First, Hubble figured out that the Milky Way isn\u2019t the only galaxy. He realized that faint, cloud-like objects in the night sky are actually other galaxies far, far away. The Milky Way is just one of billions of galaxies. Second, Hubble discovered that the galaxies are constantly moving away from each other. In other words, the universe is expanding. The biggest thing that we know about is getting bigger all the time. Most astronomers use the Big Bang theory to explain how the universe began. But what caused this explosion in the first place is still a mystery. ... Since the Big Bang, the universe has been expanding. In the early years, everything was made of gas.

\nWHO'S ON FIRST? ANYBODY? by Michael Schlesinger\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\nA long, long time ago—by which I don’t mean around the\ntime of GHOSTBUSTERS, but 70, 80, 90 years back—show biz had a hallowed\ntradition: the comedy team. These weren’t just actors who frequently worked\ntogether, like Adam Sandler and Kevin James, or Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, but\nactual, official teams, usually two men, their names separated by an ampersand,\ngenerally a comic and a straight man (though the latter could also be funny).\nOccasionally there were more than two, and even more occasionally, there was a\nwoman (notably Gracie Allen), but two men were the norm.
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n 
\nWe know them by their names: Laurel & Hardy, Abbott\n& Costello, Martin & Lewis, Wheeler & Woolsey, Olsen & Johnson,\nBurns & Allen and more. As well as the bigger groups: The Three Stooges,\nThe Marx Brothers, The Ritz Brothers, and that huge aggregate variously known\nas The Dead End Kids, The Little Tough Guys, The East Side Kids, and The Bowery\nBoys. (That last bunch requires a flow chart.) But sadly, with a few exceptions\n(conspicuously the Stooges, arguably more popular now than in their heyday, if\nthey ever actually had a heyday), most people born after Woodstock would not\nknow them on sight.
\n
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n(One night, Jay Leno was doing “Jaywalking” and asking\npedestrians to identify famous movie stars of the past. One identified Laurel\n& Hardy as The Three Stooges. Even after Leno pointed out that there were\nonly two people in the photo, she still insisted they were The Three Stooges. I\nstill cringe at the thought of this.)
\n\n\n
\n
\nSo what happened? Why did the comedy team die out? Hard\nto say with any certainty, but one very real possibility is that America simply\ngrew up, and so did its entertainment. More often than not, the comic part of\nthe team was a man-child: Laurel, Costello, Wheeler, Lewis, Curly Howard, and\nHuntz Hall all seemed like eight-year-old boys in the bodies of 40-year-old men.\nBy the 1950s, they were getting older, and that juvenile shtick didn’t seem so\nfunny anymore. Moreover, television had become the new vaudeville, and more\nadult, romantic comedies were filling the big screen. The funny hats and baggy\npants were being replaced by more sophisticated fare starring the likes of Rock\nHudson, Jack Lemmon, Paul Newman, and James Garner, as well as older but still\nsexy men such as Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, and David Niven. (Jerry Lewis\ncontinued to have a successful solo film career, but he was an anomaly, while\nGroucho moved to TV and assumed a new persona as a waggish quiz show host.) The\ngreat comedies of the past found a new home on the tube, but as The Late Show\nor on weekend afternoons. A few newer teams kept fairly busy in night clubs and\non variety shows, like Rowan & Martin, Wayne & Shuster, and Allen &\nRossi, but the tradition had well and truly passed. (No, I haven’t forgotten\nCheech & Chong, but they had an entirely different appeal and an entirely\ndifferent audience.)
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\nYet despite their obvious similarities, all the great\nteams were unique. Their looks, their voices, their body language were\ndistinctive to each, and even when they performed identical material (e.g.\n“Slowly I Turn”), they put their own spin on it. Laurel & Hardy were slow\nand methodical, allowing situations to incrementally increase past the point of\nno return; sometimes just the merest glance was hysterical. Abbott &\nCostello didn’t sing or dance, but performed elaborate duologues that kept\naudiences gasping, while the latter took tremendous falls at the drop of a\nderby. Olsen & Johnson didn’t even pay attention to the plot: just gags,\ngags and more gags. The Stooges used the plot as a starting point: they just\ndid anything that was funny—the rules be damned—and it worked. The Marx\nBrothers were a three-ring circus: a fast-talking sharpy, a mime, and a scamp\nwith an Italian accent (as well as a straight man when Zeppo was there),\nallowing all sorts of permutations depending on who was paired with whom at any\ngiven moment.
\n\n\n
\n
\nIt can be frustrating when younger people won’t watch this\nstuff because it’s in black-and-white, or because the content is considered\nquaint by today's standards. But those of us who treasure comedy in all forms don’t\ngive up. One of the reasons I’ve made the Biffle & Shooster shorts is to\nprove that this kind of mirth-making can still work in the 21st century, for\nolder and newer generations alike. But if those unfamiliar with its inspiration\nturn their noses up at it, those who were around back in the good old days when\nthese classics ran on TV every day (or even collected them as home movies) can\nrevel in the goofiness. Funnymen are funnymen, and fortunately, no amount of\ntime can ever change that.
\n\n\n
\n
\n 
\n
\nMichael Schlesinger is a trustee of the American\nCinematheque, retired movie-studio weasel, scrappy independent film producer,\nand is the perpetrator of the Biffle & Shooster shorts. He believes Shemp\nHoward was the great natural comedian ever.

