The Engagement Reaction

[studioAT · 7/10 · 24 March 2024]

This was a very funny episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' and is another example of how the quality has gone up a notch in the fourth series.

It seems more assured now. It doesn't feel like it's trying to be a 'Two and a Half Men' clone in terms of its humour, and the addition of more female characters has only helped to improve things too.

The joy of the show is the interaction between the cast, and finding the balance between plot and letting them spark off of each other again has taken some time to establish.

When it gets it right, as it does here, though it's a very good show indeed.

Here's hoping the form continues.

The Engagement Reaction (#4.23)

A great episode! Bernadette is again a highlight of this one. I loved her saying that Howard's mom had a heart attack because Bernadette has sex with him and she can't. And the end with her using the word "putz" and sounding completely like Howard's mom which he found sexy was just perfect. Sheldon with his worries about the germs was also a wonderful part. I already loved him with the water, but where it brought him at the end was especially funny.

Plenty of surprises abound in "The Engagement Reaction" ep of "The Big Bang Theory"

In a nutshell about this last season ep of "The Big Bang Theory": Howard tells his mother about his engagement to Bernadette. She faints. Her son takes her to the hospital. Everyone else is there, including Sheldon despite his fear of germs that could kill him, and Penny who now considers Howard a friend despite his once trying to French-kiss her. And it's Priya-remember the one who told Leonard to stay away from Penny-she's telling this to so it seems everything's fine socially. Well, except for Bernadette who gets unnerved by what's told to her and Sheldon who gets something he was afraid of...Another hilarious episode of "The Big Bang Theory" that gets it on all cylinders especially concerning Sheldon and Howard along with great assist from Bernadette. I really don't feel like revealing anything else so on that note, "The Engagement Reaction" is highly recommended.

Hilarious

This is one of my favourite episodes. Sheldon with the drop of tequila, Howard throwing himself at the door. It's just a really funny episode

Great from the Gitgo

This is fantastic from beginning to end. First of all, Bernadette goes out with Howard's mother for the first time. When she gets back Howard tells her about the engagement and she appears to have a heart attack. Howard wrecks his shoulder trying to break down the door. Penny tells Priya about Leonard's sexual prowess (not). Sheldon is trying to avoid hospital germs and accidentally ends up in a radiation area and can't leave.
