THE BIG BANG THEORY Deep Dive 2: The Gothowitz Deviation & The Pirate Solution

from The Sitcom Studies Podcast · host Marlessa Stivala and Katie DeFonzo

The dynamic has definitely shifted this week. With Penny and Leonard now a couple, Howard struggles to accept that they often prefer to spend time alone rather than with the group, and Sheldon believes he has the perfect opportunity to “train” Penny to be the ideal apartment guest. We also discuss how these storylines sometimes rely on unfortunate stereotypes, particularly with Raj in danger of being deported - and going to a goth bar?
