There are certain sitcom tropes every show has to cover at some point - the It’s A Wonderful Life episode, the episode when the most intolerable character learns to be tolerable, the one where they tackle mental illness or addiction for half an hour before never speaking of it again and - straight out of the 9.

A new episode of "Big Bang Theory" Season 10 won't air this Thursday, Jan.

The Recollection Dissipation sees Sheldon pulling a Mrs Doubtfire on Amy and Leonard, but the twist is that everyone knows about it and it’s not remotely funny. Nothing escalates, there are no actual jokes that don’t involve soup, and Sheldon it still smarter than everyone he knows. It’s basically a microcosm of the later seasons of The Big Bang Theory. We’re back on the . The show is always better when it focuses on a single character or storyline, but here we go from a set- up about Sheldon wanting to save time by working on two projects at once to an episode about Sheldon getting loopy on cold medicine and forgetting what he’s done. It’s one trope too many for twenty- minutes of screen time.

I have a particular fondness for the latter conceit, mainly because it often forces the episodes concerned to try different structural quirks and provides easy laughs, but it’s strangled here by not having enough time to develop. As soon as Sheldon realises that he’s left the notebook with top- secret military information somewhere, we’re at the cowboy bar and all is well. This should have been candy to The Big Bang Theory writers - Sheldon, who let’s not forget is originally from Texas, in a cowboy bar? It’d have been so easy to throw one more well- worn convenience in there, having the patrons take to Sheldon’s weirdness rather than bully him like they would in real life. We get half- way there, but I wanted more. Also, is there a contractual agreement for Kunal Nayyar that doesn’t allow him to be a major player in too many episodes in a row? After the throwaway line about Raj going to Penny’s work party in place of Leonard I assumed we’d actually get to see said party, but really it was an excuse to exclude him from much of the rest of the episode.

There are some highlights - I still enjoy whenever Bernadette gets to wrestle with motherhood yet still be a real character, and the exchange between Penny and Sheldon in the laundry room is the kind of sweet and familiar scene the show used to do so well. I also laughed at the gag about Sheldon having to be a tutor to much larger men should he go to prison. And Stuart also gets to be a person here, with Bernadette confiding in him her worries about going back to work now that her maternity leave is over. It’s a welcome glimpse of what Stuart’s role in the household might be when the writers aren’t actively beating him down, even if I’d prefer it if she was able to talk to Penny and Amy about this. It seems ages since the girls got together.

But Amy is otherwise engaged, as we see from the final scene. I’m just going to go ahead and assume that Mayim Bialik can genuinely sing Soft Kitty in German and Mandarin, because she’s just that awesome.

The Big Bang Theory season 1. The Collaboration Fluctuation. This review contains spoilers. The Collaboration Fluctuation. There are several reasons I don’t envy the writing team behind The Big Bang Theory, and one of them is because they’re the people who have to concoct brand new situations for their situational comedy every week, filling more than twenty- two half- hours every season. Now, you might sensibly argue that this is their job and they’re being paid handsomely for it, but I also find myself racking my brains for what I’d do with each of these characters and coming up with very little. Very little is most likely just enough for the majority of the show’s viewers, but there are others who’ll always demand more.

That’s been the problem with Leonard and Penny this season - the writers have cycled through everything they had planned for the male and female lead, and there’s nothing left. They’re left with scraps while the better writing goes towards Sheldon and sometimes Howard. Which is why having Raj move into the main apartment was a great idea.

It’s not going to set anybody’s world on fire, but it’s a fun change of dynamic that solves two of The Big Bang Theory’s major issues. It gives them an excuse to write a A- plot involving Penny and Leonard, and it puts Raj front and centre. Raj is a fun character when the show uses him well, but that’s so rare that it’s easy to dismiss him (just like his friends) as the seventh wheel. I’d even argue that jokes built around his love for fashion, gossip and other traditionally . It would have been dumb to simply repeat the beats of last season’s .

It starts off well, mirroring how well Penny and Raj are getting along across the hall with a montage set to - what else - . But they quickly hit a wall and realise their giddily- drawn calculations are absolute nonsense.

Once they start fighting they have a breakthrough, and resolve to throw out the ground rules agreed on beforehand so they can wind each other up enough to stumble into a good idea. None of this is remotely new and interesting, but I’ve given up on critiquing how often this couple get a so- so storyline with so- so gags over all the other characters The Big Bang Theory has at its disposal. More than anything, The Collaboration Fluctuationis probably a good indication of what we’ll be getting for the next two years while so much of the talent behind this show will be devoting time to the Young Sheldon spin- off (see Buffyseason four and Arrowseason three for details). Whether that fills you with a sense of warm comfort or absolute dread and despair will likely dictate whether you’ll be back for more fun next year.
