After playing some computer games with his friends, Leonard overhears his crush, Penny, giggling outside. Turns out she's kissing a guy which Leonard finds out about when he brings her mail which he stole earlier. Since Penny's with someone, Leonard tries to make a move on a female lab partner named Leslie (Sara Gilbert, a former co-star of Johnny Galecki's on "Roseanne"). Nothing there, so now Leonard tells Sheldon his feelings of Penny rejecting him. Sheldon points out that Leonard never asked Penny for a date. So Leonard asks Penny, after she reveals she dumped her guy, for dinner which Penny thinks is with his friends. Although the dinner is awkward, they do make small talk and all seems to go well until Leonard hits his head under the table and asks Penny if that's ketchup she sees on the floor. Back home, Penny says goodbye unaware she and Leonard had their first date while Leonard tells his friends how "great" it was...Plenty of pretty funny lines especially Sheldon's. Amusing brief appearance by Ms. Gilbert. A short interlude in an older singles dance class is a highlight. Hope "The Big Band Theory" did better ratings-wise this week. Will post again next week...
