Poll and Contest

Although I won't be attending the final two tapings of the season, I will be keeping this site going! So now the question is what do you guys want to see more of? General news? Reviews? Something else?

I've added a poll to the left side of the site, but if there's something you want to see that's not listed, let me know in a comment!

And, a bit more exciting, I've got a contest to announce: I will be raffling off a program from the February 14, 2012 taping (The Werewolf Transformation), signed by Kunal Nayyar!

To enter to win, there are two things you must do. First, you must be following this blog. If you are not already following, scroll down to where it says "Followers" on the left, then click "Join this site." From there, you can log in with an existing account, or create a new google account.

Second, while logged in to the account you are following from, leave a comment on this entry. At the end of the contest, I will randomly select one winner from the comments, and then check to make sure that user is following this site.

The contest will end on April 23, 2012, at 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time. Only comments made before then will be eligible, which gives you two weeks!

So follow, comment, and please vote in the poll! Good luck!

  2. Great contest!!! I'm so excited:). I'm from Peru, huge fan of TBBT and i think that i was one of the first on following your blog (I'm sorry for my english). I think you should create a team that helps you with the taping report; i'm quite sure that people would love to help you. I'm so in!!!!

    1. I am following the site via google AND using my twitter as the login for the site so my name on the followers list to the left marks me as from twitter. I just wanted to confirm that I am following also via google/blogger as requested for the contest. Thanks!

    2. As long as you're listed among the followers to the left, you're good, regardless of what account you're using to log in. I only mentioned said "or create a new google account" because that's the option I saw for if you don't want to log in with an already existing account from elsewhere. Hope that makes sense!

      (I'm new to blogger myself, not having used it much before this site, so I'm still figuring some things out as I go!)

    1. I don't know yet how strict they're planning on being on attendance for next season.

    2. Even though it would be totally unethical and I know you'd never do it (nor would I expect you to), it nevertheless would be nice if you could prevail upon Simon and Kunal to intercede on your behalf. You guys did look pretty chummy in those photos. :-) Total fantasy idea, I know, but it's nice to dream!

  9. Very many thanks Roxanne for all those accurate taping reports. I will miss not having the next two, and hope they will let you back in next season. The hard work that goes into putting them together and posting so promptly is greatly appreciated. Where do you find the time?

    Here in the UK we have just had two half hour specials on The Big Bang Theory, where one of our presenters went to the BBT set at the time of the 100th episode and came back with cast and crew interviews, behind the scenes stuff, as well as shots of the 100th taping itself (including both the variants you reported of Leonard’s reply to Penny’s ‘King of the Nerds’ comment in the restaurant, only one of which made the final cut). Both specials are on YouTube in two parts. If you want to see them, these are the links (not sure how to make them clickable) –

    The first special was called ‘Access all areas’

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTytzYBk2N0

    The second was called ‘It all started with a big bang’

    Kindest regards from Cornwall, England

    1. Thanks for the reminder about the specials from the UK! I saw links to the specials on fanforum, and thought I should make an entry here about them, but haven't been able to even check them out myself yet. I'll do that now!

  10. Thank you so much for the contest. I have been following your blog for a while but never joined because I feel I didn't have anything interesting to say. Thank you for your reports every single time and I hope that you will be able to attend many tapings next season. I'll also be waiting for the report on the board game if you do one. I have the board game and I find it very interesting with all the questions that it asks.

    Thanks again.

  13. Whoa that's a cool giveaway. Thank you so much for this contest, I'm joining! You are too kind ^w^

    First off, I just wanna thank you for this lovely blog (pretty nebula background)! I have just followed you :D Got your link from a person's comment on IMDB boards haha.

    It sucks that you aren't allowed to attend the final few tapings of season 5 though /: I do hope you won't miss out much and that you'll get to attend season 6 tapings when TBBT returns. Crossing my fingers for you~!

  16. I love your blog! I've followed you on fanforum and now your blog for the past two years.

    Something that I would like to see on your blog is maybe a "Q and A" post... for instance, people can submit questions about the tapings and you could answer them. For example, I've always been curious about the actress that voices Howard's mother. Have you seen her at the tapings? Or are her scenes prerecorded?

    Anyway, thanks for the awesome blog and wonderful taping reports!:)

    1. Nice idea for a Q and A, I may set that up soon!

  17. woxanne is wonderfull.
    From a prior post, perhaps you can develop a network of taping technologigists.

    deveices are clearly not permitted. Are notes allowed?
    your "system" seems to do a good job of tracking the scenes, the premise, and the humour evolution. The full writeup itself and the backstory inferences can be done afterwards.
    There appears to be a fair number of people who read your site who attend.

    We need Roxanne Rangers.

    1. I suppose notes would be allowed... It's unlikely they would even notice, in any case.

      I'm trying to keep myself spoiler free for the rest of the season, but if I'm not able to consistently go next season either, and there are people willing to submit their own reports... Maybe we could set something up. :)

  18. Hi Roxanne and Hi to everyone!!! I just found in fanforum that somebody made a taping report of TBBT 5x23 The Launch Acceleration. I think, Roxanne, that this girl, quoting to bigbangbob, could be one of your "rangers".

    I leave the links for those who have not read yet, can enjoy them

    1. Sounds to me like it'll be a good one. But, I'm sure that the wet blankets online (especially those at TV.com) will continue to rag on Amy. Honestly, if they think the show now sucks so badly just because of the increased presence of Amy (and Bernadette), they should just stop watching it and spare themselves the hassle. IMHO, anyway. :)

  19. I really love your blog, and I'm going to follow you on although you cannot attend tapings anymore. You are a true fan and, I'm sure of this, a fantastic person, so... well, I hope you can count me in the contest though I live so far from the US! :)
    All the best,

  25. Hi Roxanne!

    I started following your taping report over on FanForum since the start of season 4 and I must say I love them! They're freakishly clear and accurate. :P

    I'm sad that you weren't allowed in the final 2 tapings of s5 and hope this doesn't carry over to s6! And I'm digging the Shenny. :P

    (thanks again for the taping reports!)
