Big Bang Theory

[KyleEl]

Okay, well, comedies have always been my favorite. As a teenager I didn't watch many action shows.

[KyleEl]

Kripke made a return when he praised Howard's Stephen Hawking toy (proving it was in bad taste). Otherwise, he's the Dad on "Speechless".

[KyleEl]

I missed at least one episode. I should have done a better job checking every series. But there will be reruns. Even on the "previously", Bernadette was about to give birth. When did she get so big?

Sheldon and Amy were so funny celebrating her birthday, which is now also Halley's.

[AntiArbitrator]

I watched two episodes, one of which was the birthday/baby delivery episode. The other episode was about deciding which items to keep or give away after they changed roommates. Both were funny, but I do not know whether to laugh or scream when Sheldon makes coitus so complicated.

I liked it when they made Raj the Godfather. That was nice.

Still, his idea of God is totally different from the others'.

[KyleEl]

That was one of the funniest episodes they ever did.

Howard was nominated for a Golden Globe for "Florence Foster Jenkins".

[KyleEl]

I should have known the beginning was too ideal. Leonard in his underwear made more sense.

Amy fully dressed for a massage under the robe did seem like her.

How hard would it be for Howard to get the floor fixed? But then he wouldn't have been quite as funny.

Now what show was I watching when someone used "granny" as a verb to refer to traditional décor?

[KyleEl]

I got lucky and recorded an old episode. I'm not sure whether it just happened or I had to tell the TiVo to do it. But it's the one where Sheldon and Amy moved in together. So funny.

Penny actually said Amy didn't lose anything important when she lost all her clothes. I like Amy's clothes, including her nightgown.

[KyleEl]

Poor Sheldon is learning to read people's emotions, but the machine that was developed to do that for him seemed to cause more trouble than it was worth.

Amy is so patient with him.

Penny comes up with the funniest things to say because she has this different attitude toward life.

Raj should never have gotten those girls together.

My pastor got new glasses so the resemblance to Bernadette is no longer obvious. She does still talk like her. If you are my Facebook friend, you might be able to see her in the photo with the dog on the main page. I don't know what others see but her position on my friends list never seems to change.

That was a very funny episode. It was rather funny that Sheldon caused arguments by indiscriminately mentioning the emotions others were feeling.

Raj does sound like a terrible boyfriend, but I do like him.

[KyleEl]

Raj is now independent. Like Sherlock Holmes, he can afford his nice place because of his father. What happened to his mother?

Considering all the help he gives Howard and Bernadette, he should be living with them.

And Penny was brilliant again last night.

Sheldon still doesn't get it. And I was amazed at the number of people he told his secret to. If he had said Kripke, that would have been enough, but he just kept going. Speaking of Kripke, on his new show his wife is a master con artist. He talks normally but he's kind of subservient. The family spent a week hanging out at a country club and bossing around the help. They very nearly got caught.

[AntiArbitrator]

I watched that episode and it is funny. 

[KyleEl]

I taped last night's with an antenna and I am hoping for the best. I get an extra episode next week.

Only by doing this, and taping "Life in Pieces" the same way, was I able to read the newspaper last night, and even then, I didn't get to spend as much time as I needed to. And I didn't spend as much time as I should have Tuesday either.

[KyleEl]

It's possible the episode I saw Thursday night was on my oldest TiVo. I couldn't get my remote to work so I'll try again tonight. The newest remote works on the no. 2 TiVo but not the oldest one. The oldest remote works on all three. I just didn't want to deal with two different ones at that time.

Anyway, Sheldon was complaining about Amy not having a bathroom schedule. He and Penny were in the car together, and Howard and Bernadette were dealing with trespassers in their hot tub.

[KyleEl]

I'm worried what will happen when I see what I recorded last night. See the Sports Thread.

[KyleEl]

I lost the end but because I recorded "The Great Indoors", everything worked out. I lost the end of that show, though.

It was nice of Howard and Bernadette to take in Raj, but they also have Stuart.

I don't blame Sheldon for not wanting people in his old room.

[AntiArbitrator]

I just watched “The Escape Hatch Identification” and it was very funny. The friends did not really want Raj to move in with them, but they invited him to stay with them anyway. When Sheldon called Leonard’s mom to get help understanding why he did not want anyone moving into his old room, her responses and gestures were hilarious. Everyone was very funny.

[AntiArbitrator]

At the end of the episode, the usual funny/weird message said let's sing but the "lyrics" were in an unreadable font. They are so silly.

I have to wait for "The Great Indoors" or whatever follows but I do freeze it and read it.

I have a large collection of those episodes. I never have mentioned this since there's no "Powerless" thread but "Community" fans have a choice to make unless they can tape.

[AntiArbitrator]

"The Collaboration Fluctuation" was very funny.

