Have? Get.



You’ve perused our store and picked up your favorite set props and gifts. Now what? Plan on using them as coffee table knick-knacks for the rest of their days? Does this mean the end for your eclectic shopping? All is fine, we might add, but your blogger’s going to try their hand at finding creative ways to pair Cool TV Props with something else that’s totally cool. Something Barney would approve of. So that someday Barney will recognize my bro status. I’m waiting for it, Stinson.

Get the Captain Future poster.
The Big Bang Theory

You’re one step away from full-blown Sheldon already; if not full-blown robot obsession. So what do you do? Go about the day to day with one type of android wonder and leave the other at home. Hanging on the wall, next to the fridge, in front of the bar counter where you make your high-fiber cereal most weekdays. That’s nice.

The Big Bang Theory, F.R.I.E.N.D.S

You’ve already proven yourself a devotee to one special someone—why not show the same affection for the person in your life living and breathing right in front of you? They’re both cute, classic, and references only the best of minds will understand when you dash out the door.

Feeling Martha Stewart? Snag the elegant Jouets poster for home! Channel your inner style visionary Rachel Green with this piece.

How I Met Your Mother

See, the point of the BroBib was to save the lives of countless other ties and shirtfronts that might have suffered the same ketchup-y fate as the Red Tie. You should commemorate the memory of the Red Tie with your very own tie worthy of protection. Bingo! The Ducky Tie, a year-round accessory everyone will love and appreciate and find very smashing, especially on you. True story.

Or just come onto the site for more epic exploring. Don’t toss out your weekend scrolling days right away.

The New-Product Preliminary



I spy with my little eye some new products in the Cool TV Props store! It doesn’t take a Sheldon-like deduction to notice the new shirts, pulled right from Sheldon’s closet, nor the eye-catching How I Met Your Mother wall poster—a.k.a can Ted Mosby be any more attention getting?

Sheldon Cooper may let on his disparaging critique of the human race with his favorite red ensemble, the Robot Evolution t-shirt.
First donning the fashion choice back in 2008 for the very first season of TBBT, Sheldon focuses instead on the nuances and improbability of how Vulcans and humans can give birth to a certain Vulcan-human hybrid. But anyway.

“The Robot Evolution T-shirt as seen on The Big Bang Theory, featuring the roommates' personal theory regarding the future of the human race. Sheldon Cooper first wears this t-shirt in Episode 13: The Bat Jar Conjecture on April 2008.”

Speaking of robots and other emotionless, Sheldon’s more recent Rock-Em-Sock-Em-Robots t-shirt makes a pointed popularity spike of all the scientist’s screen-T’s. The design nods to the doctor’s childhood, especially during it’s first feature episode, The Rhinitis Revelation. When Sheldon’s visiting mother chooses sight-seeing over baby-sitting, Sheldon comes down with a cold, ensuring in his own sneaky way all the attention and chicken-noodle soup he could ever want. Or so he thinks.

Talk about a blast from the past—the final product, the How I Met Your Mother Cast Poster, features a fresh-faced crew balancing on one of the assorted living room sofas…or, balancing Ted, always leaning on his friends for advice and action. What, does he think he’s the star of the show or something?

“How I Met Your Mother is an American sitcom that premiered on CBS in 2005. The main character, Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), in the year 2030, recounts to his children the events that led to his meeting their mother. How I Met Your Mother's other main characters are Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), and Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan).”

Sheldon Cooper: Superhero



T-shirts aside, Sheldon Cooper’s picked an impressive number of costumes and personas over the Big Bang Theory series, for Halloween and New Years and all the occasions in between. But a few curious fans wanted the breakdown of Sheldon’s creative inner-workings in the way of superheroes. Sorry, Doppler-effect followers. We’re breaking out the literal and proverbial capes to take a better look at Sheldon Cooper’s costumes.

First, to get a culture-reference out of the way:

“I’m batman, shh!
--Sheldon Cooper

Said fans recalled this momentous line, where a drugged Sheldon refused to share Penny’s secret with Leonard, and realized Sheldon might have been dressing up all along; Bruce Wayne looks like a normal person, after all.
And it really wouldn’t shock me if a Batman revelation ever became a plot twist.

As for the rest, we have the what’s and where’s for you. We’re…still debating the why’s, exactly.

