TV Danatic: Wheaton To Big Bang Theorize Again
Last October, Wil Wheaton guest starred on The Big Bang Theory as Sheldon Cooper’s sixth all-time enemy. In the episode Sheldon enters a trading-card competition when he hears Wil Wheaton (in a cameo), for whom he harbors resentment, is also participating. For those of you keeping score it was episode six of the third season, and originally aired on 10/019/09. The episode was a fan-favorite and an instant classic. Wheaton knocked it out of the park with his performance as the Evil Wil (should we shorten that to “Ewil”?), playing against the curve throwing ace of Jim Parson’s Sheldon Cooper.
Luckily for The Big Bang Theory fans and Wil Wheaton fans, “Evil Wil Wheaton” is returning to the program for another episode. While it hasn’t been let known how Sheldon’s nemisis returns and why, Wheaton has stated on his blog that be begins work on the episode this Wendesday (2/24/10) and tapes the episode on March 2nd. Once I heard word about Wheaton’s return I looked into getting audience tickets for the taping. I checked the Audience Unlimited, Inc. tvtickets.com web site, but no luck — being in high demand there are apparently no tickets available.
My thinking is that it would be nerdiest of coolness to show up for the taping wearing the Wheeeeeaton! T-Shirt. Or better yet, the entire studio audience wearing the Wheeeeeaton! T-Shirt. Wait! Even better, Sheldon Cooper wears the Wheeeeeaton! T-Shirt in the episode. What? A fanboy can dream, can’t he?
Actually, right now is a pretty good time for fanboys who also happen to be fans of The Big Bang Theory. On next week’s episode (03/01/10) comic book legend Stan Lee makes a guest appearance, and this month’s Maxim features The Big Bang Theory’s Penny — Kaley Cuoco (speaking of fanboys dreaming). Now, if they had only announced The Big Bang Theory action figures at this years Toy Fair.
