“The Middle Earth Paradigm” from Season 1 of The Big Bang Theory features a Halloween costume party at Penny’s apartment. Penny invites the gang (Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj) and her friends. The gang has to try to fit in with Penny’s friends while wearing their geeky costumes. Talk about culture shock!
Penny dresses as a cat, pretty normal. And of course a bit sexy. Sheldon dresses as the Doppler Effect, which most people can’t figure out. Leonard is Frodo from Lord of the Ring. I guess he doesn’t get that this character just makes everyone think about his height, or lack of it. Howard is Robin Hood but gets mistaken for Peter Pan! Raj is Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Well, he’s trying to live out the fantasy of being outgoing.
If there were a costume contest, I’d give Sheldon the win for the most creative costume and for having the guts to wear a something that looks like one piece pajamas with long lines. Holy Neeeeeeeuuuum!
Just remember that you can catch the hilarity of the Big Bang Theory 5 nights a week. You’ll never know if the gang will be wearing Halloween costumes or doing something else geeky.
I have been hired by Warner Bros. WBWord division to promote The Big Bang Theory in Syndication.
That’s a great show, I think it’s one of the best after the “Friends” phenomenon.
