The continuing adventures of the loveable geeky misfits and their hot neighbour... now with added cast members!
The Big Bang Theory's masterstroke in Season 4 was the introduction (at the end of last season) of Mayim Bialik as Amy Farrah Fowler. Growing from her beginnings as a female version of Sheldon to become 'bestie's with Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and fellow new 'star' Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), and thereby creating a whole new dynamic with opportunities for even more laughs, every word out of Amy's mouth was comedy gold. Bialik (who used to be Blossom!) shines every moment she has on screen, and I miss her when she's either absent in an episode, or confined to webchat with Sheldon (Jim Parsons). Of course, the guys are all still hilarious, with Leonard (Johnny Galecki) finding a new girlfriend in Raj's (Kunal Nayyar) sister and Howard (Simon Helberg) moving his relationship with Bernard on towards marriage.
but...
While Howard, Leonard and, to an extent, Sheldon all get to develop in terms of their relationships with women, Raj is sadly left to his own devices. I want to see him happy next season! Although he is just as funny solo. Oh and Raj's sister has a somewhat thankless task, coming between Penny and Leonard - she's the equivalent of Emily in Friends.
briefly...
One of my favourite sitcoms becomes even funnier with the introduction of Amy Farrah Fowler - long may she continue to shine!
