...that it is such a hit?

DH has liked it for a while, I got into it too a while ago, now all the DC are totally mad for it!

DD can even sing the theme tune "math science history, unravlling the mystery" which is hilarious.

Anyone else totally gone on Sheldon, Wolowitz and co?

I thought you were going to say 'is it just in my house that you have to all say BANG at the end of the theme tune?' Grin

Clary · 11/09/2010 19:29

Oh yes we do that too.

DD has a very loud voice Grin

"we built the pyramids" is the bit we sing in a very loud voice
I love it
Sheldon is my hero

Although obviously Homo habilis developed tools, not Neanderthals. I suppose Neanderthals may have developed some more tools.

DP has gone off it - claims the laughter is too loud.

HRHCavey · 11/09/2010 19:32

Love it. One of the best shows on tv at the moment.

booyhoo · 11/09/2010 19:33

oh i love love love it. my sis has teh box sets and i could watch them over and over again.

fantus · 11/09/2010 19:33

Loving it here too.

It is one of the very few comedy shows that is gauranteed to make me laugh out loud every time

StealthPolarBear · 11/09/2010 19:34

We love it! Will Leonard and Penny ever get back together?

It's one of my favourites. DH thinks it's ok, but doesn't really like any sitcoms.
I think the last series was the worst though. Sheldon is starting to become a little ridiculous, not because he's insanely smart, or that he just doesn't get people; they are making the character play up to the silliness IYKWIZM and that ruins it a bit for me. Hopefully the next series will be awesome though :)

Addicts in this house too!

HRHCavey · 11/09/2010 19:54

I love that we never get to see Mrs Wolowitz, just get to hear her shouting at Howard!

DH swears his old boss is Sheldon - in both looks AND lack of people skills personality!

hugglymugly · 11/09/2010 19:54

One of the few sitcoms I've really got into and can watch over and over again. And the only one where the laughter track doesn't bug me.

I understand MrsChemist's view about Sheldon, but I like to see it as Sheldon getting some clues because of his interactions with others in that small group. I don't think the writers can take the character of Sheldon too far away from how that character was originally imagined because that would significantly alter the show.

One other sitcom/drama I liked was The Lone Gunmen - I think I'm a wannabe geek.

LifeOfKate · 11/09/2010 20:00

We love it here too :o

I was devastated when the last series finished... I want to know what happens with Sheldon and the girl from Blossom!!!

Any idea when the next series starts?

PussinJimmyChoos · 11/09/2010 20:01

Another fan here - its very cleverly written!

Bit annoyed though at all the repeats on E4 on Thurs - keep wanting fresh episodes!

MrsChemist · 11/09/2010 20:05

Season four premieres in America on the 23th of September, so it should follow on e4 maybe a few months after (unless you can "aquire" a copy from America before then, of course)

pissovski · 11/09/2010 20:09

I adore it! Sheldon is great, but I am a Leonard girl really!!

AnnieLobeseder · 11/09/2010 20:11

We're huge fans in the Lobeseder house too. But then we're geeks.

SecretNutellaFix · 11/09/2010 20:11

We've loved it for ages. and some of our friends do as well.

ttalloo · 11/09/2010 20:17

Absolutely love it - I think it's one of the cleverest and funniest shows around.

invisibleink · 11/09/2010 20:23

Love love love it!!

SacharissaCripslock · 11/09/2010 20:25

Blossom! That's where I knew her from!

DilysPrice · 11/09/2010 20:26

The good thing is that we came to it a bit late, so all the repeats of Season 1 on E4 are new to us, and if you count the E4+1 I'm rarely more than 20 minutes away from something funny to watch while cooking dinner etc.

LittleCheesyPineappleOne · 11/09/2010 20:30

TrillianAstra - that bugs me too. Homo habilis clearly got there first, and we're not (probably) directly descended from the Neanderthals, it smacks of (shudder) artistic licence to me.... Grin

We adore it here. It is such a grower. The characters are just so damn lovely and affectionately portrayed. Who doesn't want to mother Sheldon and sing him "Soft Kitty" now and again? Smile

MrsChemist · 11/09/2010 20:37

has anyone seen the interviwe with Chuck and Bill? Penny was originally a bit of a mean drunk, but they said the girl (Haley something) who plays her was just too nice to play a bad girl, so they made the character nicer.
