Come too far to miss tonight's episode of Big Bang Theory.
Kudos for mentioning Face Off's new show. It's been a fun replacement while the main show is in between seasons. Plus this week Sig is back!
TBBT is must-see TV
Sad after all the build up they're dumping Inhumans out on Friday, the weakest weekday for TV.
The weakest of all weekly weekdays Pat
Looks like you're having a good week. Are you getting Electric Dreams over in the U.S. yet? Have seen the first two episodes, pretty good so far.