\n\nThe Big Bang Theory's Unaired Pilot refers to the original Television pilot made for the 2006\u20132007 season that was produced but not aired the television network. Only Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons were in the cast, and the female lead, Katie, was envisioned as \"a street-hardened, tough-as-nails woman with a vulnerable interior\". Katie was played by actress Amanda Walsh. The show's original theme music was also different, using Thomas Dolby's hit \"She Blinded Me with Science\".\n

\n\n\n

Summary[]

\n
\t\"Unaired35\" \t \t
\t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t

Leonard and Sheldon meet Katie for the first time.

\t\t \t
\n

Leonard and Sheldon encounter a young woman named Katie crying on the curb, having been left homeless by a break-up with her boyfriend. Leonard, despite Sheldon's objections, invites her to dinner and then to stay a few days at their apartment. She is abrasive, sexy, hard, and sarcastic, but she softens a little when she discovers that the guys aren't trying to get something from her. In the end, she decides she'll crash at their place for a while.\n

\n

Extended Plot[]

\n

The episode opens with Leonard sitting in the sperm bank waiting for Sheldon to finish his deposits, which he eventually finished using a magazine of women with big butts (his fetish). At the desk, after annoyingly finishing the receptionist's crossword puzzle, they are told that they won't be paid in cash but with checks.\n

\n
\t\"Unaired31\" \t \t
\t\t \t\t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t \t\t\t

Gilda, as played by Iris Bahr

\t\t \t
\n

On their way from the sperm bank, the duo happen across a crying girl called Katie, who is sitting on the street after a bad break up with her boyfriend has left her homeless. Leonard invites her to the restaurant, to Sheldon's dismay. When Sheldon can't figure out a good excuse, Leonard invites her to move into their apartment.\n

Whilst Katie is showering, a nerdy friend of Sheldon and Leonard called Gilda shows up at the apartment. Gilda, who is shown to have a thing for Leonard and fantasizes about marrying him and having kids, feels threatened by Katie's presence but relaxes after Katie says she's not interested.\n

Katie goes out drinking and arrives back at their apartment late at night, waking Leonard by smashing a lamp. Katie starts ranting to Leonard about her life and why it sucks, using the whiteboard, drawing colorful diagrams to explain her point. Leonard points out that her problems weren't caused by her mother, boyfriend etc., but by her making stupid decisions. Katie misguidedly assumes that Leonard is calling her \"stupid\" (even though he is not) and as a result, she gets offended and moves out.\n

\n

Leonard goes to Katie's place of work, the cosmetics counter in a department store, and even though he had nothing to apologize for, apologizes to her anyway. Katie comes back at the end of the episode explaining that staying there is her only rent-free choice. She takes Leonard, Sheldon and Gilda out dancing and they show their awkward dance moves.\n

\n
Leonard: One across is Aegean, twenty-six across is MCM, thirteen down is... Move your finger. Phylum, which makes thirteen across Port-au-Prince.

\n
Leonard: One across is Aegean, eight down is Nabakov, twenty-six across is MCM, thirteen down is\u2026 move your finger\u2026 phylum, which makes thirteen across Port-au-Prince.
\n
\n
Leonard: How is it that you can recite pi to 80 decimal places, but you can't recognize sarcasm?
\n
Sheldon: Well, I don't think the two are related.
\n
\n
Sheldon: (explains why he's uncomfortable) This isn't where we normally sit. We sit at that table over there. That's our table.
\n
Katie: What's the difference?
\n
Sheldon: What's the difference!?
\n
Leonard: Here we go.
\n
Sheldon: (clears his throat) That table is closer to the kitchen, resulting in the food arriving hotter, and yet not so close as to be distracting. In the summer, the nearby air vent provides adequate cooling. In the winter, it's protected from the outside air. It's generally in the server's eye-line, making signaling efficient. I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
\n
\n
Katie: (sees Leonard holding a green light saber replica) Okay, if that thing vibrates, I'm gonna need to borrow it.
\n
\n
Katie: Ipso facto, I drink till I'm flatso!

