The only guy to not change much is Raj who along with Stewart has become the big jokes.

Nah Stewart when originally introduced got a date pretty quickly with penny, and used to be pretty sociable and arty and stuff. They quickly grinded him down to being sad, lonely, pathetic and depressed/suicidal and that's all he is now. Which I don't like.
 
The only missed opportunity is that they refused to pull the trigger on Stewart and Raj getting together.
 
Unlike Modern Family, where the show has really gone to shit for a while, I am glad Big Bang has been renewed for another 3 seasons. I still laugh a lot during most episodes and I just hope there will be a bit more none-couples related stuff in the next seasons. The main characters are getting way too old for their roles though :(

All from Wiki but

The Big Bang Theory has been highly rated since its premiere. When the third season premiered on September 21, 2009, The Big Bang Theory ranked as CBS's highest-rated show of that evening in the adults 18–49 demographic (4.6/10) along with a then-series-high 12.83 million viewers.[97] After the first three seasons aired at different times on Monday nights, CBS moved the show to Thursdays at 8:00 ET for the 2010–2011 schedule, to be in direct competition with NBC's Comedy Block.[98] During its fourth season, it became television's highest rated comedy, just barely beating out eight-year champ Two and a Half Men. However, in the age 18–49 demographic (the show's target age range), it was the second highest rated comedy, behind ABC's Modern Family. The fifth season opened with viewing figures of over 14 million.[99]

The sixth season boasts some of the highest-rated episodes for the show so far, with a then-new series high set with "The Bakersfield Expedition" (Season 6, Episode 13), with 20 million viewers,[100] a first for the series, which along with NCIS, made CBS the first network to have two scripted series reach that large an audience in the same week since 2007. In the sixth season, the show became the highest rated and viewed scripted show in the 18–49 demographic, trailing only NBC's Sunday Night Football coverage,[101][102] and was third in total viewers, trailing NCIS and Sunday Night Football.[103] Season seven of the show opened strong, continuing the success gained in season six, with the second episode of the premiere, "The Deception Verification", setting the new series high in viewers with 20.44 million.[104][105]

Showrunner Steve Molaro, who took over from Bill Prady with the sixth season, credits some of the show's success to the sitcom's exposure in off-network syndication, particularly on TBS, while Michael Schneider of TV Guide attributes it to the timeslot move two seasons earlier. Chuck Lorre and CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler also credit the success to the influence of Molaro, in particular the deepening exploration of the firmly established regular characters and their interpersonal relationships, such as the on-again, off-again relationship between Leonard and Penny.[106] Throughout much of the 2012–13 season, The Big Bang Theory placed first in all of syndication ratings, receiving formidable competition from only Judge Judy and Wheel of Fortune (first-run syndication programs). By the end of the 2012–13 television season, The Big Bang Theory had dethroned Judge Judy as the ratings leader in all of syndicated programming with 7.1, Judy descending to second place for that season with a 7.0.[107]

Yeah I used to like Stewart, kind of gawky but witty. I still kinda do so I hope it's just a 'phase'.
 
If I have a coughing fit and collapse on the floor I'd expect a better reaction than that
 
I loved last night's episode. Sheldon and Howard need to interact a lot more as they're both great when they're together on screen.

Just saw this today... I'm surprised they gave it such a huge renewal. I was half expecting them to announce next season was the last just based on how the series has been progressing. Character growth has stopped for most of the cast over the last few seasons.

Still excited to see what they come up with to keep the viewers around though.

I would say they have had good character growth this past season. Especially with Sheldon. And they gave it such a huge renewal because it pulls in so many viewers and grows every year. The thing is a beast.
 
She didn't even have to bribe him..........even if it's stipulated in the contract.

I still wager they will get a Xbox One sooner or later......they really were leaning that way.
 
I didn't watch the episode but I heard it going on downstairs while my wife watched it. It sounded absolutely hilarious. Like a shot-for-shot remake of any given GAF thread. Minus the girlfriends.

Bernadette's story killed me.

Agreed. The Amy-Sheldon dinner scene was hysterical and had me laughing as well.

"NO WAY"

Amy has by far the most consistently funny lines of the cast. She's my personal favourite. One of the best episodes this season.
 
the sheldon amy story was the worst part of the episode for me. Decent episode though. I'm glad they are actually making Raj an actual person instead of a caricature
 
Raj is sweet and funny so I'm hoping he ends up with the girl, Bernadette killed it with the story, Will Wheaton LOL, Penny and Leonard were good too. Sheldon was the weak link. The Sheldon story is very unbelievable. There is no way someone like him would wait so long to make that decision, he would have gotten both of them at launch or he would have felt strongly for one of them. I'd say he needs to lose his fictional GAF-alternate account.

I kind of agree, the premise was weak, but the execution was done fairly well. His interactions with Amy were pretty great--I rather liked their exchange over dinner where she overreacted to everything, and Sheldon talking through the kiss was very in-character. I also liked how they addressed the obvious solutions of buying both as Amy desperately tried to diffuse the situation. I agree that it was one of the weaker parts of the episode, but it wasn't done terribly.

And that's not to mention the fact that that particular plot point stirred up GAF something awful. Gotta love it when they come out to angrily overreact to this harmless show.
 
Loved the episode, but I have a question that's not related to it, but comedy series with live audience in general.

We know from bloppers that the audience is there when they're recording, but not every scene is from the studio, right? In that case, how does it work? Do they put the full episode for the audience or those specific scenes? I know sometimes there are recorded laughs, but sometimes you can tell they're not.
 
I thought the episode was great. Raj having normal conversations with a woman is great. And loved Amy feigning interest in Sheldon's dilemma.
 
Great episode this week. Many of us have had a conversation like Sheldon did with Amy about what game system (or other piece of tech) to buy. Awesome stuff!

On one of the Friends DVDs, they said they do as much as they can in front of the audience, but if a scene requires an actor being "nude" or is shot off set, they show the live audience those scenes on a monitor and record the live laughs, so they are specific to that scene.

Dunno if all shows do that though.
