Love this program! Funniest thing I’ve seen since my wedding.
Mayam Bialik is a hoot, and a great complement to Sheldon’s character.
Leonard and Penny? It works.
Raj and Howard? What’s to say...
Bernadette? Great character.
Missing from the running gag list? Stewart at the comic book store, and Cripke’s (sp?) interactions with Sheldon. Same for Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher).
Well cast ensemble, IMO. Very funny writing.
I love Bernadette. (She has a LOT in common with my wife.) The one weakness in her writing is that you never get a sense of why she loves Howard.
Amy is desperate, but she’s also so well-written that you can buy that Sheldon is exactly the guy she would fall in love with. Leonard is so desperate to please and that’s what Penny needs: someone who is good to her. But why does Bernadette love Howard? She dislikes so many of the things that make Howard Howard: that he’s a Mama’s boy, that he’s an uber-geek. She doesn’t even particularly like his space program stuff.
How funny was your wedding?
