    I love that show! How can Penny afford to live alone, while Sheldon and Leonard are forced to be roomates and share the rent? Since when did a waitress at the cheesecake factory make more than a physicist? I must be going into the wrong field

    yeah that does seem a little weird. Sheldon and Leonards apartment seems way bigger than Penny's though. so maybe that has something to do with it?

    I always just figured that they moved in together early on when they were still in grad school and needed a roommate and then it stuck because they didn't want to move, Sheldon sort of needs friends to drive him to work and other places, and that they were just saving money.

    I think in the episode where Leonard tells Penny how the lift was broken, he moved in when he first got his job at the university. I've often wondered how Penny affords that huge apartment! Maybe her dad pays the rent for her?

    Hmmm..true. However, the cost of living in CA is pretty outrageous for even the smallest amount of sq. ft, so I just don't understand how she can still afford to swing the rent alone

    I havent seen much of the recent episodes but it seemed like in the past Leonard helped Penny with rent and other stuff every once and while. that could be another factor. And she mooches food off of them a lot too so she doesn't have to pay as much with food bills haha.

    I know guys with plenty of money that have roommates just because it gives them someone to play video games with, I think.

    ETA: single guys.
    ^This.

    My husband will gladly confirm that theory.

    I know in a past episode Sheldon lent Penny money for her bills and Leonard helped her cut different costs. Also Curt paid her back the money that he owed her. And really, they eat a LOT of take out and you know thats costly!

    Anyone feels they are dragging the whole Leonard Penny off-on romance? i dont care anymore if they get married or not.I am much more curious about Sheldon.

    Yeah, there's only so many times that you can break up a couple and put them back together. I love how Sheldon has grown over time, but still has some of that innonce so to speak. Note that since Sheldon has been in a relationship with Amy that Leonard's mom hasn't came around....I wonder what would happen if she did

    Honestly I can't wait to see more about married life with Howard and Bernie.

    if you remember though, Amy showed Sheldon her "bikini wax" in the backseat of a car and he made comments about the cuts instead of having qouitas....however you spell it lol

    I like how how many people think they're a nerd or a geek purely because they watch that show

    Ahhh, Big Bang Theory is a great show! I love Sheldon, and, being a physicist myself, I recognize a lot of his quirks in many people I know! "There, there" with a pat on the shoulder has become a sort of an inside joke at work whenever someone's frustrated.

    I'm also impressed they're doing such a good job with the science itself in the show, the whiteboards in the background have often stuff I see in scientific talks and it's so weird and unexpected and strangely satisfying - I remember once Sheldon intimidating some poor students and the whiteboard behind him had stuff we were discussing at work just a few days ago, and it made me jump out of my seat and stick my face to the tv trying to get a good look at the board :laugh:

    Love BBT!! those are my favorite episodes too! I also love when Sheldon hugs Penny after giving her 2 dozen gifts baskets lol

    That part killed me. It was so sweet and out of character for him. I love that episode.

    I love BBT!

    Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!

    Soft kitty.

    I kind of have a thing for Leonard. He's on my hypothetical list of celebs I would be 'allowed to cheat with' by OH. :laugh: :love:
