The Big Bang Theory – Childhood issues for Sheldon, adult issues for Leonard

Yep, if I have to put up with Leonard and Penny bed scenes, I’m going to make you all suffer with me. I’m still not seeing any boyfriend/girlfriend chemistry between them. They share no interests. As a matter of fact, their interests, their minds, their lifestyles — they’re all so far apart that, if this were real life, they’d have nothing to say to each other. I will continue to suspend my disbelief. At least their relationship gave us a good Sheldon episode tonight.
The Big Bang Theory – Deportation, piracy, or work for Sheldon

Tonight’s episode was actually Raj-centric. We don’t see many of those. And, yes. I’ll be calling him Raj, mainly because Koothrappali is a bear to repeatedly type. Little did we know that Raj has been leading a double life. You heard me. Here we think he’s this diligent scientist, yet awkwardly geeky. He’s geeky, all right. But he’s also filling his workdays with Facebook and other sites (possibly CliqueClack TV!). He’s about to be deported.
The Big Bang Theory – Shiksa Goddess, can we just be friends?

The moment I was dreading on the show came last week — PennyLenny (Turkey Lurkey’s more wild neighbors) had sex. No, I’m not getting over it. Those two, in my mind at least, were never meant to be a sexual couple. What’s next? Barry Kripke and Sheldon will realize that they’re gay and head over heels in love? So this week we had the aftermath of the torrid sexual romp between Penny and Leonard. Oh, why couldn’t it all have just been a dream?
Grey’s Anatomy – Alex tells Izzie he loves her
(Season 5, Episode 10 – “All By Myself”)
I really loved this episode of Grey’s Anatomy. For one thing, it became clear that Izzie is either 1) seeing the ghost of Denny (because no one else can see him, but they can see her talking to an invisible being); or 2) she’s dreaming it up, because in reality she loves Alex and can’t bring herself to admit that because she’s afraid of losing him, just like she did Denny.
That second theory isn’t mine. It’s Alex’s, and I think he’s on to something. But what a guy. He says he’ll be there for her no matter what. And “if you wanna be scared, that’s ok, just be scared with me.” What girl could turn down an offer like that? I practically breathed a sigh of relief when she showed up to assist on his solo surgery.
House – The Itch

Fox
(Season 5, Episode 7)
The fun I was missing in last week’s mean-spirited episode came at me with a vengeance tonight. Yay! There were so many quotes that I couldn’t even get them all down (but after the jump you’ll get to read most of ‘em!).
We had relationships explored, an interesting case of the week, and the theme of being afraid to be happy. Is it worth taking the risk to be happy? The juxtaposition of the agoraphobic and House in their quests for happiness was a stroke of brilliance on the part of the writers, as usual, and I was so, so glad that the funny was back.
How I Met Your Mother – The Best Burger in New York

CBS
(Season 4, Episode 2)
We don’t cover this show regularly here, but ‘The Best Burger in New York’ definitely deserves a spot in our OMG/WTF episode review category. Hands down, this was the best episode of at least the past two seasons, simply for the quotes alone.
I’m going to have one hell of a hard time not repeating Barney’s quote far too much: “I love this burger so much, I want to sew my ass shut.” Or maybe Robin’s “I just want you inside me.” Wow, the next company barbecue is going to be awkward.
I’m sort-of with fellow Clique-mate Bob D. with regards to knowing who the mother is, but I’m still curious how they eventually make the reveal. That said, it was nice to have an episode that stood alone, didn’t spend too much time on relationships and was just funny. Also, gotta give props to Regis for his appearance, which gave it an added touch
I loved this episode so much, I wanted to sew my eyes … crap, that doesn’t work.
