Sorry! I was more annoyed at my poor turn of phrase!

She plays someone who interviews Sheldon for a job when he looks to be 'normal' to ease his brain while he's stuck on solving his equation :D she is good as a grumpy office woman, she was the secretary in Dharma and Greg (if anyone else actually watched that...?) and was very funny.

Bernadette's actress has only been in True Blood according to wiki. Productive day at the office.

Yep, that was the episode! SUCH a distinctive voice, and its always weird to see it coming out of a real woman! And I also used to love Dharma and Greg, although I think it had a lot of flaws as a sitcom. And I always wanted Jenna Elfmann to be married to Danny Elfmann, but he is her uncle-in-law or something. And she is a Scientologist, so she can * off.

I think Yuds had Melissa Rauch mixed up with Megan Mullally. I'm not sure who that's more flattering to as Megan Mullally is 54.

Like I said, I can't bear Will and Grace so I was really only aware of a small squeaky presence.

Sarah Chalke, who was the older daughter (off & on) in Roseanne was in Scrubs for an eternity.
John Goodman has been in everything.
The mother is dead now.
The older daughters boyfriend & Roseanne herself are the only two regulars that you don't see these days. At least over here.

Vegans!


Vegans are here to ruin everything. We're all up in your tv shows, books, films. Don't forget that Woody Harrelson, badass zombie killer, is a vegan.

What about Lecy Goranson, the original Becky? I don't think I've seen her in anything in recent years. Or nothing I can think of anyway.

Lecy Goranson came back as Becky didn't she? Sarah Chalke had a couple of seasons at most I thought...?

Topher wrote:Mine would all be very predictable - old comedies:

Only Fools (of course)
Blackadder
Fawlty Towers

Now as with nicola_red, those aren't exactly below the radar, but there are also some vastly underrated comedies of old such as:

Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister
Porridge
The Good Life
Open All Hours

Actually you've added TBBT to the list so that is one change I didn't spot! It's the top-rated TV show in the US at the moment, so it isn't a surprise that it's so popular over here too. I think I just watch it with a more critical eye than some people - but then I do that with a lot of things. I do like to analyse everything.

Heh, just flicked a few pages back and found this:

Too late now for anyone else to get into but the first series of Revenge just finished on E4 - did anyone else watch it?

I've also just started watching Perception on Watch

I thought Revenge looked awful! But it may be the way E4 trail it :)

Speaking of E4, I quite like Suburgatory and I've developed a crush on Jeremy Sisto, who plays the dad and was formerly in Six Feet Under. To the Beautiful People thread, in fact!
