Late to the Big Bang Party

We were watching "The Big Bang Theory" marathon last night-- and the episode where they decide to be the Justice League? While they're in the comic book store, I see a USAGI YOJIMBO poster! I pointed it out to my friend, but she missed it-- then they showed it again! I was very happy to see it. Have they used Usagi-san before?

Oh, and WHY, on a Usagi Yojimbo site, does the auto spell check keep underlining Usagi Yojimbo as being misspelled?

I never watched it until we went to Argentina, and they showed it on the English language station there--the same episode 4 times a day. The first episode I saw was the one you saw, with the Usagi poster. The second guest starred Stan Lee. The next one had the time machine from the Rod Taylor movie. I was hooked. When I returned I bought DVDs of the first 4 seasons.

However, it seems to be going downhill lately.

It can be a pretty funny show... but I have to say that as a nerd I find the nerdiness rather contrived, artificial. It bothers me too much for me to watch it regularly.

I think Community (and the characters of Troy and Abed in particular) is a show much truer to actual nerdiness... Of course, maybe I'm just biased because it's such a brightly positive portrayal! Perhaps I see bits of my own insufferableness in the Big Bang characters and long for the charming, adorable nature of the Community characters!

I think I need to lie down.

:lol:

I don't like Leonard's relationship with Raj's sister, Priya (hope I spelled that right). She's annoying as heck. They need to get back to working on Leonard and Penny's relationship.

I love the show. While some nerd/geek elements may be overdone, I've recognized some habits and attitudes from plenty of fanboys I've known over the years. Can't help but laugh and smile. :D

When they have showed the comic store, I try my best to peruse the background scenery. I find it most interesting that the majority of the material is DC-related although I have spotted some Dark Horse stuff like Hellboy.

But I missed the UY poster! :o
Have to go back and check for that.

There are a few more Usagi "cameos" throughout the series.

I haven't been trying to locate any recently.
