'The Big Bang Theory' Season 6 Episode Episode 22: “The Proton Resurgence”

On this week’s The Big Bang Theory season 6, episode 22, “The Proton Resurgence,” Sheldon and Leonard hire Professor Proton, the host of their favorite childhood TV show, to perform. Also, Howard and Bernadette run into trouble babysitting Raj’s dog.

The Big Bang Theory revolves around Leonard and Sheldon, who are brilliant physicists, and the kind of “beautiful minds” that understand how the universe works. But with all their smarts, the geniuses are socially inadequate, which gives them big problems in interacting with people, especially women. When the free-spirited beauty named Penny, enters their lives by moving in next door, Leonard begins to change, spending his days looking for a love. While Sheldon is content with spending his nights hanging with their socially inept friends, who are his fellow CalTech scientists Wolowitz and Koothrappali, Leonard sees Penny as a possible interest.

The Big Bang Theory, “The Proton Resurgence,” airs Thursday, May 2, (8:00 – 8:30 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. This week’s spoilers video below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
