The Big Bang Theory - "The Rhinitis Revelation" - 10/20/11

Tonight's episode was alright, but I think 'Rules of Engagement' beat it this time.

It was fun having someone new added to the mix...his mom is always fun to watch.

"That's awfully white of ya"

Agree. Love Laurie Metcalf. She is great at playing weird.

"We don't say that." (Leonard) "We don't say that either."

"I think I would have gone with that whole not being able to talk to girls thing."

"No, no! You only get one wish!"

If you ask the networks, yes. If you ask people with multiple tuners/DVRs, no.

On a side note...she also did the voice of Andy's mom in all 3 Toy Story movies.

Yesterday I watched some rerun eps also and that reminded me of the Wolowitz robot hand episode. Now THAT was some hilarious Wolowitz material!

I loved that, and it was almost missed in a camera change.

That made me lol. I don't think I've heard anyone use that phrase in at least 45 years.

Everything she said is common usage in these parts- including that.

That reminds me of a woman I used to work with. She had recently moved here from a certain state which will remain nameless (Starts with a 'T' and ends with 'exas'). One day her daughter came in and they were talking. Well, the names they called people of several persuasions (incl Mexican people, Black people and a few others) were just appalling. After the daughter left, and I was standing there aghast, as I had nowhere else to go in that little place, I said 'WTF was that??'. She gave me a blank look and said 'what?'. I said those horrible names you were calling people. She said, and I kid you not, 'that's what we call them there'. I said 'well, that's NOT what we call them here!'. Still with the blank look...whatever.

Disclaimer: I am NOT saying that everybody from a certain region says things like that.

I felt this ep was pretty lame after last weeks great episode. Nothing was really all that funny.

Ditto..I've heard that phrase on several occasions over the last several years.

I'm with Hank. I liked the fact that Sheldon's mother was there (I like her character), but the storyline was pretty weak. Her interactions with the other characters were okay, then Sheldon (predictably) caught a cold, then she soothed him, then it was over.

Even so, a not-so-good episode of BBT is better than most everything on TV.

And, I would guess, still in vogue in some parts of the great state of Mississippi as well. But, some of us would like to think we have . . . evolved over the years.

Maybe that is why neither of you have an actual location listed under your names.

I like Sheldon's mother. "Should have gone to Houston." Yep, someone may have diagnosed his Aspergers.
