Finale Watch Party

Anyone doing anything special to watch the finale? I'm not having a party or anything, but I did do some research on what Sheldon usually ate for dinner on Thursday nights. I found conflicting information. In one place it said Thursday was pizza night and in another place it mentioned anything can happen Thursday. I guess I'll go to the conservative route and have pizza tonight in honor of the show. I have also ordered all people in my house not to stare at me while I cry all the way through it. 😛

Every third Thursday of the month it's "Anything Can Happen Thursday".
On the other Thursdays it's "Pizza Night".

Oh wow! Thank you!
And it is the third Thursday of the month! I think I still want pizza, but I'll leave off the sausage and olives. (It'll be anything can happen on top of my pizza Thursday.)

You mean "Anything but sausage and olives can happen on top of my pizza Thursday."

Ha! Yeah, something like that. (Obviously, I want pizza no matter what, but I really am also doing it in honor of the show.) You doing anything special?
I miss all the music that used to be on this board. Here's a peppy "goodbye to our show" song to start the party: I picked this version because I liked their flappy bellbottoms

Not really anything special. Just recording all of it myself, in case the Unraveling The Mystery special, for example, is missed by the various download/torrent sites.

And it's not just the Unraveling the Mystery "retrospective." (Which I think should be at least an hour, but it's not.) Rumor has it that younger versions of the TBBT cast will appear on tonight's Young Sheldon. (Which by all rights means that their Penny should be basically an infant, since she's much younger than the others.)

Interesting. So what you're saying is I best not dawdle on my way home...as my dvr is set to turn off just after 9 est. ...and it's an old dvr so I can't readjust it via smarty phone.
Thanks!

I'll probably check to at least find out if I like whatever Kaley does next - since I started watching TBBT because she was so good in the last season of Charmed - but I have no interest in following the rest of them.
