...so says Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
And he most definitely was last week. The fourth season of his hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory premiered last Thursday to hysterical laughter, at least in my living room anyway. Here's a short clip for those who missed it, but be prepared: you will probably want to watch the whole episode.
According to Big Bang Theory's unofficial website, The Big Bang Theory Site, nearly 14 million people tuned into the season 4 premiere, allowing the show to come in finish "first in its [time] slot." So it looks like Big Bang will definitely be around for the rest of the TV season, which is perfectly fine by me.
In other entertainment news, WorstPreviews.com reported this morning that British actor Stephen Fry will play the role of Sherlock Holmes's older brother Mycroft in Sherlock Holmes 2, the sequel to Robert Downy Jr.'s pretty popular action-flick Sherlock Holmes. Fry called the chance to play such a role "a once-in-a-lifetime thrill." (The whole story can be found here at WorstPreview's website.)
So far, entertainment updates over the last week have been pretty good. Between the season premiere of Big Bang, the release of the trailer for Part One of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and the news of Tim Burton's Cheshire Cat joining forces with Sherlock Holmes, Hollywood has me in a really good mood.
I'm glad the feedback on the new season of Big Bang Theory has been good. I only watch a couple of sitcoms and this is a good one, in my opinion. Sheldon is always funny, but the first episode didn't keep my attention as well as last season consistently did. I hope things pick up a bit!
ReplyDeleteI'm inclined to agree with Erin, this clip wasn't as good as other snippets I have seen from the show. Of course, I didn't watch the whole episode or anything. Still, not the worst clip ever.
ReplyDeleteI just saw Sherlock Holmes a few weeks ago. I already want to watch it again, and I can't wait for the new movie to come out. I may be bias though. I'm pretty sure Robert Downey Jr. could play the shark in Jaws and I would be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteOh, God, that Deathly Hallows trailer was one of the most exciting things I've seen all year! Looks like a fitting end to a series that's followed us for over ten years.
