The Big Bang Theory (TV Series) The Cushion Saturation (2009) User Reviews

The Perfect Spot!

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 4 October 2021]

The boys (and Leslie) are into paintball and not very good at it. While the others are out getting slaughtered, Leslie and Howard hook up. Later, while Leonard is helping Penny with her laptop, she picks up a paintball gun and accidentally shoots the cushion in Sheldon's spot. Of course, like the princess and the pea, he notices immediately and this leads to some amazing stuff. For one, histrionics over what he will do. Secondly, his trying to find a place to sit while he eats (or does anything). Leslie and Howard also have some hilarious moments in his bed.

The Cushion Saturation was another funny episode of "The Big Bang Theory"

In this episode, Leonard fixes Penny's laptop so she gets to buy lots of shoes, Sheldon gets upset when he finds out Penny accidentally used the paint-ball gun on his favorite spot on the couch, and Howard gets many favorable grants from Leslie after they start to get intimate...As usual, there were plenty of hilarious stuff here with my favorites being the exchanges between Howard and Leslie while they're in bed shouting to Howard's never-seen-always-heard mother. I especially loved hearing the mom asking if Leslie's Jewish and that mom's reaction when Howard lies saying, "Yes!" And then there's Sheldon's uncomfortable positions when he tries to make do without his cushion which is out at Penny's dry cleaner store. And one can't get enough of anyone saying "Here we go" whenever Sheldon goes off on one of his tangents...

Sheldon's obsession with his cushion was a great part in this episode. Having him go around the room trying all the places to sit and be very unhappy sure made one laugh. Leslie hooking up with Howard was also a great part of it. I especially loved her answering Howard's mom while she was in bed with him. It would actually be fun if they let Leslie and Howard stay longer together in their non relationship.

weak-ish episode

I found this episode to have a great premise, but it falls apart in execution. The A plot with the cushion provides some laughs here and there but ends up feeling monotonous towards the end. As for the B plot, I don't find Howard and Leslie interesting at all. This episode is passable, but overall meh.

I agree with another reviewer that this is perhaps a thinner episode, but it cannot be denied surely that seeing this cast interact with such quick fire funny lines is a pleasure in itself.

Lovely stuff.
