in a matter of minutes), and she did not act like any of the countless drunks I’ve encountered.

I think convincingly playing drunk is extremely difficult, and IMO CB did not pull it off.

CB played a drunk for several years on Cybil. I believe the character was MaryAnn. Cybill was the American version of Absolutely Fabulous and MaryAnn was the Patsy character. Patsy and Edwina were both dialed down quite a bit for Cybil and MaryAnn. Cybil had to to use her acting chops to play somebody ditzy but convincingly likable. The likable part was a lot of work.

“Are you guys drunk?”

“I hope so. Otherwise, why would we have gone to Del Taco?”

Before the series is over, Sheldon is going to have sex with Leonard’s mom. It IS going to happen.

Have you Foreseen it?
