  1. Nicole & Roxanne:

    Thank you for addressing the spoiler issue, I have to apologize for my last comment after episode 53... I didn't mean to sound rude or accusing or anything... hearing the two of you explain where you were coming from and the stuff about the practice of the Big Bang Fandom calmed me down a bit and helped me to see your side of the equation. Again, I didn't mean to come off as rude if that was how you felt at first, and I am very sorry... still love the podcast lol :)

    Also, were the two of you featured on Chuck Lorre's vanity card #282

    Lastly, I just now found your http:// location on Stitcher... which can be found at http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-big-bang-buzz
    I've been listening to your show since day one where I recommended over a year ago that the two of you put your show on the Stitcher Radio app... was shocked to discover there were no ratings or reviews, and that it was featured in only 29 playlists.... whatever that means. Anyway, I took the time to give you your very first review over there and, at the time of this typing, it hasn't shown up yet, but I will paste what I wrote here, and recommend that others follow in rating you over at Stitcher.

    I wrote:

    "This podcast has been in existence for just over a year now, I recommended Stitcher Radio to the hosts when they started, and as of now, this is the very first review here.

    If you're into the hugely successful CBS sitcom "The Big Bang Theory", this show is the one to listen to. Other than being the ONLY podcast around for TBBT, it's also very informative and offers very deep discussion on each episode. Perfect for fans!"

    Listeners are encouraged to give ratings and reviews over at Stitcher Radio either on the website or on the app itself. The question I have here is, are you able to track anywhere how the show is doing, like, how often its downloaded, or heard, or how many listeners you have?

    1. I mostly track through Feedburner, which tells us about how many subscribers and downloads we have daily.

  2. I agree with your hope that this is the last renewal we get because I think anything after 10 seasons would be pushing it a little too far. You never know though where the show will end up the next three years. I absolutely love it when a show knows it will be its last season. I don't see it happening but I would love for them to start season 10, knowing season 10 will be its last. I adore Nicole's headcannon for Stuart. Thank you for doing these, it makes the hiatus a lot better. :)

  3. Regarding the happy news of the renewal of the show for 3 more years... Are you two up for continuing the weekly podcasts for 3 more years??? I hope so!

    1. I think we'll keep doing them as long as we have time, and still have fun with it!

  4. When I heard about the renewal my first thought was: "Great, now it's gonna take two more seasons for Leonard & Penny to get engaged."
    I really hope that they are not gonna drag it out for another season.

    1. Even though I'm now skeptical of a season seven proposal, I don't think we'll be waiting until 2015 for it. But if we pass November sweeps next year without it, I might start a protest!

  5. I've recently started listening to your podcasts and really enjoy them. I have a few questions - you guys mentioned in a previous podcast that you think the roommate agreement has been overused. Do you guys feel the same way about Shamy's relationship agreement, or do you feel it is something that should be continued as their relationship grows? I also wonder - now that the show has been renewed for three seasons, do you hope for Sheldon and Amy to get married? I know you guys are rooting for Leonard and Penny to get married, but I'm curious if you want Shamy to walk down the aisle as well. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

  6. Thank you for answering my questions in #54.

    A comment regarding your concern about whether you are committing “verbal crutches” (eh, ah. like) too frequently? (IMHO) it is unwarranted…in an unscripted context, you two maintain a spontaneous dialog very professionally. You make an entertaining team!

    I look forward to your discussion regarding how Sheldon ‘processes’ the Texas trip including if there is a conversation about it with Amy…

    To honor your boundary about spoilers, I’ll ask you about a personal favorite topic of mine that does not involve any of the ‘known universe’ of current show promo stuff for the episodes yet to air: “Which of the Star Trek ‘Captains’ will be the first to grace the sets of the BBT?” Sulu does not count! “Which ‘should’ it be…Kirk or Picard?” and “Will we see an exploitation of Kaley’s ‘other’ gig in the context of Penny’s ‘career’”?

    1. Thanks for your comment on the "verbal crutches"! That's honestly been a concern of mine since we started, and I'm trying to get better, but your comment does make me feel better about it.

  7. I too thought it was interesting that Penny asked who the murderer was when it turns out that it was her, and I do like the thought that she was playing along, but her "*that* kind of actress, this sucks!" bit makes me doubt she'd be so compliant that early in the game. she had the card in her hand, but she barely glanced at it, I don't think she actually *knew* yet that it was her. more impressive in my mind is Raj's reaction, because we know for certain that he knew Penny was the murderer, but he didn't let it show on his face at all, even though inside he was saying "heh, nice try, wait till you read the card".

    1. Yeah, I noticed once I had a chance to rewatch the episode that she hadn't actually looked at her card at that point yet. Whoops!

  8. also, I like the idea of a 10-year run, and I'm confident that they can find a way to wrap it up nicely (instead of trying to make it go forever like some shows that shall remain simpsonssouthpark). I'd like to see the birth of Penny & Leonard's first baby be the main plot of the final ep, as long as they can do that without ripping off Mad About You. Raj's wedding should be the B-plot, with the reception getting cut short when Penny's water breaks.

    1. I've never seen Mad About You, but, and this is just a personal preference, I hope that if we see them have a baby on the show, that part of the story doesn't start with Penny's water breaking. That seems to always be how they start labor on shows, when in reality, water breaks prior to the start of contractions only something like 15% of the time. But I'm sure that if we actually do get to see them have a baby on the show, I won't be too picky about the specifics!

  9. Find Mad about You somewhere, great show and it has Lisa Kudrow! (spelling?) You young kids lol

  10. Di`remp´tion, n. 1. A tearing apart; violent separation. I'm not so much liking the implications of that definition...love to hear your thoughts on the subject!
