ORIGINAL EPISODES, MONDAYS @ 8:30PM ON CBSThis was a decent episode from the team over at "The Big Bang Theory." I felt the first two episodes for were significantly better but this one definitely had it's moments. Leonard finally decides he should ask Penny out on a date, unfortunately Penny doesn't realize they're actually going on a date. Mainly, this is because Leonard told her everyone else would be coming too and then somehow forgot to tell them about the dinner. Nice move to get her alone but it would probably help that she knows she's on a date if he wants her to be his girlfriend.
The opening of this episode was only mediocre until the writers threw in the EBAY reference. For someone like me who doesn't know all that much about computer games I was pretty bored the first couple minutes. Then when Sheldon left everyone high and dry to sell the game secret on EBAY I laughed. When Wolowitz bought it on EBAY two seconds later I actually found myself laughing out loud. These are the little things that the writers on this show have done which has made "The Big Bang Theory" an early favorite of mine.
For all those "Roseanne" fans out there you probably loved the cameo from Sarah Gilbert as Leonards co-worker. I wish it lasted longer but their theories about dating and thus skipping to the kiss right then to determine the success of the date was hilarious. Their chemistry together as actors was immediately apparent; maybe she'll join the cast as a regular oneday, it could be pretty interesting to see them back on screen together. I also liked Sarah's use of the word "Spiddle" in describing the quality of Leonard's kiss (she told him his kiss didn't have any).
Leonard's routine when he gets rejected by a girl was hilariously explained by Sheldon. I love that he listen's to Emo while mopping around the apartment and forcing Sheldon to look at cats in pet stores with him. Meanwhile, Leonard's date/non-date with Penny (after he realized she never actually rejected him) was extremely awkward. He actually almost had her attention in a with his olive-glass trick but cracking your head open under the table is never a good thing on a date. At least Penny was sweet when they got back to the apartment and didn't make him feel bad for trying to get her out on a date.
"Score one for liquor and poor judgment." Favorite line of the night from Sheldon when Leonard said his date with Penny was awesome. I love Sheldon's sarcastic humor. See you all next week.
