TV GUIDE: The Thursday Playlist: Big Bang Plays D&D, Storm Front on Grey's
May 9, 2013
by Matt Roush
Few things bring more pleasure than watching a deservedly hit comedy firing on all cylinders. Such is the case with this week's rollicking The Big Bang Theory (Thursday, 8/7c on CBS), which no matter how long we've enjoyed it still manages to show that it has new tricks up its sleeve — notably, Simon Helberg's gift for celebrity impressions. They come in handy as Howard assumes the role of dungeon master in a game of Dungeons & Dragons on what's supposed to be a boys' night, soon invaded by the gal pals when their plans for a Vegas getaway crap out. "I've never played Dungeons & Dragons with girls before," whines the resistant-to-change Sheldon, to which Penny answers: "Don't worry, sweetie, no one has." Big boom!
It's also a strong episode for relationship development, as Raj ducks out early for another awkward date with the pathologically unassertive Lucy (Kate Micucci, as funny here as she is on Raising Hope), and a roll of the dice forces Sheldon and Amy to confront their intimacy (or lack thereof) issues. Genius comedy from start to finish...
