Sitting and anticipating my own Thanksgiving holiday, I must
say I love the time of year all the TV specials begin airing. There’s Thanksgiving Charlie Brown. Home Alone.
Tonight, 8PM EST on CBS, we get Sheldon throwing up on a lot
of clowns.
Happy turkey day.
No, no, I’m kidding. As one #CoolTVProps fan put it, this
episode was the funniest aired in some time. Lots of poking fun, but what’s a
holiday where a distant relative (or neighbor) doesn’t bruise someone’s feelings? Even if that relative happens to
be a three-years distance husband you didn’t know you had.
Penny, en route to Mrs. Wolowitz’s house for Thanksgiving
dinner with the group, discovered happenstantially that, yes, Las Vegas wedding
chapels were real and licensed. And thus, for three years (or however many
years now, on this show), she’s been married to her ex-boyfriend Zack. During
the episode argument to follow, we see yet again Leonards’ failure to recognize
what anyone else might be feeling past himself, and again Penny’s failure to
communicate what she’s feeling. But I liked the sneak peek at the end over
coffee—sounds like there might be more bridal bells in the future. For love
this time. Or money.
While the girls and Raj prepare the meal, Bernadette sends
Howard to try and warm up to her cold-as-ice father. He however, creature of
habit, bonds instead with the only other person who didn’t want to be there: Sheldon.
Sheldon so much so he broke PC the whole car ride across town. Get a couple
beers in the Texan genius, and he’s no better, but he at least demonstrates a
different…almost kinder?...side to his nature. Sheldon, bonding with anyone. Imagine!
And so, as many Thanksgiving specials should relate, they
agree that family is family, no matter how broken or small. But always blame
the husband if he’s never around. It’s faster.
