When Bernadette announces to Howard that she is pregnant, he goes into his frenetic mode. Obviously, it was over the top. When Sheldon finds out, he thinks this will ruin his fun. The second half of the episode ends up in a karaoke bar and it isn't all that funny.

I have been a loyal fan from the minute I first saw this program and I have to say, this is some of the best work I've seen the writers and actors do. I loved moody Bernadette and the extremely paranoid Howard. By the end of the episode Bernie looked really excited which I'm so happy about! I feel that this is the perfect time for Bernadette and Howard to introduce a little Wolowitz into the show. I can't get enough of drunk Sheldon! Every time he gets drunk he goes crazy! The karaoke was arguably the best part of this episode. Sheldon's high note... Yikes! The guy can sing but that was too loud and high. Anyway I loved the 'baby' theme. I feel like Penny is becoming the old Penny that we all grew to love. Overall I feel that this episode was a perfect way to celebrate the BIG news and it shows that Bernie and Howard can still have fun. Excellent work Big Bang Theory!!!
some what disappointed

The Positive Negative Reaction:
I was somewhat disappointed with tonight's presentation. Did the writers really have to have everyone getting drunk to celebrate Bernadett and Howards news? I expected a more clever way for them to celebrate, as the show usually has clever ideas.
I did like how the girls had their own private talk as well as the guys on how things are or will be with a baby coming.
I have watched this show( and repeats) from the time it first started with these talented actors and love it as well as the addition of new characters. Nice to see some intelligent but fun clean material on TV. Just hope the writers don't start running out of good ideas.

Since all the sexual tension between Amy and Sheldon has gone, it seems that all the creative tension that made this series so great is gone as well - or at least on hiatus.
The issue with this episode is that it relies on the bar scene way too much. It's as if the writers are trying to stretch 5 minutes of plot to fill the time. What little substance is in the conversations before that scene rings true, as any parent can attest, but it still lacks the humorous snap and crackle that we expect from this ensemble.
Maybe the writers felt they had to handle the pregnancy of Bernadette with kid gloves. That's too bad, as pregnancy can be hilarious. When Sheldon gets drunk, why isn't he saying inane or embarrassing things about the pregnancy? He doesn't have to be mean but there's got to be something inappropriate for him to say besides a lame joke about experimenting with twins.
The dialog between Penny and Leonard could have been developed further. Maybe a sub plot somewhere about Raj not discovering the possible planet, instead of just making it a throwaway line in the first act. Anything would have been better than Howard singing "You're Having My Baby"
