[@abhiu2398]

Sam Stone I agree. Personally, I think Helberg should be on a show that allows him to fully show off his talents. He's stuck in a rut on TBBT now that his character's married to Bernadette. He was a lot funnier in the early seasons as an irrepressible horndog. These days, the only time he gets to cut loose is when he's playing dungeon master during a D&D scene on the show.

[@petestone6001]

[@KarlBainbridge]

That's intended, in all actuality it's a very clever episode in the way it shows the positive influence that Leonard has had with Sheldon and allowed him to become more mellow and more accepting of socialisation, notice in this episode how Sheldon's spot is designed to eliminate social distraction to engross himself within the show whereas now it is designed to incorporate and allow for social interaction, arguably because of Leonard's influence.

It's like Sheldon playing Jim Parsons, not Jim Parsons playing Sheldon). Then again he's a talented guy so I could be pleasantly an happily surprised. It'd be cool to see him take a stab at playing Bean, I will admit.
