I'm done with this blog for awhile

    I may or may not come back to this one.  I don't feel like this one has as much use as my movie one.  I've had a hard time coming up with finding anything to say about many episodes, and find that I repeat myself quite often.

The Big Bang Theory - 6x12 - The Egg Salad Equivalency

    Sheldon's assistant, Alex, makes a pass at Leonard.  Leonard isn't interested in pursuing a relationship with her, but he's flattered by it.  Sheldon is annoyed, so he decides that he has to talk to Alex.  This leads to him getting in trouble with HR, and ratting out the other guys for various things.
    This was a funny episode, but also the most uncomfortable.  Normally, Sheldon being a jerk only affects a circle of characters that are all closely knit, so they can deal with it.  In this case, he's being really out of line, and it affects a person who isn't part of their clique.  He also manages to get all the other guys in trouble with HR as well, which seems more uncomfortable to me.
    The one part of the episode that I liked was the last scene, with Penny showing the nerd glasses she bought.  It's a pleasure to see Penny making an effort, even if she still doesn't deserve him.

The Simpsons - 17x15 - Homer Simpson, This is Your Wife

    Homer is enraptured by Lenny's new HDTV.  In an effort to get enough money to replace the family TV, Homer winds up winning a tour, which eventually lands the family on a reality TV show, where Marge and another mother swap families.  The man she's paired with develops a crush on her.
    I like Ricky Gervais quite a bit.  I loved the original The Office.  His type of humor doesn't blend evenly with The Simpsons.  It's not a terrible episode, but it still isn't really right.  Plus, there's a similar premise already used - back in the 14th season, with Helter Shelter, when they do a reality TV show called the 1895 Challenge.
