I don't know if anyone watches this show on CBS on Monday nights or not, but if not, you missed a GAH reference tonight. A guy from China was wearing one of the esteemed GAH shirts we see advertised online all the time. It may be geeky and nerdy, but it was a great cultural reference for all of us!  Once the episode is posted, I will try and include a link. |

Great find HD, and look forward to seeing the link when it does come up. |

Cool, that's one of mrs greenguy's favorite series. We recorded it last night. I'll have to check it out later today.

We watched it. Besides TGAH shirt, a original style Battlestar Galactica costume briefly appears. Mrs. Greenguy looked at me, and I confirmed that I indeed have one of those in the closet too. She got a kick out of that. ;D |

I figured that was legit, but not being a fan of the show, I had to trust the costumers. It was still nice to see the GAH nod. |

You were screaming...? Oh...for GAH. *Pointed look at HD* On another note. . . Another GAH reference on Big-Bang Theory! Sheldon (the tall overly-serious one) was wearing a GAH shirt!!! *Now I know why I love this show.* *But not as much as GAH!* |

Caught it & tried to post about it, but was a little late. Actually, I would've missed it, but my parents watch the show. |

I didn't see tonight's episode, so I missed it. I wonder why the creators are using GAH. Is there a tie-in to the show we have yet to find? ;D

Sheldon wears a wide variety of shirts, Green Lantern, The Flash, Batman & Robin, etc. Some are logos, some are pictures of the characters. |

I am just wondering if there is a tie-in from the original show that gave them the idea to use Ralph, especially since he may not be as widely known as some of the others you mentioned. Ms. B: That was last season for my link. It might be broken now. I suggest buying it on DVD. Well worth it. |

No one who works on Big Bang worked on TGAH, and the show has never been mentioned. So...my guess is that someone in wardrobe decides on what to buy, and get it's approved. Maybe their a fan or just aware of the show and logo. |

Okay. It's pretty cool either way, but it would be neat to know how the decision was made to use the GAH emblem. ;D

I checked IMDB (which has many mistakes anyway) but they aren't up to date with the new season. |
