The pregnancy storyline is probably the most important to me. Not because I give a damn about the Howardette spawn, but I am morbidly interested in just how far off the rails this show goes.
We know that TPTB and the writers don't have any grasp on continuity, but they have really outdone themselves with having Bernadette announce she was pregnant in that "very special Valentines Day episode". That isn't a "throw away" comment that goes against something said in season 3, or a character change from season 7 that only the hard core fans will remember and be mad at. Even the general public will remember that The pregnancy announcement happened on the Valentines Day episode (Lord knows they publicized the hell out of it) and by putting it on a holiday, the writers have boxed themselves into the Bernadette pregnancy timeline.
As of right now this looks like it's BBT's last year, so thinking about writing one last Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas episode should be high on the writers list. Unfortunately they will have to skip these holidays if they keep Bernadette in month 4-5 of her pregnancy (or turn BBT into the mourning-crazed fantasies of the Roseanne shows final year)
With no taping tomorrow night (9/27) and only 3 episodes being taped in October there is only 5-6 episodes being filmed before the first holiday break, so if the writers are planning that very special Thanksgiving Delivery episode we should see a time jump with Bernadette get really pregnant in the 10/4 or 10/18 taping.
