Oh please say that you have "Thor and Dr. Jones" in your set list.

Ha! We do not, but we do have a Bare Naked Ladies song in our catalog. If I had a Million Dollars goes over well at wineries. Not so much in bars. As a musician, there is one thing that has fascinated me about this show. Howard is really playing the keyboards in his music scenes, and Raj played the guitar part for Thor and Dr. J...and Sheldon...well.... Jim, appears to have perfect pitch. I have stopped and rewound a few scenes here in the band cave when Sheldon would hum a note and say what it was. I'd walk over to the keyboard ....And he nailed it. I know it's Hollywood and they could doctored it, but it appears to me that there was serious attention to music detail. Howard's piano song for Bernadette at the CCF may have been dubbed...but he was playing the part note for note from what I could see.
I'm sure all this has been discussed before...but fun to reflect.

Simon Helberg is an accomplished pianist and musician. If you search his name and musician or piano you will find many clips of him playing. I am sure he would love to jam with your band if he came to your town. Now I want to hear your group. I suppose the Big Bang theme song wouldn't go too well at either wineries or bars but it is so short that it would be over before anyone noticed but too many words to bother to learn. I don't know if Jim has perfect pitch and now I will have to pay closer attention to those scenes.

Sheldon perfect pitch

That's not the scene I was looking for.....

Rats, can't find it.

What scene are you looking for?

I had never paid much attention to the fact that Howie was actually playing the keyboard (though I think subconsciously I assumed he was), but that's really cool. And thanks to Z for the info on him being an accomplished musician! Simon's a really talented guy. They're all quite talented. I'm always especially impressed by musical talent, though, and should have paid better attention. I actually taught piano for about 9 years, but stopped when it became too much with my full-time job.

Whether or not Jim Parsons actually has perfect pitch is irrelevant. Sheldon is written that way. And it's just writing. It would be dumb of them to have someone on the show play a note or something and then have Sheldon written to mis-identify it. But again, that's just writing. Young Sheldon did the same thing in an episode of Young Sheldon, and that was just writing too.

There was a scene where he hums a note in the middle of a sentence and it was the correct note. HOWEVER, while looking for that clip I found a post from someone that mentions he hums a wrong note in the hot Tub Contamination. Which is surprising as they could just keep redoing a scene until he got it right.

Yes, but maybe the production people/director didn't realize it was wrong. They probably don't have perfect pitch either.

Sheldon is so full of himself that he thinks he is right about everything. In the clip above he dings a glass of milk and says it is a specific note. Who there is going to be able to say that he is wrong? He wasn't on key when he finished The Star Spangled Banner after Amys experiment.

Yes, she was a co-star (but in some ways kind of the center of attention) of the series Firefly, and its follow-up movie Serenity. Both worth seeing.

But her big starring role was the awful TV series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" where she played a hot young female girl terminator who, despite being so small, was somehow far stronger than any of the Schwarzenegger types who came after them. She was also in the series Dollhouse for a while (the main star was Eliza Dushku), that show was really interesting although they totally blew it at the end.

p.s. Dollhouse starred Eliza Dushku, who played Faith on Buffy (and Angel for a while)
