Meanwhile, Leonard gets a call from an unhappy Sheldon, who, in the season-eight finale, had been told by a growingly impatient Amy Farrah Fowler that she wanted a time-out to think about their relationship. Leonard’s a fan of the online viewing of their nuptials “because there’s a lot of gorgeous blondes out there who don’t believe they can land a short, nearsighted scientist.” “I’ve always wanted a wedding with a comments section,” says Penny, who, as much as any of the guys, continues to develop, with dry observations and quick-witted rejoinders to their oft-pretentious science-speak. They’ve agreed to back-burner the topic while taking advantage of a wedding package that includes flowers, music, and an internet stream of their ceremony.
Now, about the aforementioned issues, which ensure our heroes and heroines evolve at a realistic pace: Penny and Leonard, picking up from last season’s finale, are at the wedding chapel in Las Vegas, having decided to continue with their elopement plans despite Penny having just learned that Leonard once made out with another woman earlier in their relationship. Howard, a kinda-creepy lecher back in the day, now directs his attention to wife Bernadette Raj, while still unmatched with a compatible mate, can talk to women now without having to get blotto first Leonard is confident enough not to only ask dream girl Penny to marry him, but to believe he’s worthy of her (issues at hand in the season premiere - see below - notwithstanding) and Sheldon, the snarkiest, most ill-at-ease geek of his tribe, is now thinking about engagement rings and making babies (again, issues at hand in the season premiere - see below - notwithstanding). Sometimes it’s at a glacial pace, and sometimes even the evolution from awkwardness is awkward, but Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, and Raj have changed in ways big and small and important since first we met them in the 2007 pilot. TBBT writers are accomplishing it by working that original premise: The group of socially awkward scientist buds are constantly evolving. Nine seasons in, and with just seven regular cast members, it’s no small thing to keep story lines and characters fresh. This season premiere is the perfect example of why. Which is to say, despite all those who may consider the show’s longevity to be a head-scratcher, there’s no disputing that Sheldon Cooper and his geeky gang do continue to have a very devoted fan base. And with its ninth season officially launched, TBBT is also the longest-running non-animated sitcom on network TV.
