Ugh!! They're killing Big Bang Theory by adding Mayim Bialik as a cast regular. I can hardly stand to watch the episodes she's in, let alone having her full-time!! Her character is one of the worst I've ever seen on TV - even worse than Sheldon (if that's even possible) She seems to like playing that type of character as I noticed she was pretty close to the same on Secret Life of an American Teenager.
"Seven years is a good run, and I'd rather leave while on top."
Yes, that would have been about 3 seasons ago, Ms. Kohan. Although I will say I'd be up for a Shane and Silas spin-off.
Come toward the light of Community...BBT is the Sheldon show for all intents and purposes
She is too ugly for TV, poor thing needs to retire.
1) Don't get me wrong, I love BBT, but they've "Miller / Boyette'ed" (producers of Family Matters & Perfect Strangers) the show. They have started to rely too much on a few stock "go to" gags just like Family Matters. Sheldons crazy laugh, "you're in my spot!", etc.
2) A new Incredible Hulk show? Ugh... thats gonna suck just from the lame CGI I'm sure they'll use. Thats the problem with shows today... to much unbelievable CGI. See Bill Bixbys Hulk... occasionally the effects were cheezy, but they were very well done. Same with Bionic Woman and 6 Million Dollar Man and Dukes of Hazzard. The CGI versions just got too fake looking.
You are all crazy, she is a great addition (at least in the short term) to Big Bang. I dread the on-going Leonard-Penny relationship drama myself.
What ever happened to Lelie Winkle(Sara Gilbert) they did an annoucemnt like this for her too and she appeared in handful of episodes and never appeared again.
I have to agree with both Linda & SteveO on this one,espically about bringing back The Hulk. Its time has pasted.
