Kaley looks amazing.
I rather like Galecki's conspicuously don't-give-a-fuck attitude and style. He must have a droll sense of humour to be able to get through these Hollywood farragos year after year without cracking...
I do too, it really works on him.

Kaley looks so classy with the new hair. Haven't found a decent picture of Melissa or Kunal. And it looks like Simon wasn't there.
All hail Queen Mayim on her Coronation Day..... Oops, better luck next year.
The show was not lucky for this year's Emmy nods. I think the general consensus is S8 wasn't as funny as it could have been. I think it's because all too safe to be funny now. The couples are all a bit dull and all they can do is add more and more drama. Sheldon and Penny work without drama because the polarities of their natures.

However I'm a little trilled that the show chose 'Intimacy' as one of the two episodes they put forward. Its nice to know they thought the only Shenny ep at the season was one of the best they'd produced. The other was graduation.

I believe they chose "The Comic Book Store Regeneration" (although that also had a couple of rare Sheldon/Penny scenes in it), and Graduation.

"I do think the general consensus is S8 wasn't as funny as it could have been."

Very polite PJ. From what I've seen, the general consensus was that that Season 8 was terrible. Sheldon has become too normal and the show has become a rom com, are the two most common complaints I've seen.

The individual lines are clever and amusing, and there were some excellent scenes I'm sure, but Sheldon's nature (and Jim's delivery and mannerisms) has been altered so wildly since Season 1- 4, that it's barely the same character. And Sheldon carries the show. If he's "faulty" then the whole mechanism collapses.

Aside from an unrecognisable buffoonish boyfriend Sheldon, Season 8 was dominated by (sh)Amy (I'm not surprised MB was nominated, considering it's pretty much her character's show now) and extended couples melodrama, with precious few science/geek based episodes in between.

If they weren't nominated this year, it wasn't because of the episodes they chose. Comic Book was one of the best.
It's because they broke faith with their original conception.

It's just like any other rom com now. I'd say take away Sheldon and it becomes "Friends", but they've already taken away Sheldon...

I don't understand how Lorre (who is witty, cynical, sharp, philosophical...as certainly are some of the writers) can allow the show to wallow and suffocate in these awful, mawkish romances.
What the hell happened sirs!

Lorre had a show called Two and a Half Men; I think BBT should be called Two and a Half Seasons...

Somebody, I think it was Nutz, pointed out that the show's official synopsis is now "Leonard and Penny are a couple and they have a group of nameless interchangeable friends." I'm exaggerating slightly, but not by much.
"Leonard and Penny are a BORING, barely-in-love couple and with a group of nameless interchangeable friends who eat dinner with them every night but one of them is really annoying and believes the show is actually about her."
That will teach me to read posts made elsewhere from people who think the show started in S4 Blush
