The Big Bang Theory, Season 9, Episode 8 (November 12, 2015) -- "The Mystery Date Observation"

Yes, I was suitably entertained, as well! It was nice to know that Sheldon has groupies.
Or maybe just the one.

So typically Sheldon. I love Stalker Bernie (giving Leonard the jug to pee in. Heh.)

Second that. Does anyone find this at all funny?

More than one. Remember as few seasons back, when all the grad students were sucking up to him? (Wow. Season 2, Episode 6 “The Cooper-Nowitski Theorem.” I had no idea it was that long ago.)

Ah, yes, that was quite a fun episode. The redhead was sorta cute but controlling. Hilarious!

That was Riki Lindhome, one half of Garfunkel and Oates, and currently doing a recurring role as Fozzie Bear’s girlfriend on The Muppets. Goes for unusual guys, I guess. :slight_smile:

I thought this was a pretty good episode, although I might have liked to see Amy’s dating life be a bit more successful. The exact way in which her date broke down was entertaining, however. I’m not familiar with Stephen Merchant, though he is apparently someone famous, but he was pretty funny.

I find it rather charming that this show takes place in a universe where it is apparently completely normal for a woman to go all alone to a strange apartment at night, based on nothing more than a weird scavenger hunt posted on Craigslist.

The Klingon might have been a warning but the Sanskrit was a full save.

Sheldon and Leonard must live in a very prestigious part of Pasadena. :cool:

No where near as tiresome and unfunny as people who come in this thread week after week saying just how awful TBBT has become and yet, week after week, come in to this thread to complain about how terrible the show has become.

I did not, but I did recognize her from the short-lived Manhattan Love Story (hey, somebody had to watch it, right?). Man, that sequence just reaffirmed my ever-lasting hatred of Sheldon Cooper, and strengthened my belief that he’s the worst character I’ve ever seen on television.

Did one person do this for this episode?

It’s been happening a whole lot less since people started tiresomely getting the jump on them.

Only when it’s about Simpsons episodes.

That irritated me so much. The episode was otherwise pretty great, but Sheldon being Sheldon over some weird deadline (which was clearly just thrown in so he could slam the door in her face for being late) was just terrible. Especially because pairing Sheldon with a real human being for a few episodes would have been great.

Well, if you go by the view from the window, they live on the seventh floor of a parking garage. :wink:

Justin - Good point. Especially that human being. It would have been fun to watch everybody’s reaction to a stunningly beautiful genius dating Sheldon, with him being oblivious to her charms.

Absolutely.

A number of the hot chicks on Big Bang have been slender redheads, e.g., Nowitzki, Plimpton, and Alex (my favorite)* :o.

I was watching NCIS the other week when I noticed that McGee’s girlfriend Delilah is played by Margo Harshman, aka Alex.

As an aside, I was reading today about Pauley Perrette. I had no idea she was 46! I mean, I knew she wasn’t as young as they make her out to be on NCIS, but pushing 50? She’s kept herself up nicely!

I would swear I saw her in an episode of The Sopranos, where she was a medical professional who made housecalls to Junior when he was diagnosed with stomach cancer, but she was onscreen very briefly and apparently not credited, if it was indeed her. If it was, she had her natural hair color (blonde).

*Okay, she’s more of a chestnut than a redhead, but who cares?

Dr. Barnett (Sara Rue) was a redhead (although not slender) and “The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem”[sup]*[/sup] ends with another woman approaching Sheldon just as Ramona Nowitzki did, and I think she was also a redhead.

  • The first episode of the show I ever watched. I wondered if the mid-show montage set to a Barenaked Ladies song was a recurring motif of the show. It wasn’t.

Yes, she was pleasingly plump (and hot). Nice to have some variety once in a while! :o