\n
Sheldon: Great, jot it down in case she comes back.
\n
\n
Leonard: Look, I'm not very good at talking to people.
\n
Katie: And?
\n
Leonard: And? No, that's it, that's all I got.
\n
\n
Katie: (to a girl smiling at the dancing nerds) They don't get out much.

Differences[]

\n

While originating portions of the Broadcast Pilot's plot, jokes, settings and characters, the Unaired Pilot has several key differences from the eventual official pilot, they include:\n

\n
  • The opening segment is much different from the Broadcast Pilot. It features a different song and a different opening.
    • \n
  • The characters Penny, Howard and Raj have not been created yet. Penny's precursor is Katie who has a different personality from Penny.
    • \n
  • The opening scene at the sperm bank plays out largely as it did in the Pilot, with two significant differences:\n
    • Leonard and Sheldon are already at the sperm bank, instead of just walking in.
      • \n
    • Instead of changing their mind and leaving, Sheldon has already filled his sperm cup, and is paid (after threatening to take back the cup of sperm upon being told he'll be paid by check, rather than cash).
    • \n
  • Leonard and Sheldon have a geeky friend, colleague and love interest, Gilda. As a female nerd with an interest in Leonard, she does appear to be a primitive Leslie Winkle-type character, although a bit different.

Leonard and Sheldon in more old-fashioned clothes

\t\t \t
\n
  • Leonard and Sheldon dress in a different fashion which is more old-fashioned, rather than youthful and Leonard wears dark suits (which eventually became the usual costume choice for Priya).
    • \n
  • In the episode, it was revealed early that Sheldon had slept with Gilda and has a fetish for women with large butts. He has also seen seven women naked, some of whom aren't even his relatives.
    • \n
  • Sheldon doesn't have a spot in his home, but rather a table at The Bombay Palace.
    • \n
  • Sheldon is significantly different from his series counterpart: he is sexually active, he frequently masturbates (as opposed to his later counterpart Sheldon) and has multiple fetishes, likes dancing and is a bit more social than his counterpart. However, some parts of him were carried from the original pilot.
    • \n
  • The set of the apartment is different and there is no broken elevator or indication that the apartment building has an elevator. The lighting in the apartment is also a lot dimmer.
    • \n
  • Katie's mocking and mean streak carried over to the regular series when Penny gets real mad.
    • \n
  • Sheldon's voice is deeper in this episode than it is in the actual series.
    • \n
  • Katie moves in with Leonard and Sheldon, as opposed to Penny who simply moves in across the hall.
\n

Trivia[]

\n
  • An audience survey found that Katie was disliked by the audience for being too mean towards Leonard and Sheldon, so she was retooled into Penny. In contrast, the audience were positive about Leonard and Sheldon so Chuck Lorre decided to add two more guys (Howard and Raj) into the mix.
    • \n
  • Since the pilot spurred a negative reaction, the show was almost cancelled from the start.

Katie works in a department store.

\t\t \t
\n
  • Katie works at the cosmetics counter in a department store. However, when the character is changed into Penny, she is a waitress at The Cheesecake Factory.
    • \n
  • Surprisingly, the only character other than Sheldon and Leonard to appear in the broadcast Pilot is Althea, the nurse at the sperm bank. Her character has made several more guest appearances on the show since. Her hair is different here from her hair in the aired pilot.
    • \n
  • Sheldon's stated reason for his preferred table at the restaurant would later be adapted for the reasons for his spot.
    • \n
  • This episode makes numerous references to a sexually active Sheldon, as opposed to the Sheldon of the broadcast series, most notably that Gilda and Sheldon admit to previously having sex at a Star Trek convention Sheldon also apparently has a fetish for women with large butts, and brings a magazine of such women to the sperm bank for arousal.\n
    • \n
  • Leonard wielding his lightsaber upon hearing a noise late at night, and Sheldon's difficulty of spotting sarcasm (minus Leonard's acknowledgement of this flaw, regarding Sheldon's high intellect) would later be used in \"The Big Bran Hypothesis\".
    • \n
  • Sheldon describes the same calculations on his whiteboard in both pilots, but the actual physics are different.
    • \n
  • In a scene, Katie touched Sheldon's food and he seemed fine with it, which contrasts from the series where he is extremely uncomfortable with it.
