Summer Glau in 'Big Bang Theory'.
She is going to play herself as the nerds' "favorite sci-fi actress in all the land".

Apparently she is supposed to be everyone's favorite. I changed the description.

To be honest, though, I'm not sure if that's her or the writing. I think it may be both. I've never really understood why Leonard would continue to romantically like her, beyond a physical attraction. Whereas the other geeks all seem to have distinct personalities, she seems to have none. But her delivery probably doesn't help that.

And I'm muchos excited for Summer. Especially as the references will most likely extend further back than just TSSC.

It had previously occurred to me to delight in the thought of a Professor Epps crossover with David Krumholz - something I still think is a compelling idea for multiple reasons. But Summer is a perfect choice. And how special it is that she gets to cameo as herself! I hope it nudges her career arc into the perfect trajectory, though that potential alreads seems to be more probable than not. So squeek. Squeal. Er, squee! (That's it. Sorry.)

I just got into "The Big Bang Theory" a few weeks ago. Since then I have watched the entire series and think that it is above average as far as sitcoms go. There are 2 or 3 really excellent episodes. Last Mondays had me laughing out loud. Of course I didn't get my "How I Met Your Mother" fix thanks to Obama, so maybe it was just my lack of comedy that night that made that episode seem so good.

It got markedly better after the writers' strike. I'm guessing they took the weakest link (Penny) and really worked on her to make her a worthwhile addition to the cast. It's now one of the few shows I bother to watch at its actual broadcast time.

I was a lukewarm TBBT viewer at first, but two episodes sold me: The one where Leonard accidentally buys THE Time Machine on ebay, and the battle of the geeks where the final question involved an equation - but instead of the usual math stuff that viewers are conditioned to see as "science" the equation involved a Feynman diagram and was actually something you could believe would stump them. (It's refreshing to see honest nerd humor in a sitcom.)
Took me longer to warm up to Penny, but lately she's had some really good scenes and is much more three dimensional (her Christmas gift to Sheldon was brilliant).

I'm shocked at all the love!I often catch it before HIMYM and just... not remotely funny!
I am shocked that reality shows like American Idol and Survivor are still on the air, but people do like different things for different reasons.
I would also add that I cannot really judge Survivor or American Idol because I have only caught a few episodes much like you have only caught a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory. Some episodes are lame and others are pretty good just like all TV with multiple writers and directors.

It's interesting on how much people differ in taste as far as comedy goes. I don't find HIMYM funny. Seinfeld is boring. Perhaps it really is to what you personally relate. I loved the music and literature references in Frasier, and I love the geek references on TBBT.
redeem147 | February 12, 04:45 CET
So it's more than whether you relate I think though what exactly it is requires a wiser head than mine (there's no doubt humour's very subjective though).
Saje | February 12, 05:00 CET
I particularly liked this scene:
Penny: Has [Leonard] ever been involved with someone who wasn't a brainiac?
Sheldon: Oh, well, a few years ago, he did go out with someone who had a Ph.D. in French Literature.
Penny: How is that not a brainiac?
Sheldon: Well, for one thing, she was French. For another, it was literature.
This is exactly how my husband (pharmaceutical chemisty PhD) and all his friends are about arts and humanities graduates. He only grudgingly accepts my archaeology PhD when I admit it's all about making stuff up.

Yeap. And now Sheldon only need some eggs... Who's gonna talk with Summer?

UnpluggedCrazy, I get your point about Two-and-a-Half Men, but I've enjoyed some of Chuck Lorre's previous shows - and I love the screens at the end, which he now has on his website for anyone who's interested.
samatwitch | February 12, 15:01 CET
Sheldon is my favourite character. I like cause it never seems to be that they're mocking geeks like on other shows.
I suppose I can relate.
and I can't wait to see Summer on!
BTW, would it be too much to ask for an xkcd reference?
