Zack may be dumb but he’s hilarious and very friendly. I’d love to have a friend like him.

On the episode with the teams from the university had to replace Sheldon because he was being "too Sheldon" they are in the cafeteria and Raj suggest getting the girl who played Blossem to be in the Physicks Bowl. Fun Fact. Amy Farrah Fowler WAS Blossem when she was a teenager. The actress went on to become a neuroscience professor in real life which makes her the only TRUE scientist on that show. Isn't that wild?

Sheldon says he only drinks hot drinks in months with an R. The only months without an R are, May, June, July, and August. Which in America is the summer months, when drinking a hot drink is a bit odd. So Sheldon has a good point

Zack is probably the most underrated out of all the casts

Amy was widely hated by the audience when she first appeared, but fans QUICKLY came to love her. She is amazing. :)

A little about the actress playing Amy: Aside from her lead role on the sitcom "Blossom" as a kid (1991-1995), she was also best known for playing the kid version of Bette Midler's character in "Beaches". That blew my mind when I realized that, because with the curly red headed wig you would NOT know that was Mayim.

The show gets so much better starting now can't wait to see what you think of the progression of old and new characters :)

NO WAY! You met Amy this episode ?!? Wow! Good for you! Lol! She becomes her own person, instead of a Sheldon copycat, on the next episodes. It’s intresting to see.

'What have you unleashed on the world?' Only one of the greatest ships in television history😄🥰

SPOILERS Interesting that Eric says he sensed a repressed attraction from Amy in this first appearance, I didn't pick up on that. But it does seem to be supported when Amy later says at the wedding that she felt something from the very first time she met Sheldon. It also matches up with my sense of Amy, which is that she repressed much of her sexuality due to her mother and her treatment from other kids, which didn't start coming out again until she'd been around the gang for a while. So while she comes off as a female Sheldon here and for much of the first half of Season 4, she loosens up and becomes more of her true self over time, while Sheldon is likely graysexual, so between that and his ego he just doesn't do sexual attraction. ROMANTIC attraction, on the other hand... (Do I think the writers planned that? No. I think they just didn't know what to do with her character after awhile and kept making tweaks over time. But it helps me make sense of her many character shifts in-universe)

The time has come! Amy Farrah Fowler has arrived! And that means my long wait is over, for I have just become a Patron. Give me that early reaction for Shamy here!!! XD

Yay, Amy! I’m so happy we’re at this stage of the show now! Also, Zach is actually hilarious. He’s a fun guest character.

This episode makes me wish that Zach was a part of the permanent cast.🤣

Thus began the ERA Of Shamy!

Zack might be dumb but at the same time he's just too pure for this world Also Amy is the best female charakter hands down

I read some other comments and I'm dismayed that people trying to be cute or funny have posted a few minor spoilers. 😣 The one trivia that isn't spoiler is what another person already said....Mayim Bialik (Amy) does indeed have a PhD in neuroscience. AND she was mentioned (not by name) back in season 1. Raj saying the girl from "Blossom" is really smart....that of course is Mayim. Don't believe the writer/ creators planned it. But I would like to know who thought....."Hey! Remember our little Blossom is really smart joke?" "...Why don't we try to get her?" Good one!

I've been waiting for Amy to come in 🙂

Upon counting, the only months without an R are May, June, July and August meaning sheldon doesn't drink hot chocolate in the summer. That actually makes sense

I've been waiting for this reaction since last year! Amy is my second favorite character and yes she does start as robotic and a female version of Sheldon at first glance. She gets better thanks to best gal Penny. Zack is hilarious. He's my favorite of Penny's exes.

I have a theory about Zack. Zack makes menus, and remember the typos in the menu at the Chinese restaurant?

The most unbelievable part of this whole show, is that Sheldon would get a match on a dating site. Do you know how impossible getting a match on a dating site is?!

This was actually the first episode I saw. funny considering it is one where two new characters are introduced.

Honestly, I've been meaning to do an edit, replacing Howard's "What have we done?" with Gunray's "This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!!" 🤣

I've been watching your reactions waiting specifically for this episode (and the elevator one but their right next to eachother) I'm so glad we finally got to this moment

Yeah the show definitely got more better when Amy and Bernadette became a big part of it. And season 4 is definitely one of my favorite seasons and got one of my favorite episodes, which 1 in particular, I can't wait for you to see. I was waiting until you got to this season to wanna follow your patreon and now I might have too.

Every comment saying it gets better from here is true, Amy is amazing, and the writing and character development really does get better.

ZACK! (How does he get dressed in the morning) !!! 😆👍... And Amy Farrah Fowler!! (And Leslie Winkle as a bonus!) Can’t wait for you to go through the next season: Fun, fun fun!!!

Hmm...Amy looks like she could be an interesting character. I wonder if she'll be back? Oh, wait...I don't have to wonder - I just have to read the comments. Yay!

Yay Amy! The gang is complete

Previning huh. Well Chinese has words for early and late morning as well as early and late afternoon so why not make some for English. Fun fact. The woman that plays Amy is _actually_ a scientist. She legitimately has the credentials her character boasts.

