Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons Talks About Finding Out About His Emmy Nomination

Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory discusses his reaction to finding out that he had been nominated again for this year's Emmys. Parsons plays the hilarious Dr Sheldon Cooper, the highly intelligent, but woefully socially inempt physics professor on the show that is about to enter it's fourth season.

He was also nominated last year, but unfortunately lost, so maybe better luck this time around. It's kind of interesting to see video like this which appears to be outside the confines of a TV talk show and seems to just be two friends talking.

The Big Bang Theory: The Large Hadron Collision Preview

Looks like Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette are doing okay, but poor Raj (Kunal Nayyar) is left out in the cold. this is a preview for The Big Bang Theory called The Large Hadron Collision which aired February 8th.

The next episode, The Excelsior Acquisition will air March 1st. In that episode, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) has a chance to meet one of his idols, legendary comic book artist Stan Lee, but he is stuck in traffic court after getting a ticket because of Penny (Kaley Cuoco). Hard to believe season three of The Big Bang Theory is already just about over.

The Big Bang Theory ~ Sheldon As Raj's Wing Man ~ With Danica McKellar

This is a clip from the recent episode of The Big Bang Theory with Sheldon (Jim Parsons) helping Raj (Kunal Nayyar) at a party all the while carrying an authentic "Green Lantern" Green Lantern, and yes, that's Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years) as the girl Raj tries to hit on.

Hot Newscaster Was On Little House On The Prairie?

I just found out that CNBC's Melissa Francis was on Little House On The Prairie. You remember that show right? Ma & Pa Ingalls, Mellisa "Half-Pint" Gilbert, and mean old Nelly Olsen. I just found out on Twitter, Sara Gilbert (The Big Bang Theory) and her sister Melissa (the afore-mentioned "half-pint") are on Twitter and I somehow staggered onto this little bit of info. Melissa Francis (yes, that's her in the pictures, now and then) is one of the resident "news-babes" appearing usually around 11am-noon on CNBC. Sometimes I think I must be living under a rock. Francis was the cute little Missy Francis who played Cassandra Cooper-Ingalls during the last part (1981-82) of Little House On The Prairie. I just started on Twitter a few days ago myself and I'm into a whole new world. There are lots of famous and infamous people using Twitter and posting humorous (and sometimes not so humorous) tidbits about the world around them.

Twitter has been growing by leaps and bounds. It is being helped along in it's growing period with such celebs as Ashton Kutcher (he's "aplusk" on Twitter and surprisingly funny, and posts frequently), Demi Moore is there too. But don't just try to link to the famous. There are thousands of others on the site with sometimes brilliant and witty things to say in their 140 character limit. Me, I'm simply, "Hey_Bradshaw" so link to me too if you want. My little band of followers cannot compete with Kutcher's army (1,600,000-plus and growing), but it is fun, informative and costs only some of your time. But it is addictive! And Melissa Francis is there too (she's "MelissaCNBC"), so maybe you can follow her Tweets as well.

The Big Bang Theory: Stuart And Penny Reprise

"I love the smell of comics in the morning" says Sheldon (Jim Parsons) as the boys visit the local nerd store. The store clerk, Stuart, who had previously gone out with lovely neighbor Penny (Kaley Cuoco), asks Leonard (Johnny Galecki) for advice as he prepares for date 2. Leonard, still candleholding for Penny, tries to lead Stuart awry. He tells Stuart to "take it slow. Avoid direct eye contact." Howard (Simon Helberg) suggests Leonard tell Stuart to do everything Leonard has done for the last 2 years as that has certainly kept Penny away from Leonard.

The Classified Materials Turbulence

Meanwhile, Howard is bragging about the "Wolowitz Disposal Unit" installed on the space station. Meanwhile Howard has just found out that his "space toilet" as Leonard calls it, is a trifle wonky. It'll break after 10 flushes sighs Howard. "It'll be like a Jack-In-The-Box," says Howard, except that instead of puppet, "something a whole lot nastier will pop out of that box."

When Leonard approaches Penny about her date with Stuart, he feels guilty when she insists he drop it and leaves. He later asks Stuart about what happened and Stuart says it went great. He did everything Leonard told him to do, he went slow, and then they were "making out later in his car." But then Penny said "Oh, Leonard" and things quickly went south. Back at the apartment Howard is on the phone with NASA being sworn to silence about the "space toilet" fiasco. Penny asks who Howard is on the phone with and Raj (Kunal Nayyer) says "Aw, it's just NASA about Howard's broken space toilet. Then something falls off the ceiling as they are all eating. "What was that?" asks Penny. "Oh, just my mother's meatloaf" says a sullen Howard. "What was it doing on the ceiling?" asks an incredulous Leonard. "That's classified" Howard answers sheepishly.

Cut to an outside look at the space shuttle. "Uh, Houston... we have a 'situation.' We all want to take a spacewalk - RIGHT NOW."
