At the Golden Globes just last night! The video is on the thread. He said he got the most joy from Shenny scenes and they were The Odd Couple of the show. Go... watch it.... it is in the Weekly Email Blast thread. It's rather special. Oh he said "real joy" not most. "No scenes more fun to do"

OMG See now I'm losing my head getting excited again.

I bet the other site is seething. Of course he loves them together, they have best chemistry.
Also, when they are alone together in scenes the writers get them correct. They write them as fully realized characters unlike when they have Sheldon and Penny in scenes with others on the show. Sheldon is an adult when alone with Penny. He confides things in a serious mature matter like telling her she hurt his feelings, telling her she should go for her dreams etc. His humor/sarcastic barbs is even more adult and funny with Penny. He's a complete man. With Amy, in order to shoe-horn Sheldon into this relationship they twist and turn him into God knows what around Amy. Immature, not intelligent, unaware of his own friend's feelings and wishes, not aware of sexual innuendo as a child would be.
So weird.

Anyway I'm happy to know Jim thinks like us. TOOT TOOT.

It's just a shame the show has Jim always posing with Mayim and sitting next to her at events to push the canon. With all due respect they don't even have much chemistry as real people off the set. Mayim is fine and all but sorry, she has no sex appeal and dresses like a frump.
I know Jim is gay, but in general gay men love them some gorgeous women and style.

I have to see this video. This is my first post on the Shennyhq forum. Feels good.

Welcome SES!!

I think SpacedUp did a wonderful job here, and now we got a hit thread!!

But for Jim to admit he gets "most joy" from Shenny scenes (what about the spanking?) has left me a little giddy with happiness.

He talked about how he enjoys the Shenny scenes the most in an interview he did before season 7 started too. It was his interview with Gold Derby editors about his Emmy nomination. Here is the link to the interview:

It's a long interview. Due to my very slow Internet connection at the moment, I'm afraid I can't say at what minute of the video the comment about Sheldon and Penny happens. IIRC, Jim also talks about the spanking scene, and it's interesting that he says he was very angry when he was asked to do that scene. Apparently, according to the script, the actual spanking was supposed to happen off screen. The script had Sheldon saying that he was going to spank Amy and then the camera was supposed to pan out or something. But they suddenly decided that it would be funny if they had Sheldon actually spank Amy. Jim talks about how he is not very good at multitasking (I guess meaning that he likes things to remain the way they have been written in the script and have been rehearsed beforehand) and that's why he was angry when he was asked to do the spanking scene. Of course he made the "I've never been angrier..." comment quickly and in a good-natured manner while laughing it off, and went on to say how that scene and its takes made them laugh behind the scenes, but I think that brief comment does show that he was not very OK with doing the scene.

He then praised Mayim as an actress and her ability at being spontaneous and at multitasking, because apparently, unlike Jim, Mayim was OK with the sudden changes to the script and with being asked to do the spanking scene on the spot. While he praised her as an actress, he didn't say anything at all about enjoying his/his character's scenes with Mayim/her character.

Thanks.
Good Lord, I get tired of him being asked about that horribly creepy unsexy spanking scene. It was hardest thing to watch. The interviewers always present it as some big sexy hot moment. ..ENOUGH.

I agree. That was the most disturbing and unnecessary moments of the show on top of him wearing that humiliating French maid outfit. There's just no sex appeal coming out of the Shamy, Jim and Mayim just don't have that kind of red hot chemistry that him and Kaley have. I'm very happy to hear that he does in fact enjoy his scenes with Kaley very much and that he gets even more excited on doing something with her after a long time of not doing much together. They are best friends after all and also have awesome off screen chemistry so that makes things more fun and comfortable for them. I really doubt Jim thought the spanking scene was all that great, remember he IS an actor so for all we know he may have just been hiding his discomfort/disgust for that scene especially since he seemed to have been avoiding the main question on whether or not he enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure he once mentioned liking his moments with Mayim but I'm not sure he ever described it the way he did with Kaley.
