The Big Bang Theory Season 8 Review Now on Bluray DVD from Warner Bros


Entertainment



There's another new Blu-ray and DVD on the street from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment that's worth talking about. This time it's The Big Bang Theory the Complete Eighth Season. I could not be more excited to be telling you about this new release of the hit CBS television show. 



Not only is this still a very popular series going strong, my family has a personal connection to Mayim Bialik who stars as neuro biologist Amy Farrah Fowler in this hilarious comedy series. Dr. Bialik, who in real life is a mom of two and has a Ph.D in neuroscience from UCLA, taught my kids biology class when we were homeschooling them for middle school. In fact we recently bumped into Mayim at a restaurant in LA and my triplets (who just started college) were glad to see her again and say hello.

Here's my daughter Rebecca (author of Teen Tuesday) with Mayim, her former middle school biology teacher, in a photo taken just a few months ago...

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Season 8
This American sitcom Blu-ray and DVD is the prelude to the current TBBT 9th Season which premiered on CBS TV on September 21, 2015.

Synopsis
In this home entertainment release now available on Bluray, DVD and Digital HD all the show personalities you know and love are back. Now Leonard (Johnny Galecki) is finally engaged to Penny (Kaley Cuoco) who lives across the hall in the same apartment building after he proposed to her for what seemed like forever. The comedy and drama ensue because it's unknown how this all affects the "official" roommate agreement with Sheldon (Jim Parsons). To complicate the hilarity and awkwardness still further, Sheldon finds himself in a too-close-for-comfort relationship with super geeky Amy. 



In episodes throughout this season you'll also get to watch as shy Raj (Kunal Nayyar) is finally talking to and dating women and what happens when characters like Howard (Simon Helberg), Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), Stuart (Kevin Sussman) and the very loud and colorful Mrs. Wolowitz's (Carol Ann Susi) worlds collide. You will likely never see another show that mixes science and comedy with such intriguing storylines and multi-dimensional characters, nerdy but lovable personas.

9Lives Morris the Cat ASPCA Food Drive + Sage Cat Guest Post Advice Series #MorrisFeeds


Pets




Guest Post 
#1 Post in a Series 

by Morris the Cat
Live Well & Prospurr
9Lives Brand Ambassador

WIN a 9Lives Cat Giftbasket

Editor's Note:
Regular readers of MommyBlogExpert know how much I love animals, especially if you recall all the funny animal videos I've been posting on MBE's Facebook page lately. So, when Morris the Cat's people asked me if the cat celebrity himself could write a guest post series for the blog, it didn't take me more than five seconds to say meow and Yes. That's not all. When I found out Morris and 9Lives are also running an ASPCA campaign donating cat food to needy shelter animals via its Live Well & Prospurr program, I responded with a resounding double "YES YES." This Guest Post series by Morris the Cat will appear on MBE every Tuesday for the next three weeks. 
A bona fide celebricat since he made his debut in commercials in the 1970s, America's favorite 'charmingly choosy' feline has launched a "Dear Morris" column to help cats and their humans make the most of playtime. Here's the first in a series of three Guest Posts that Morris has agreed to do for MBE's cat loving readership.

From Morris' Mailbox

Dear Morris,

I'll be the first one to tell you I'm a playful guy. I like yarn, stuffed mice, boxes... you name it. But my human is never in the mood. Something about 'work' or 'being tired,' blah, blah, blah... meow, meow, meow. I try to tell her that a piece of string doesn't wiggle itself! Alas since my human will not play with me, I've taken to reading Proust... and trying to catch my own tail.

Sincerely,
Furry and Frustrated



Dear Furry and Frustrated,
I've seen your case all too many times. Humans are often tempted to blame their unplayful attitude on 'being too busy,' but that's rarely true. (Even the President plays golf!) What many humans don't realize is that we cats don't require a long, drawn-out play period. We like small bouts of play interspersed with two of our other favorite activities, resting and napping. So gently remind your human with a head-boop or a soft meow that you're ready for some action -- she can start off slow with Level 1 of my Official Guide to Amusement, Entertainment, Playtime and More." Also tell your human to be on the lookout for when your tail is in an inverted "U" shape (like in the photo below). That's a tell-tail sign (get it?!) that she should bring out the toys. Remember, fun is contagious... once your human sees what a blast you're having, she'll likely take some more time to enjoy herself as well.

Yours truly,
Morris the Cat
