USAToday Network Sitcoms November 6 2009

Memorable Lines:
The most popular series have always been those that allow us to invest in the characters, to pretend, for a half-hour, that their problems and victories matter....
Our longing to connect also explains the revival of another twist on the family sitcom, the Dick Van Dyke/Mary Tyler Moore notion of friends and co-workers as extended family. The idea thrives on CBS' hilariously endearing Big Bang, which sent Sheldon home to his mom just so he could realize his real home was with his friends.

Memorable Lines:
[JG]: “Knowing that that kind of romantic dynamic has been done before and done really really well, the scenes between Penny and Leonard were always looked at very carefully and rehearsed the most cautiously and stringently,” revealed the actor. “But the good thing is that Leonard and Penny aren’t together because viewership is dwindling, it’s being done for creative reasons and I trust the writers to handle the relationship with care.”
Relationships may come and go, but friendship lasts forever. Which is why, fans of television’s most dynamic duo can sleep easy, Galecki doesn’t believe anything can break them up. “At least not for more than a couple of days,” joked Galecki. “I think as much as Leonard and Sheldon drive each other crazy they really do like each other and have kind of become two different sides of the same brain. I think they’d be afraid to function without one another.”

Memorable Lines:
*TVGuide.com: Do you know how long his arc with Bernadette is? Is she the one?
Helberg: It's certainly open-ended at this point. He hasn't blown it enough yet to scare her away. But he blows it every time. He's always doing something stupid. It's not even stupidity; he's just lost. [Laughs] He really tries, but he's missing some of those social contracts that many people have and he's full-force all the time. There's no subtlety to him. I think he's innocent and a romantic at heart.
*TVGuide.com: If this becomes serious [with Bernadette], he needs to stop chasing girls. Can he do that?
Helberg: I can see him not gathering those boundaries and not picking up on that — that flirting is not OK. We haven't dealt with that yet, but it is in his nature to chase girls. It would be kind of fascinating to see if that goes away because he's so taken with her or if he's still got the compulsion to do it anyway. He's got a lot to learn, which is interesting because we haven't seen him learn much the whole run of the show. They're brilliant and set in their ways. It'll be nice to see him grow or [see] if he's incapable of it.
*TVGuide.com: Has he ever had a second, third or fourth date before with the same woman?
Helberg: I think he has had a second date. This is probably the most reciprocal relationship he's been in. I think he's had women use him, I think he's used women. I think he pays for women. [Laughs] But he's doing all right for himself now.
