Well Peter, then there would be little humour around. Think of the shows that focus on short people, bald people, geeks, tall people, stupid people, redneck people, old people, young people, english people, non-english people….. well, you get the drift. If done in a tasteful way and doesnt cross the line into abuse (always tricky for a comedian) then anything is a fair target.

I enjoy the show, but I have this nagging concern about the character of Sheldon – I understand his behaviour is typical of someone with Asperger Syndrome. If so, is that a reasonable basis for humour? It’s not as though people with Asperger’s have any choice in the matter, so making fun of it would be as unreasonable as making fun of someone with any other characteristic they were born with. Like, say, skin colour…

@Nekkid Bunny
I wrote a one word guess at what put you into the mod queue and my post disappeared. It is the word for that card game you mentioned.

Edit: it has come back now and is in moderation.

The video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions.

Oh, I gotta wonder what I said in my comment about Wil’s blog that put it in the moderation queue.

Wil seems decent enough, but I lost interest in his blog a few years back when it became so focused on cigars and poker. I still enjoy seeing his writing around the internet, though.

I’m glad some other people recognized Wil’s tshirt.

At a quick glance, I thought it was the Reddit alien but then really started laughing once I realized it. Hopefully they’ll work in a plug for Penny Arcade.

Now that they’ve moved it to 9:30, I’ve missed every episode this season.

I can’t stand to watch any of 2.5 men, which comes on right before, so it’s difficult to remember to turn it on just in time.

Move it back to 8:00 and I’ll have a fighting chance.

For those outside the US – don’t feel bad.
Most folks living in the USA hardly ever get to see anything from BBC (whether British or Aussie), let alone other companies. It’s not just us

Why can you not embed a YouTube video version that is not blocked outside the US?

Yep, another Canadian prevented by CBS from stealing your signal. Luckily, some people on Youtube have skills:

Why? Oh, why Wil Wheaton? No surer sign that BBT is jumping the shark.

Nope. Wheaton is kind of a dick. He gives fanboyism a bad name and he almost ruined the newer Star Trek movies. Pass.

OMG! Wil is SO slyly subversive – how many people know the name of the little creature on his T-Shirt? LOL!!!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught that. Very good choice of t-shirts, Master Wil.

As a Canadian, I can’t watch this! Screw health care reform in the States… the President needs to take action on this issue, of not being able to watch YouTube and Hulu clips outside of the US NOW!!!!

Copy the url and go to keepvid.com. Paste the url in the form and get it that way. Worked for me.
