Anybody watch last night season 3 opener.

Great episode but the funniest line had to be Raj's Toy Story jibe at Howard.

Love this show. Glad it's back.

I think TBBT is one of the few genuinely laugh out loud sitcoms America has produced in recent years, ever seince Seinfeld, Friend, Frasier have ended there's been a void of really good sitcoms, some are ok like King of Queens and Two and a Half Men, but with TBBT and How I met your Mother theres 2 really good comedy shows right there, one of my friends may as well be Sheldon, same inablility to understand sarcasm, has a phd, movie and video game geek, he hasnt gotten round to watching this yet though so its like a private joke among the rest of us

I love this show - Sheldon absolutely cracks me up and Howard is great too, he's just so sleazy with the women it makes me cringe.

Very glad this is back. Great, easy watching, comfort tele.

By the way, is it just me, or is Kaley Cuoco actually getting hotter?

Seriously, this is the best thing on TV at the moment. Not one bad episode so far this new series cause unlike most other shows going into it's third season they haven't changed the surroundings or brought in lots of new central characters, they've just focused on the main character developments and holy shit has it worked out funny!! Also helps that Penny is the hottest thing on the box!!

Last weeks episode was in my opinion the best one they've done, the thing I've found with BBT is when you watch it again either on DVD or when it's repeated it actually gets better! I watched season 2 over the last couple of day's and I found it funnier watching it the second time around! Especially when Sheldon and Penny are singing soft kitty to one another!!

I hadn't watched an episode of The Big Bang Theory until about 2 weeks ago whilst round at a friend's house, and since then I've caught up to the current episode.

It's brilliant, it really does keep taking me by surprise and has simply got funnier and funnier throughout the seasons. There'll be times you think you'll be able to predict things, like Sheldon's reaction to a question or comment, and then be totally surprised when it comes up with something you weren't expecting. The episodes in S3 have certainly made me laugh out loud loads. The ball pit scene in a recent episode was brilliant!

I'm so glad I started watching this, although I'm now gutted that I'm up to date and have to wait for single episodes week by week.

Anyone know when they're continuing with the new series, I hate it when they do this repeating nonsense.

I'm confused by those last three posts? Season 3 is still on going. Although admittedly there are large gaps between some episodes.

Episode 16 aired on the 1st of this month (Monday) and Episode 17 is airing on the 8th.

E4 have started showing S3 from the beginning again, saying new eps will be shown later in the year

I think those are repeats on Monday night of old episodes.

I remember E4 did this last year with series 2 stop half way into the series, must be to allow the USA get a cartain way in front so then we can have the final lot of episodes without any breaks.

Ah, I see. I forgot that this thread wasn't specifically at UK or US speed, in the same way that Lost has 2 seperate threads.

Well, I'm at US speed. It certainly wasn't a repeat I just watched today.

I had heard a lot of good things about this show, some people said that it was better than How I Met Your Mother and now after watching the pilot episode I have to say that I was disappointed all the characters except for Penny and Leonard are annoying. HIMYM is amazing compared to this even the pilot of that show showed more promise than this, but I am going to stick with this just to see if it gets better as it goes along although I doubt I'll end up becoming a massive fan.
