Halfway through the epi. So far I love it!!! Let's see Shamy's date after the break.

Haha, I was looking at the time to try to figure out when the show would be starting on the east coast, and just realized that it's over now! Looking forward to hearing what everyone thought.

“Really? They’re gonna build a robot that spits on your hamburger?” That’s great!
And I love how we got Penny/Howard friendship-very little and in a group setting, but it’s there!
“I am so digging the Shamy!”
Awww Leonard put his hand on Penny’s shoulder when she spit the water.
“Which involves loud and uneccesary appeals to a diety.” “Oh God.” “Yes.”
“Would your womb be available for rental?” “Still digging the Shamy?”
“Let me get my…cockamamie keys.”
Penny driving Sheldon on dates, hehe she’s totally his mom. Making the conversation starters and everything. So adorable.

I liked this ep way more than I thought I would…though if Sheldon’s 31 guys guess for Penny is right, and we know of like 8 that she’s slept with for sure, that means that there were 20+ others that happened before the show started (and before she started dating Kurt) so like…between 14 and 17 she…yeah, prefer not to think of her as a ****. :S
But yeah, I really liked it-both storylines, and I wasn’t expecting to like the LHR one much.

Wow I really loved that episode!! I wasn't expecting to, But they played each storyline perfectly. Like the LHR could come across as too much and crude, but they didn't focus too much on it so it ended up being funny... And I LOVE Amy Farrah Fowler!!!! I can't wait to see her in future episodes

I really likes it. The robot arm was funny, it felt like something we could have seen in S2. And Shamy was okay.
I'm happy.

Eh...I'm not really digging the Shamy, but I wouldn't mind if Amy popped up now and again.

I really loved tonight's episode. We got a nice group scene and then then some funny SPA stuff(though I'm not sure how I feel about Shamy yet). I think I liked the LHR storyline a little bit more, but that probably had to do with Howard's mom and the funny secretary at the hospital. Oh! And Raj's lines! He had some great ones tonight! However, I didn't exactly like the hints at Penny being a ****, it sorta made me uncomfortable for some reason.

loved the episode! so funny...not a fan of sheldon and amy...and the robot arm was hilarious!!

fantomette

same here.

It was unnecessary. Very unnecessary. Please writers, add layers to the "hot blonde".

WeBuiltThePyramids

You mean, return the layers to the "hot blonde". She had them for a while there. But whatever, it's a sitcoms, and there are (apparantly) certian jokes that all sitcoms have to have at some point (shallow comments from a character, stereotypical females, etc) so I'm just used to it. But knowing that it was going to happen made me less angry when it did. It didn't really make me like the episode any less.

HI-LARIOUS episode. Gotta love the S/P, and Shamy! I also loved calculating Penny's sexual partners, and Howard's robot hand. STRONG premiere, no doubt.

FunK

Yeah i'm not a fan of Amy, but i enjoyed the episode as a whole. loved how penny kept trying to start conversation throughout the "date,"i didn't really like the **** comments.

overall it was a pretty solid premiere, looking forward to next week.

F'ing Hilarious!

So glad I did not cheat or watch early. So much better when not hinted at all.

I love the fact that they're all friends again and having dinner together. They really are a great ensemble cast.

Howard really is a horny little perv sometimes. I understand Amy and Sheldon looking at life very logically and scientifically, but that can't be much fun. I can just see their kid being nothing like them.

So happy this show is back.
