It's Bazinga time!
Season 8 of "The Big Bang Theory" premiered on Monday night with two episodes back to back.
In "The Locomotion Interruption," Sheldon makes his triumphant return to Pasadena, California, after weeks of riding trains across the country. And by "triumphant," we mean he got robbed again and Leonard and Amy had to drive to Arizona to pick him up. In addition, Howard confronts Stuart about his weird relationship with Mrs. Wolowitz, and the two end up making awkward fatherly comments to each other.
Then, in "The Junior Professor Solution," Sheldon gets promoted but now has to teach a class, and Howard ends up taking it after nobody else signs up. This leads to Sheldon trying to constantly outsmart him and Howard being the most disruptive student ever. Also, Amy becomes the popular girl she always wanted to be by taking advantage of the conflict between Penny and Bernadette about Penny's new gig as a pharmaceutical rep.
"The Big Bang Theory" airs Monday at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
