THE BIG BANG THEORY 6x22

PLOT
The story is split to two major plots.
Sheldon and Leonard found their childhood idol and hired him over to their house to "hangout" while Howard and Bernadette babysit Raj's dog Cinnamon. 


FUNNY MOMENTS










































































































PERSON OF THE HALF HOUR












I'm not saying the cast members didn't do a good job this episode, but in this episode it's the guest star that steals the limelight. Bob Newhart played Professor Proton, a once famous TV scientist who is both Sheldon and Leonard's idol. 
I was impressed at his line delivery. The brief pauses between words and the little movement of his head did wonders for his performance. And they way he enunciate each single word was spectacular. He accurately depicted a confused man stuck in an awkward situation with Sheldon and his straight-faced expression makes the situation very much more hilarious. 

WELL...
There's nothing much that I can say about this episode. It is, like many other episodes, brought laughter without trying too hard. I say kudos to the writers for cracking the code to sitcoms after Friends. Not many shows can sustain the same quality of humor for several seasons. 

In this episode, Bernadette considered having a baby and being a mom. While she showed reluctance in doing so several episodes back, it's a relief to know that she might have a change of heart. However, I find the idea of a baby in TBBT daunting. A baby might distract the show from focusing on what really matters -- the main cast. If not handled well, the show may lose its humor and well, lose its audience. 
But I'm sure the writers would have no problem maintaining the show's quality and seeing Howard and Bernadette struggle with their firstborn would be hilarious.
