I asked George yesterday if we could watch "Big Bang Theory" when it comes out on DVD and he didn't say anything. When I asked again later on the phone, he admitted ambivalence because it struck too close to his academic life as an undergrad. Apparently he studied/lived with guys who talked just like that and he wasn't like them at all.
While I can't say I'm the Penny character in one of my groups of friends (the one I actually met George in), I have my moments when I want to say to them "Seriously guys, you really know every detail about Battlestar Gallactica"?" I have to be VERY careful what I say about BG because if I'm not mistaken it's George's favorite shows.
Speaking of which, we were talking about the shows we watched as children and he mentioned Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" because he knows how much I like(d) astronomy. Apparently I missed out on one of the best documentaries on the subject. It almost makes me want to take my tiny telescope out from under my parent's bed (dont' ask me why it's there) and set it up in my new place, just maybe I will.
