Leonard Nimoy Is on Big Bang Theory (Kind of), I Report Begrudgingly
I do not care for The Big Bang Theory. While I know many nerds who enjoy it, it’s appeal completely escapes me. It also doesn’t help that NBC very stupidly put the brilliant Community at the same time, and thus BBT constantly imperils one of my favorite sitcoms ever.
So I’m very begrudgingly telling you that Leonard Nimoy came out of semi-retirement to semi-appear on this week’s Big Bang Theory. Why he chose this instead of another Fringe cameo, I don’t know, but whatever. If you guys wouldn’t mind just watching this clip of Nimoy’s appearance, and then on Thursday night at 8pm turning every TV you own to Community, that would be swell. (Via Blastr)
