Twice now, The Big Bang Theory has tickled the idea of the show without Sheldon’s presence.  While ‘The Bozeman Reaction’ carries less weight with its insistence of Sheldon’s departure, it still manages to entertain us with a hilarious, over-the-top episode.

Cleaning House

Although I doubt the robbery will have much long lasting effect, the disappearance of most of Sheldon and Leonard’s entertainment is a big statement for the show.  Perhaps it is their way of demonstrating a departure from the show’s usual nerdy activities and moving towards the human relationships between these characters.

Yes, the security system is about as techie as it gets, but the episode focuses on other ways of providing humor.  For one, Penny and Leonard’s relationship continues to cause unexpected reactions from Sheldon; the same goes for Howard and Raj.  ‘The Bozeman Reaction’ is mainly comical due to Sheldon’s paranoia, and that is something new for the show.

The Impression

The Big Bang Theory never makes any drastic changes to the foundation of the show.  ‘The Bozeman Reaction’  starts with small adjustments that will hopefully lead to continued growth for the show.
