The Big Bang Theory: The Toast Derivation

LeVar Burton looks like a million bucks.

Once again, The Big Bang Theory strikes that all-important balance between making Sheldon (Jim Parsons) endearingly prickly and merely obnoxious. This time, the joke’s on him, when he refuses to make a minor alteration in routine and find himself alone because of it. His perplexed misunderstanding about why he’s not the center of everyone’s universe – and the very funny ways he attempts to show his friends he doesn’t need them – give the episode a solid boost from which it never looks back. Aided by Amy Farrah Fowler’s (Mayim Bialik) factually accurate but emotional tone deaf comments and a brilliant cameo from TNG’s LeVar Burton, it makes this Bang one of the best episodes of the season.

Also, who thinks Chuck Lorre’s CENSORED card after the credits was about Charlie Sheen?

Loved this episode.  I'm very happy they added Amy as a regular, she cracks me up.  I've never understood the title card thing at the end of Chuck Lorre shows, what's that all about?

Everybody knows that Censored card was about Charlie Sheen.  Maybe Thomas Jefferson was a wimp like Sheen said because Jefferson didn't make $2 million an episode for a show. 

Loved LeVar Burton's cameo.  Very funny.  I also liked that underneath it all, the guys miss Sheldon.  I guess he is a connecting force to them.

Penny will come full circle methinks, will all guys will pale in comparison with Leonard now?

Once you've had Hofstadter

You just won't find better!

Every character they have on this show is gold.  Bernadette and Amy are hysterical together and the "friends" that Sheldon invited over were really funny.  This show is great!
