Seeing as Leonard's mother acts very much like Sheldon, it makes sense that Leonard had an easier time interacting with Sheldon as he was already used to that kind of behavior/person
The neighbor was a PERFORMER!!! Drag is amazing, If you've never seen a Drag show, I highly suggest you check it out! Fabulous singers, funny as heck & some of the kindest people you'll meet
Sam Stone I agree. Personally, I think Helberg should be on a show that allows him to fully show off his talents. He's stuck in a rut on TBBT now that his character's married to Bernadette. He was a lot funnier in the early seasons as an irrepressible horndog. These days, the only time he gets to cut loose is when he's playing dungeon master during a D&D scene on the show.
Abhi U you read my mind,the early seasons were better.it's still a great show but i don't care to much for bernadette. even( sadly though) amy.she was amazing in season 4 and 5 but what happened?she changed so much. i love the show but thank god i have my full maried...with children collection,just saying. ;-) grtz.
Indeed. Back in the late '70s, friends at university sharing an old house, full of furniture of questionable heritage, place always a mess.

That's what Math Teachers do, and tbf (now that i'm an Adult who gotta use facts) is actually completely normal. Is really weird how people keep doing this.... thing of Telling a Perfect Correct Close Answer, as in asking it. (EG, 5*5 == 25?) Just Psychologically Cringy.
Anybody noticed how the explanation for Sheldon's seat is different before and after Leonard moved in? He became a lot more sociable, leaving the couch at an angle that was good for TV and didn't discourage conversation, unlike here.
That's intended, in all actuality it's a very clever episode in the way it shows the positive influence that Leonard has had with Sheldon and allowed him to become more mellow and more accepting of socialisation, notice in this episode how Sheldon's spot is designed to eliminate social distraction to engross himself within the show whereas now it is designed to incorporate and allow for social interaction, arguably because of Leonard's influence.
To me the empty apartment was a symbol for Sheldon’s character. After he met Leonard and the guys the place started to fill up and actually look like a living space and also brought quality to Sheldon’s character. He started to look less like a robot.
And then sheldon would have shown him the door 😅🤣 sheldon later on got his licence and he was STILL making everyone else drive him because "it makes him feel important " sadly he can't get past the fact that only he has the opinion thats he's important. I'm so glad that the writers gave his annoying and egotistical personality a slow growth into a more thoughtful person because his ego was getting too much to bare ☠
First time I watched this, I thought Sheldon was just being his weird/normal self. Then, I realized he was pretty validated doing this. He had to be sure that Leonard had the potential to be a good, compatible roommate
I don't really understand why Sheldon even has a roommate. In other episodes he shows that he clearly can afford it on his own, keeping so much cash stashed around the apartment. He would be better off with no roommate.
@@rocketmom60 he has actually stated that he cant afford the apartment on his own. he earns a reasonable amount, but it's likely he can afford say 90% of the apartment comfortably, meaning alone he struggles but with a roommate he's well off.
when he starts (re)iterating the reason why it's "his seat" I start cracking up and I can't stop until he does. The writers of this show sure knew how to make jokes that get funnier the more you tell them.
Which I found completely stupid. The whole point of the series is to have geeky references to classic geeky shows, if the audience don't get what are they talking about, that's the idea, that you either identify with Penny or with Sheldon and Leonard. Way to fuck things up.
Sheldon being Sheldon, I think we all know you would have no reason to worry, although he would probably ask about Leonard's cleanliness, or how much furniture he wants to bring in the room.
I dunno if I could ever accept him as silly Mr. Bean. Especially with how typecast he's getting as far as the whole Sheldon character (have you seen him being "himself" in commercials, for instance the one with that Olympic swimmer where he's trying to talk the guy into a faster computer... It's like Sheldon playing Jim Parsons, not Jim Parsons playing Sheldon). Then again he's a talented guy so I could be pleasantly an happily surprised. It'd be cool to see him take a stab at playing Bean, I will admit.
Ida Dudenmanner yeah probably....i just feel he has the mannerisms and facial expressions required for bean...(although i would love to see him diversify his filmography with challenging roles in the future)
Mr Bean needs to rest with what there is, or if more, only with Rowan Atkinson. He has defined Bean in his terms, and nobody else would be as EXCELSIOR at it. Yeah, I miss Stan Lee !
given that caltech is a relatively small school with only about 300 staff and that they're both in the physics department, it does seem a bit unlikely that they never crossed paths up until this moment. however, considering it's just a show, i suppose we can overlook it
This episode just proves that Mary's parenting really set Sheldon back. If she were more firm and tough with him then I'd wager he would have became a more well adjusted adult prior to meeting Leonard, his friends and Amy.
I know why the elevator is never fixed. With e elevator broken, the screenwriters can put some dialog in when one of the characters walks up the stairs. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Would you rather see a character stand in an elevator with no taking?
Not sure if that's the reason. Frasier had a lot of elevator scenes with talking. I think it's meant to be symbolic, but I'm not sure of what. My Literature degree was totally wasted on me :P
Sheldon changes because of leonard living with him and penny living and having a close relantionship until he meet amy which he is still working to better himself

He became a lot more sociable, leaving the couch at an angle that was good for TV and didn't discourage conversation, unlike here.
Between this and the pilot, sheldon met Howard and Raj, which could have made him a bit more social
No no no.. that’s the exact same spot, same direction AND the same possibility not to engage! That’s the stupidly funny thing about it! 😂
Funny how Sheldon looks the same and Leonard and everyone does not.
Josh Thomas he doesn't like change so he doesn't ever changes his looks ( that much )
sheldon's the only character that didn't change at all in any of the seasons
There's only so much they can do, considering that they didn't actually film that scene 7 years before the episode

One key thing to know about Sheldon. He doesn’t like change. That’s why he has the same wardrobe, hairstyle, routines and habits.
Not liking it is fine. Forcing others to is a problem, which he sometimes does.

A good intro gives miracles
I would not mind having this scene retconned either during George and Mandy’s first marriage or some other prequel spinoff on the future
Leonard looks like 1970s rockstar
So do Raj and Howard.
I started to say “are you asking me or telling me?” Makes more sense haha
Watching the most recent episode of Young Sheldon hits different now…
My science teacher looks like Leonard and we pestered him so much that he shaved his hair 😂
It's season three episode 22, I have all seasons the kids like it. Hope that helps
thanks!
Thanks
Thank you.
Sheldon whose perceptual acuity is somewhat delayed seemed to have a heightened sense of Leonard’s response to the sixth noble gas question.
I would have failed the test. Because my answer to the "Kirk or Picard?" question would be Sisko.
Can’t help but wish we could have seen what Sheldon and Louise living next door to each other looked like 😂
Leonard in the flashback reminds me of college Ted from How I Met Your Mother. They look alike. :D

And this, kids, is how I met Sheldon.
Ah, one of the early in the 90's flashbacks, Lennard sporting his Michael Bolton Hairdo back then, they aged well 😄
A state of eternal dibs 😂 I’m going to try to use that one.
I just noticed Sheldon was doing chemistry on the board instead of physics
This is my favourite episode of all time
I love these guys
Sheldon hasn't aged one bit from the first episode to now, Jim Parsons is 40!
That Post Apocalypictic Question is tricky i choose to say is there any other option?
Anyone notice during the flashback, Leonard's narration is echoing?
"Cathedra mea, regulae meae" - that's Latin for "My chair, my rules"
^ When the show still tried to be clever. I absolutely cringe at the godawful humour in the later seasons.
