Restaurant connections aside, Penny and Bernie seem to really like Anu.

I know Bernie and Penny were hedging (at first) on saying too much about Raj, but thought some of the anecdotes they shared with Anu probably would have been better left unshared. Friends are supposed to pass along interesting tidbits that make you look good—not things that causes your intended to . Everyone knows that passing along things that'll make your intended is the job of your family.

Still, good to see they hit it off.

Considering how personable and outgoing she is, should be pretty easy to work her into girl’s night; of course, Raj can no longer attend.

That might be reason enough for Raj to call it off!

I mean, if he can't go on "girls night" with his fiancée/wife, what's the point?

She fits in with them sooooo well! I hope she and Raj work out just so they can add Anu to the clique.

Yeah.

I know she is in the friendly-people-business; but even so her personality comes across as genuine, and not as just a 'put on'.

ON ANOTHER NOTE:

Because of the length (misnomer?) of the show, I know there are those who complain at even the possibility of adding another character; but, it is an ensemble. With an ensemble it's mostly group scenes; so, it is not likely we'll be following her around on some Anu-only adventure--thereby taking away time from someone's favorite(s).

So now there are two new pairs Stuart and Denise and Raj and Anu. Mix and match with the rest the season writes itself.

We can hope. But I'm sure there's ample ways they could still screw things up.

And in any event, I didn't sign up to watch the Stuart And Denise Show, or the Raj And Anu Show.