When Raj and Penny were having so much fun doing things together, Howard’s reactions were hilarious. His deadpan expressions are really funny.

Sheldon and Amy working together on a project was also funny.

[KyleEl]

I lost this episode. I've been watching very carefully but there's nothing I can do when an exclamation point appears before I can do anything about it. I've just been very lucky. I've been sacrificing "Modern Family" episodes. I might have had this one but didn't rescue it in time from the other TiVo. If "The Great Indoors" was new I lost that too.

[KyleEl]

I keep reading there will be a spinoff where Sheldon is nine years old. Jim Parsons will narrate, as Adam does on "The Goldbergs" and Kevin did on "The Wonder Years".

[AntiArbitrator]

I hope they can find a child who is as hilarious as Parsons.

[KyleEl]

I saw the last episode. Amazingly, Jessica on "Fresh Off the Boat" was too busy to be sick and got the flu in an episode I watched the same day as this one. She got better faster than her family realized.

Sheldon was amazing with his ability to work on several projects at once, for as long as he could.

Poor Bernadette. She has to go back to work.

[AntiArbitrator]

It was a funny episode. I laughed at their friend when he said there is a picture of him on file at the day care center after he was caught peeking in the window.

Howard lying about Aunt Trixie's death was funny.

Sheldon in the cowboy bar was outrageous.

[KyleEl]

Yeah, I agree about all that.

[AntiArbitrator]

"The Separation Agitation" is not one of my favorite episodes. Now that Bernadette has returned to work, I hope there will be less focus on the baby.

Their friend using wealth as a way to get an attractive girlfriend was amusing, but the girl was brain dead.

[KyleEl]

I thought the girl was funny.

I said the following on TiVo's web site, so I use the specific model names of each machine.


I ran out of "Modern Family" episodes so there was nothing else to sacrifice.  To keep from losing anything, I just extended the time every time I saw an exclamation point, knowing that mean the episode was at risk of being lost.
 
Shortly before 7:00, I deleted the 6:00 news which I should never have allowed to record, and cancelled future recordings of the 6:00 and 10:00 news.. I think I cancelled "Jeopardy" and "Access Hollywood" for that night (though I know I did this for Friday), both of which have backups that are manual recordings, but I'm not sure. Both are the same show because my Roamio thinks one of the channels that airs "Jeopardy" is actually the channel with "Access Hollywood". The second "Jeopardy" is recorded as a precaution in case there is a news or weather bulletin or a big story makes Lester Holt run long.  As for the manual recordings, I wasn't able to make the season pass work for either at first. I actually could have watched "Jeopardy" live anyway without recording. 
 
When I finished, shortly before "Access Hollywood" started recording, I started watching a "Modern Family" episode I had previously sacrificed, which now had an exclamation point. While watching it, I saw an ad for "The Goldbergs" and realized I had forgotten to check it. Two episodes had exclamation points and, when I extended one, I was told "Access Hollywood" would not record. I also saw where it had not recorded, though I had not cancelled it.
 
Here's where it starts to get weird. I have a hard time with "Modern Family", which is why I put it at a low priority, knowing the episode will air again at least once. I have to keep backing up to see what I missed. So "Big Bang Theory" and "Trial & Error" were already on when I finished. I could see the red circle indicating each was recording. When I deleted the "Modern Family" episode after I finished, "Big Bang Theory" was blue, not red. "Trial & Error" was gone. I checked "Big Bang Theory" and it had quit recording. I told Roamio to record "Trial & Error" and it started from that point. I watched essentially live, and now realize I could have done that without recording.
 
It gets worse. I discovered three minutes into "Powerless" that it wasn't recording. I told Roamio to record it. I can't recall whether I saw that "The Great Indoors" was recording, but it was gone when I checked. I don't even remember what I did next, but I discovered that "Powerless" had quit recording and furthermore, there was no evidence it ever had recorded.  So I watched the rest of it essentially live, and mysteriously, the rest of the episode showed up again somehow, at least from the point when I started recording.
 
These problems were going to keep happening, so I cancelled "Scandal" and watched it essentially live. I joined it late after I finished watching the ending of "Powerless", and I managed to see the rest of that episode later. I had checked and "Riverdale" was scheduled to record but never did. "Life in Pieces" did record.  I've forgotten when I actually went down to 99 percent. I watched two more 30-minute episodes and deleted them. I watched what I had of "Big Bang Theory". Fortunately, I record that with an antenna on a Series 3 too and luckily, the signal was satisfactory that night and I'll see the rest later. A series 2 recorded the episode 2 but I was so close to 100 percent that when it recorded "The Great Indoors". I rescued it and was essentially warned nothing else was going to record. Ever. But I have to watch and watch and watch my Roamio before I tackle the series 2.

[AntiArbitrator]

That sounds like a lot of work.

You can't watch six hours of TV in three hours. But getting off the computer sooner last week would have helped.
