Review of The Pancake Batter Anomaly

When Penny returns from her hometown in Nebraska, she tells Leonard and Sheldon that many of her immediate family had the flu. That signals Sheldon to keep away from her since he's a germaphobic. When Sheldon does get sick, Leonard decides to ditch him to watch a Planet of the Apes marathon at a cinema with Howard and Raj. So, ironically, Penny ends up taking care of Sheldon by rubbing vapor rub on him and singing a song his mother warbled to him. After Leonard found out on his cell phone, he and his buddies sneak back in with an upset Penny waiting...This was one of the most hilarious episodes I've seen this season! From Sheldon's various sickness reactions to Penny's flabbergasted indignities to Leonard, Howard, and Raj's shenanigans, this was such a top-notch outing! And I loved Howard's quoting of the "dirty paws off my popcorn" line from the first Apes outing since I watched this a few weeks after the originator of that one, Charlton Heston, recently died. One more thing, Chuck Lorre made his 200th vanity card here and tells us...how lonely he is. He can't be too much so since he now has two hit TV shows in a row!
