Heyyy, what a terrible new haircut.

Some women can pull off the pixie look and then there's Penny.

Do these new episodes get replayed at all? My family's Directv went out and I can't find a listing for a replay of the new episodes anywhere.

I think they're available on CBS.com the next day.

The only surprise was finding out that Penny landed the job as a pharma rep, which is kinda hard to believe since she has no training, no background, no contacts and no experience relating to that field at all.

She got the job because the HR guy is afraid of Bernadette and he didn't want to piss her off.

The First Pitch Insufficiency

A nervous Wolowitz is thrown for a loop when NASA asks him to toss out the first pitch at a Los Angeles Angels baseball game. Meanwhile, Sheldon brags that he and Amy are a better couple than Leonard and Penny, so they set out to prove he's way off base.

Oh, I guess I thought that since she got a big salary and signing bonus. Guess I was wrong. But she's helping Penny learn about being a sales rep now, even though she's a pharma lab geek and not in sales. :confused:

Bernadette probably knows a lot about all the drugs her company manufacturers?

I think they're dragging it out because, like HIMYM with seeing the mother, a lot of people are watching to discover how it will play out when it finally does happen and might have less interest afterward.

When/if they finally do it, it has to be in some strange location or under some weird circumstance.

I think the idea is the guys blow tons of money on comics and collectibles. Howard's last "why would you spend this money" was on a 3-D printer, but given that between the 4 of them they pull down close to $400k and none of them have a mortgage, expensive car payments, children etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they do a plot line where it turns out Sheldon has nearly a million just sitting in a checking account and can't understand why he should go through the trouble of investing it.

In the episode where he loaned Penny money to pay her bills, he mentioned he has a small savings account and keeps the balance in a can guarded by coiled snakes and the rest in "the hollowed out buttocks of a superhero action figure" which Leonard later reveals to be Green Lantern.

Saw the bit with Howard's mother coming. I knew they were either going to replace her or write her out and the episode felt like they were building up to that.

At least they didn't drag it out.

And now the trainwreck that is The Odd Couple. This show will not make it past its initial order.

Yeah. If any one thing irks me about this show it's the acting. I know sitcom acting isn't a fine art or anything, but Jesus this is bad.

They could have at least tried a new combination. They've already done two middle-aged men, a cartoon cat and dog, two black men, and two women.

Personally? I think its way worse. I think she dropped her hotness level by at least 50%, not 25

The pixie look just isn't for her face shape.

Amy dumps Sheldon, turns out Shelden had bought an engagement ring

Also, Howard and Bernadette can't force themselves to make Stuart move out. Raj considers dumping Emily because she's too weird (like wanting to have sex in a cemetery).
