The episode revolves around Penny getting a small part on NCIS but having her scene left on the cutting room floor. This leads to Leonard using his brutal honesty to screw things up as she suffers. Raj and Stuart decide to try just talking to people but even that is a failure. And Sheldon is told he's not funny and he begins to research humor. It ends with a very sad Leonard who has made a possible mistake.

Well,what they say about humor....

...is that analyzing a joke is like dissecting a frog.Eventually,you'll get it,but the frog dies at the end.Well,I've seen all TBBT episodes.Compared to this,some are incredibly funny,and well,some are not.The storyline is this,Sheldon aims to become funny,by analyzing humor,in general and Raj and Stuart try to be less awkward.Penny gets a role in a TV Show,but unfortunately,her scene doesn't make the cut.There is a twist at the end,I won't spoil it for you.
But the real reason why I decided to write about this week's episode is that vanity card at the end. Here,Chuck Lorre apologizes to a actress named Lexie Contrusi because they had to cut her scene,since it was making the episode run long. This a really wonderful gesture and not many people in show business do that.You don't see something like this everyday. Kudos,Mr Lorre,you are a great talent,no doubt,but reading today's Vanity card,my respect for you has increased twice fold.

"The Hesitation Ramification" ep of "The Big Bang Theory" is another fine one of its kind

In this recent ep of "The Big Bang Theory": Penny is excited about her part in the "CSI" series and tells her friends about it. Sheldon gets hung up on his "laugh-making" skills (he doesn't have one, get it?). Raj and Stuart try to make conversations at strangers in a mall in order to prepare for socialization with women. I'll stop there and just say not only is there plenty of laughs in this one but there is also something of a dramatic arc concerning Leonard and Penny that is not resolved quickly so it will continue to the next one. I got a kick out of Sheldon trying to determine what is funny and I also liked Bernadette's laugh which references a certain scene in a certain movie. So on that note, "The Hesitation Ramification" ep of "The Big Bang Theory" is another gem of an episode.
