How many Episodes are planned, only those seven or don't we just know the title of the others? Maybe include this fact in the head section -Tom — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.206.186.46 ( talk) 02:40, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
May I ask what's the significance of this production code column? 07 Matthew ( talk) 04:20, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
I know in the series he regularly introduces himself as "Sheldon Cooper, PhD., however Sheldon tells us in the series that his highest educational award is actually an Sc.D.
Are we assuming that we should be using his title, or that he gained his Sc.D. post him introducing himself as PhD. and therefore it requires a change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.146.0 ( talk) 21:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
In the description for this episode, it says that Sheldon drove Leonard to Amy`s house to apologize, when it is in fact Leonard who drove Sheldon to comfort Amy as Sheldon does not drive. Thank you for clearing this up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.180.119.146 ( talk) 04:12, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Why does it state that the "Beta test" goes poorly? By the way Penny and Leonard behave at the end of the show, this "method" seems to (so far) work well. Goliath74 ( talk) 19:18, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Article states Nimoy to guest star on Mar 29th, but no episode scheduled for then. Please verify 82.31.185.176 ( talk) 09:21, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
While it should be obvious, since it's explained at {{ Episode list}}, the plot lengths for several episodes in this article are excessive. {{ Episode list}} says that episode summaries should be 100-300 words. Currently, the following episodes exceed this, some by a considerable amount:
All of these episodes need to be pruned. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 07:37, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
Since the finale date was released, and the synopsis is here, http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_bang_theory/photos/62583/behind-the-scenes/102631 and the remaining air dates are listed on Futon Critic, can those episodes be added to the list, or should they only be done when more info is released about them? Personally I feel it would be okay to add them, and just add the info as it comes. - Favre1fan93 ( talk) 05:48, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Is this note necessary? It's trivial in my opinion and a bit repetitive, even though Amy is indeed, one of the main characters now in the series. 07 Matthew ( talk) 08:57, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
In recent weeks there has been a wholesale change of ampersands (&) to "and" in this and other TBBT season articles. For the most part this was executed poorly, corrupting citations and text, breaking urls and introducing errors into the prose. I spent quite some time manually fixing all of the season articles to correct the errors that these, and subsequent edits, have caused.
List of The Big Bang Theory episodes (season 4) was especially problematic, requiring considerable effort to fix.
[3] As well as the ampersand issue, incorrect line break codes (</br> instead of <br> or the more compatible <br /> had been used) and careless editing with
AWB had reformatted citation titles to comply with our date formatting guidelines, despite the titles being exact quotations of the source document titles. Regarding ampersands, I indicated that ampersands are permitted as per
MOS:&, but I notice that there have been some changes, only a few hours later, again changing ampersands.
MOS:& says "Ampersands may be used with consistency and discretion in tables, infoboxes, and similar contexts where space is limited." Since the episode tables are tables, the "|DirectedBy=
" and "|WrittenBy=
" fields are space limited and since we tend to put so much into these fields here, use of ampersands in these fields is entirely appropriate and supported by
MOS:&. Accordingly, there is no good reason to change ampersands to "and" in these fields. --

As the image for the season DVD has come out, I know that other seasons have made the color used on the page reflective of the banner on the DVD packing. Season 5 is a dark royal blue color, very similar to Season 4's color. So my question to everyone is,
Should the color be changed, even though it is very close to last season's (I don't want to create a confusion)?
I personally like the color we have had (partially because I've been used to it for the whole season), but would be fine with changing it if we could distinguish from season 4. Favre1fan93 ( talk) 02:25, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was moved. -- BDD ( talk) 21:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC) ( non-admin closure)

Strong Support – Why are the season pages "list of" episodes for whatever season? Mostly every other season page doesn't have list of episodes. 68.44.51.49 ( talk) 14:48, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Whatever. If that's the rule ...
In the Hamburger Postulate, IMDB fails to mention a vital part of the soundtrack, namely the name of the string quarter being played. Anybody know what it is? If Schubert, which D. no.? If not what is it??? THANKS! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.94.86 ( talk) 16:33, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
I initially raised the following issue in the season two article discussion; perhaps further discussion/debate should occur on that page. This section serves as more of an outlining of the problem and a notification as to where it can be discussed.
We can't note where the title comes from unless we can source a RS that explains that; to do so is OR. I will wait about two weeks, as I am guessing that most of the season articles for the series do this. After that, I will remove them completely as unsourced OR. I welcome discussion on the matter until that time. Jack Sebastian ( talk) 15:10, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
