The Big Bran Hypothesis

Penny bought a new furniture and asks Leonard if he can receive the delivery for her. He agrees and she gives a copy of her apartment key to him. Leonard and Sheldon find that her apartment is a complete mess. During the night, Sheldon's Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects his sleep and sneaks into Penny's apartment to clean and straighten. Leonard misses Sheldon and ends helping him in his task. When Penny discovers that they went to her apartment while she was sleeping, she becomes mad at them.

"The Big Bran Hypothesis" is another funny episode of "The Big Bang Theory". First, with Leonard and Sheldon receiving the heavy package of Penny and needing to carry it to the fourth floor without the out-of-service elevator. Then, Sheldon's OCD is hilarious, needing to straighten out and clean up Penny's apartment to be able to sleep. Last but not the least, Penny furious with Leonard and Sheldon, with Leonard trying to explain her what happened. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "The Big Bran Hypothesis"

It's just fun to come back and watch these very very early episodes from the first series of 'The Big Bang Theory' and see how things were when it was in that 'beauty and the geeks' era from what would become a twelve year run.

The interplay is nice here, and there's some good early development of the character of Raj and Howard, though they are still side characters away from the main trio at this point.

Full of nice lines and moments, not to mention a huge amount of potential/promise, this is a nice episode to revisit all these many years later.

It's eighteen years old at the time of writing - time flies!

When Sheldon knocks on the door to apologize to Penny, he knocks one time without even saying "Penny". Now I'm curious as you when his tic actually starts, or if it's a whoops on production.

The nerds make a big deal out of the scientifical inaccuracy of Superman catching the falling Lois Lane who is falling from a skyscraper Sheldon points out that she would have been cut into 3 pieces while superman catches her with his iron arms 2 feet above the ground In fact: He catches her not even half way to the ground with a charming smile and also has time for the helicopter I really like BBT (on my 3rd run), still it often insults movies or claims to know more than it actually does so get your facts straight for the last 4 episodes!

The boys make a connection with their beautiful neighbor by going into her apartment. Sheldon's impulsiveness is brought to the fore when we come to realize he can't stand any sort of mess. There is a bit of a bonding thing here. Penny could have distanced herself forever, but she picks up on the relative harmlessness of these schmucks.
