Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

Yeah, the reason is, anybody going to the trouble of getting into a studio audience is already a big fan of the show. Then you take the normal laughter increasing effect of a big crowd and you get all the laughter that takes place on the show.

I don't mind it. I like the guy who plays Leonard (didn't he used to be in Roseanne?) and Kaley Cuoco is tre cute.

But my current must watch TV is Psychoville.

I haven't noticed the 4e DMG, but I do love this show. I will have to keep an eye out for it on a rerun.

They played Talisman once, too.

Now, the question becomes who plays what? According to episode 21, Howard is the DM, so what do Sheldon, Raj, and Leonard play? And have they ever gotten Penny into it?

After the WoW episode, "Guys teach Penny to play D&D" would be hilarious.

Let's see - Sheldon would be some twinked out, min-maxed character to the fullest working every advantage he could out of rules as written.

Raj - hhmmm, how about a high charismatic bard type?

Leonard - probably a by the book fighter or wizard type

They probably got Penny to play once, but only once!

Judging by his reactions to the Hulk Hands, I'm willing to think Sheldon plays a half-orc barbarian.

I watched a bit of an episode on some obscure channel here once and the incredibly loud canned laughter every 3-4 seconds after anyone said anything - funny or not - made me switch channel pretty quickly! I know canned laughter is part and parcel of these US sitcom things, but I never got assaulted by it to quite tha degree in Friends! Threw me right out of the story; all I could hear was the canned laughter...

Then again, I'm far from an expert on US sitcoms; maybe you get used to it. I dunno!

Or just avoid American sitcoms. You won't miss all that much.

For a truly disturbing compare-and-contrast, try renting a DVD of M*A*S*H, on which you can watch the same episode with or without the American laugh track overdubs.

It's hard to believe you're watching the same show.

I could see that as well!
