Reality police December 27, 2018 Share December 27, 2018 I am currently watching Sherlock on Netflix. It is amazing to see the behavior of Benedict as Sherlock. He is like Sheldon on speed. I have watched many incarnations of Sherlock Holmes in my lifetime and have never made the connection. Maybe its Benedict's mannerisms or looks. Social conventions, interpersonal relationships, current affairs outside his interests, and general good manners are not in his wheelhouse. Leonard is most definitely his Watson. The one people like that runs interference for Sheldon with people. So many parallels. Is it just me? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/906-sheldon-cooperjim-parsons-bazinga/page/2/#findComment-4941341
cleo December 28, 2018 Share December 28, 2018 Interesting comparison but I think Sherlock is smarter, more socially aware than Sheldon. I also think he has a greater capacity to care about others and their well being. But I love Sherlock and BC much more than Sheldon/JP. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/906-sheldon-cooperjim-parsons-bazinga/page/2/#findComment-4942165

I always had a fantasy of some sort of Elementary/BBT crossover, since both air on CBS. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/906-sheldon-cooperjim-parsons-bazinga/page/2/#findComment-4975945

I'd have more confidence in their results if they had excluded identical twins, since there could be an advantage to having a wombmate with the same DNA.

Beden March 25, 2019 Share March 25, 2019 (edited) Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the salary range might be for the men and Amy in TBBT? They're all highly regarded researchers at Cal Tech, a top tier university, and have been for a number of years. Someone in Bernadette's position? Penny as a pharma top sales rep? Both of whom likely make more than the others I'm guessing. Anyone? I haven't a clue. I assume they do all right but aren't getting rich, though clearly a Nobel would change things.

They've never said an exact dollar amount, but they have said that Bernadette and Penny make more (lots more) than their husbands. The Nobel is a million dollar prize.
