The complete box set was my Christmas present from Tory Boy (excellent child!).
The show is about a socially inept group of nerds, some of whom live together.
They love Star Trek, Doctor Who, Harry Potter and gaming.
They spend most of their time on computers and/or eating.
They are awkward and demanding know-it-alls.
They have peculiar rules and rituals which baffle outsiders.
I think it’s based on my family.

I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

My two don’t like this one, because of the canned laughter, but adore the IT Crowd. Have you seen that?

Canned laughter?! Wash your mouth out with soap!
It’s taped in front of an audience. Check this gag reel, especially at 5:57 and 7:24, when the audience provoke the actors:

No, I haven’t. I’ve heard of it, though. The fella with the huge hair was in a Ben Stiller film I turned off the other night, and Chris Moone (?) is doing well for himself, isn’t he?

Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows, ever. It is wonderful… never a bad episode. And it’s still on, and the shows are still great. Has not lost it’s cleverness, at all. 🙂

This is one of my favorite TV series. It reminds me of one of my oldest friends Alen from primary school, whom I am still friends with. We always thought he would become a physicist. Instead he got involved in radio and voice overs and political commentary. He is possibly the smartest person I know. It was he who suggested the Chinese Christmas Eve and I am forever in his debt. He also loves the Big Bang. He can relate.

That seems a waste of talent. Does he regret it?

Tilly… Tilly… Tilly… it’s Laurie. I love Penny and Sheldon together. I know that they aren’t “together” but they have a dynamic that you don’t get to see very often on t.v.
