"The Big Bang Theory" Analyzes the "Skank Reflex"

Yesterday we posted pictures from the first episode of Sarah Michelle Geller's new CW show Ringer and noted our surprise that it placed 5th in our recent survey asking readers which fall shows they were most interested in our covering. Almost as surprising as the interest in Ringer was the interest in CBS's The Big Bang Theory which easily made the top ten despite having no regular gay content or out actors. Clearly, we've got a very large nerd contingent amongst our AE readers!

Since here in North America we're in the middle of the dog days of summer (but with hurricanes, earthquakes and a Rick Perry presidential campaign thrown in) and since there isn't that much going on, we figured we might as well post pictures from the first episode to whet your appeitite for the show. That episode is called "The Skank Reflex Analysis" and the CBS press release describes it as "The gang deals with the aftermath of Penny and Raj's night together, while Sheldon (Jim Parsons) takes command of the paintball team.

Perhaps some of the show's fans could explain to the rest of us what they think the "Skank Reflex Analysis" is all about.

The Big Bang Theory returns Thursday, Sep 22 at 8 PM on CBS