Now Sheldon's going to turn into Sheldon 'She's not my girlfriend!' Cooper

Honestly, Zack is much more suitable to be with Penny than Leonard. Leonard deserves to be with Priya or Alex.

It’s funny that Raj watches The Good Wife because Christine Baranski who plays Leonard’s mother, plays Diane Lockhart in TGW

This is the beginning of SHAMY 😍😍

The pronunciation joke was about how raj couldn't pronounce horse

Next episode ...will be the funniest one yet 😂

Yay! One of the episodes I’ve been waiting for you to get to! Loved your reaction to it! Love watching you react and share your thoughts on this show! I hadn’t considered the fact that you don’t have to wait several months for the next season like I did until you said something. However I always enjoyed binge watching previous seasons on DVD between seasons so it’s not like it bothered me having to wait at the time, but until you said something I had forgotten that I did originally watch this when it was seasonally broadcast (now I watch it via DVD since I own each season).

Jesus christ the amount of spoilers in this comment section is wild 😭?? Can you guys chill.

note to clarify Leonard was not drunk when penny came over.

Finaly you met Amy and Zack!!!

Amy Farrah Fowler is the best thing that ever happened to this show.

I love Amy, Mayim Bialik does such a good job with this role.

Amazing that Zack could be a NON-annoying idiot and HILARIOUS! Wish he had been a major recurring character in future seasons. The prologue of SHAMY!

If I estimated right, you won't finish the series until the middle of 2026... oh boy... here's to no spoilers for the next more than 4 years! 🥂

01:05 I first thought he said 'The Good Life', so I figured it must've been BBC America. 05:43 "So that's it?! Wham! Bam! Thank you, mister." - Craig Charles

Wooww!!! My most awaited episode😍😍

About that, every season ends with a cliffhanger.

I have been waiting for this episode. Amy is one of my favorite characters and I was so excited for your reaction to her

btw mayim byalik is the only cast member who is a real scientist with an actual PHD in neurology

What he meant by it's a surprise party doesn't matter when we get there is that technically and typically the birthday person doesn't know there is a party so they arent expecting guest to be on time , flawed but plausible logic in my opinion lol

Okay Amy wasn't hated. We all already knew her, we grew up with her just like we did with Leonard, Leslie and Sheldon's mom in Rosanne. We knew her as Blossom and she is a real my ego scientist. Everyone from the generation (genx) that the actors are from knew her automatically and loved seeing her back in the game.

Back to back amazing episodes

I just became a patreon cause I needed the next reaction ahahha

My favorite TBBT EPISODE of all seasons ; of all TIME !

I was so excited for you to get to this episode

MY FAV CHARACTER!! next season is definitely one of my favourites, so good.

I love Amy, one of the best characters for sure, tho it might take a little bit for first-time viewers to warm up to her

Yay. Let’s do this

Everything Zack says is pure gold, gotta love the guy:'D

This is the beginning of a beautiful, odd relationship. Just you wait and see Eric! 😉

Feels like it has bean a while since we saw Lesily Winkle.

Great reaction and breakdown as always btw

WE'RE HERE FAM ♥

penny broke up with leonard because she did not want to hurt him since she was not ready to say i love you - if leonard did not push her to say i love you she would have not broken up with him -

Finally Zach and Amy!

Finally!! Amy is the best! My favorite character.

I'm drunk but your reactions are great

Now the real show is on 🔥

First I didn't like Amy, but now she is absolutely my favourite charakter.

Finally! There she is!!

OH, BELOVED ZACH!!!❤😄😅😆😂😄😅😆😂❤

It is an interesting double standard that women can often expect sex and that is acceptable but a man can not. Worth exploring. it IS a double standard. She didn't wait for him to say yes, she literally took his hand and lead him to her place.. that is not OK either

Shamy

...and then there were two...

Having seen this full series, I'm wondering if you know any spoilers from future episodes? You can comment on them if you want, but uou don't need to. I'm just curious.

I'm curious, who do you think is dumber, Zack or Fry?

Guys, a lot of these posts are pretty spoilery! Please cool your jets.

all the characters in this show are so damaged that is why it is so good

I gotta say, while I don't love what Penny does to Leonard here (and to Zack in a way, since I'm not sure if they were officially dating when she did this), I do love that her time with the guys has made her appreciate intelligence more in the men she is with. She sees this as a bad thing, but I think it's a sign of greater self-respect and character development -- especially since a number of the guys she's been with were not just unintelligent, but real pieces of work. Even Zack is a bit of a step up from that, since he's basically a giant puppy.

Amy!!!!!!!

Never liked Amy’s character. Sorry. Loved Bernadette but she become A bit annoying when they switched up and she wasn’t as weird which made it more believable she was with Howard. My favorite women characters on the show were Bernadette, Penny although she had her flaws especially with this episode where she used Leonard for sex but eh couldn’t. Priya, Sheldon’s mother, Leonard’s mother and Alex are the other great characters

zack was the worst addition to this show imo. he’s up there with kripke and that indian girl raj was dating towards the end of the show