Wonder Woman

Less by choice, though it still counts, Sheldon Cooper wielded the lasso of truth, along with his other scientists-turned-femme-fatales, for one episode. When they lose a bowling match-bet with Wil Wheaton, they’re forced to don the costumes and stand in the comic book store. Sheldon might have taken a few notes from the very “empowered” Raj, dressed as Cat Woman.

The Flash

Sheldon’s returning favorite first appeared in the series’ inaugural New Years episode. Sheldon plays one of five Justice League members for the comic book store’s annual costume contest, along with Leonard, Howard, Raj, Penny, and Penny’s then-boyfriend, Superman (not really). They win the contest, despite some early awkwardness between Penny and Leonard.
Later, Sheldon hypes up on caffeine for the first time one evening and becomes the Flash once more. Because only the Flash could contain his level of energy and adrenaline.

I’m not sure yet how good a job it did. To be determined.

The Roommate Adjustment


We all know the Roommate Agreement is a long and heady document, filled with untold atrocities only Leonard Hofstadter can bear. Goodness knows how long it took Sheldon to compile the thing—though perhaps shorter than it’s taken for us to hear it all.

Our filtering takes progress, then. Season six brought one or two additions to the document, a list we’re sure will only extend longer and longer.

Time to get out those pens and fill in the backs of your own Roommate Agreement: we have new clauses for you. 

Roommate Review: Once a year (presumably), Sheldon assesses Leonard's worthiness as a roommate (S6 Ep2).

Sheldon occasionally calls out Leonard’s snark upon the eve of said “roommate review.” I’d hope its once a year. Once a month would seem a little excessive…but then again, this is Sheldon.

“Sheldon, you are not in charge.”
“That’s mighty sassy for a man with a roommate performance review around the corner.”
-- Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper

Section 27, Paragraph 5: The roommate agreement, like the American flag, cannot touch the ground (S6 Ep15).

On the cusp of Leonard and Sheldon’s recent big fight, Leonard demonstrates he’s had it up to here with the Roommate Agreement and tosses it on the floor. Sheldon, ever defensive of his hard work, cites this clause. Leonard storms out in a huff, but not before making it very clear to Sheldon that he doesn’t really live by his rules.

Although, at the end of the episode, he did move back with his peer university scientist.

“Aw. Here’s what I think of your roommate agreement.”
“You pick that up right now.”
“No.”
“Roommate agreement, section 27, paragraph 5, the roommate agreement, like the American flag, cannot touch the ground.”

Good to know you possess exorbitant importance on this country’s flag, Sheldon.

Facebook For The Birds



Dr. Sheldon Cooper may have disregarded his Facebook entirely, but he didn’t shy away from the Twitterverse. While following CBS and The Big Bang Theory twitters dotingly, I decided to dig a little deeper into the inner workings of Sheldon’s own twitter log.
And that Sheldon’s log. And that one. And that one.

Until upon my screen sit five Sheldon twitter accounts and I dare wonder to what lengths he’s stretched his impulsive organizing.

In reality, as I’m sure many of you have guessed, creating faux and “factual” Twitter accounts is a real and established pastime for many dedicated fans and hired hands alike. While some social media professions do list “tweeting as Sheldon Cooper” in their docket of daily duties, fanboys and fangirls find it in their hearts to do the favor for free; sometimes creating true-to-the-letter Twitter feeds, and other times expressly parodying the show and its characters. Another option? Offshoots! Step aside, Spock-Sheldon, on occasion fans may create Sheldon’s of the very parallel universes he so described.
Sounds like fun.

And so, words of wisdom from Sheldon’s many faces:

“If you tickle me, I am not responsible for your injuries.”
-- Sheldon Cooper (@SheldonSaid)

“Why I don't like people: 1%: Logical reason. 99%: I just don't.”
-- Sheldon Cooper (@SheldonOfficial)

“I didn't think it was hard to squeeze toothpaste tubes at the end, but apparently it is.”
-- Sheldon Cooper (@Sheldon_Cooper)

“I hate it when people pour my cereal. They don’t know how much I want. They don’t know my life. They don’t know what I’ve been through.”
-- Sheldon Cooper (@PeskySheldon)

All right, perhaps the Sheldon’s of the blogosphere have varying opinions and attention spans. But combined like so, they paint a pretty picture of our leading doctor.
What’s more, the doppelgangers don’t stop there—find a handful for the rest of the cast! At least, until the real characters show their colors this Thursday at 8.
