I agree entirely.
If it doesn’t, Sheldon isn’t doing his job.
The Big Bang Theory, Season 10, Episode 14 (February 2, 2017) -- "The Emotion Detection Automation "
Being somewhat lactose intolerant myself, yogurt is generally safe.
Yogurt can also be made from soy milk. And in one episode Leonard remarked he can eat small amounts of frozen yogurt with no effects.
I suspect that Leonard and Penny’s marital problems will be treated in exactly the same way as Penny’s heavy drinking. As material for comedy in the occasional episode, with no expectation that it ought to lead into a long-term storyline in which a potentially serious issue is addressed. Some sitcoms can deal well with more dramatic or thought-provoking material, but I don’t think The Big Bang Theory is one of them.
I thought it was odd that the hearing-impaired ex-girlfriend sat beside Howard and Raj rather than in the chair across from them. You’d figure it would be easier for her to read lips and for Howard to translate if they were looking at each other straight on.
I also totally thought that Howard and Raj were going to make out at the end.
Well, the only reason I’d argue your point (which I’ve put in bold) is Chuck Lorre’s involvement in the show. Sure, he’s been known to work on sit-coms that are as far from being dramatic as you could imagine (see 2 1/2 Men) that would reinforce your point, but recent seasons of Mom have shown that Lorre can handle the harsh, dramatic story lines as well. So I wouldn’t put it past them from handling their relationship more seriously.
Hearing people don’t know, and Howard isn’t an interpreter, and doesn’t even really know sign language that well.
yeah
Fair point. I almost said “Chuck Lorre shows don’t deal with serious issues,” but then I remembered Mom (though I don’t watch it), and even some earlier stuff like the domestic abuse and alcoholism undercurrents to Grace Under Fire. Still, I don’t get that feel from Big Bang. The only really dramatic storyline they’ve done was the death of Howard’s mother, and that was sort of forced on them by the passing of Carol Ann Susi. I just don’t see it as the kind of show that would deal with the divorce of its primary romantic couple, particularly since it’s probably only got a season or two left in it, and that would mean ending the whole show on a really down note.
I have to say that it’s really nice to see someone online be accurate on this subject.
Even so, I have a slight nitpick. If the yogurt says “live and active cultures” on the carton, then it will continue to digest lactose in the original milk inside your intestines. It may not, however, digest all the *added *lactose from additional milk product used to cut down the sourness. IOW, it’s not whether the yogurt is cultured - it all is, technically - but whether the yogurt has been overly altered from the old-fashioned soured product that it was originally created to be.
Or, the short answer: what she said.
Another show that did the ex-girlfriend review was Seinfeld. In S05E01 The Mango, after Jerry finds out about Elaine’s “fake, fake, fake”, he visits several exes to find out if they faked too. Those were one at a time.
I think there might have been another time Jerry or George visited exes to get reviews.
As to this TBBT episode. Fairly decent, basically the Raj and Howard part for the win and the Sheldon, etc. stuff was just filler but not horrible. Could see the “Now you’re mad.” joke coming a mile away.
Nice to see Raj and Howard talk openly about their relationship.
You know, if they just dropped Penny and Leonard there’s a chance this could be a much better show.
Ignorance fought! Thank you!
