“The Big Bang Theory” Sweeps into May
The sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” is a scientifically proven success and demonstrates on a weekly basis an exponential rise in its comedic value congruent with past levels of great sitcom hilarity and has shown an elasticity in how it continues to expand its comedic reach and potential while progressing from episode to episode, thereby harmonizing itself with the universe in a dimension thankfully inhabited by us with the capacity to observe the aforementioned situation comedy in the comforts of our own homes on the CBS network at the convenient time slot of 8:00 p.m. during television’s prime time scheduling block.
Or, in other words, a brand new episode of, “The Big Bang Theory” premieres tonight and features special guest star Bob Newhart! This show has brought in terrific guest stars in the past, including Dr. George Smoot (we’re both alums of Upper Arlington High School!) and Stephen Hawking. Mr. Newhart will be no exception during this season’s final “sweeps” period.
There are scenes from this show that truly surprise and show the hilarious, as well as heartfelt, twists and turns that have defined this sitcom as an American favorite. A particular Christmas gift exchange comes to mind…
Today, enjoy one of these stand-out moments when one self-described genius finally lifted himself over the hurdle (or halfway through a bottle) regarding his fear of public speaking.
Dr. Sheldon Cooper, how do you really feel about geologists?
“…that all started with a big bang-bang!”
Happy Monday!
On Monday mornings, we all feel a little bit of an exhausted letdown from the joys of the weekend. The primary conundrum for us all is trying to figure out how to inspire ourselves in a way that allows the carefree and anything-is-possible energy of Friday through Sunday to carry over into a positive force for the pending Monday through Friday grind.
Most of us start like this:
The goal is to get to this:
Make Today B-e-a-utiful!!
Have You Seen the LA Gear Nerf Guns!?
Like others, there are bands that I like that I’ve discovered well before they become widely known, “big” and/or mainstream and I take quite a bit of pride in this when it happens. It’s a special moment and is really cool when this occurs! Amusingly, the clip below illustrates the lengths some music fans will go to portray themselves as the most “in” of all those who are “in” when it comes to knowing the next “big band.”
It’s time for a “Lie Witness News” report!
As a nice, relaxing treat to ease you into the weekend, enjoy this funny bit from Jimmy Kimmel Live that contains interviews from fans from this year’s Coachella in the desert of Santa Barbara, California. It’s a gigantic musical festival that typically features a few massively popular bands and a long list of smaller indie groups, some on the cusp of making it to our radios, hearts and wallets.
That is, if they even exist…
Happy Monday!
Being Monday morning, we must “Carpe Diem!”
We all have things that we one day aspire to, like learning to play a musical instrument, immersing ourselves into a new culture or figuring out a new way to make our friends laugh.
Ladies and gentlemen, we should all take notes from the one and only Dr. Ross Geller. Somehow, he pulled off this hat-trick of hilarity!
It’s time to “celebrate good times, come on!”
