Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) will have to face his nemesis once again, as The Big Bang Theory producer Bill Prady confirmed to EW
that the producers want Wil Wheaton to return to the show this season,
possibly for November sweeps. Sheldon and Wil Wheaton have faced off
twice before: in a card game and on the bowling lanes, but Prady says
that the scenario being planned now was inspired by the idea of “minor
celebrities cutting in line.” You can probably imagine Sheldon’s rage
if the person he loathes most were to cut in line in front of him and
take the last seats (or the acoustic sweet spot) to a midnight
one-time-only movie screening, so it’ll be awesome if this plan actually
happens.
The Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows on television. Comics, Superheroes, Geeky, Technology, etc. What more could we ask for on television? Throw in a little Wil Wheaton and you have perfection. I just hope this time Sheldon gets the better of him. I was always cheering Wile E. Coyote and Tom the Cat too.

Mark Cuban Declares Netflix is Doomed to Fail
Mark Cuban
is the eccentric owner of the Dallas Mavericks
and was an early pioneer in HD television programming. One of Mark's recent blog posts, entitled "The future of TV ... is TV," got the attention of many observers, who sought to debunk his contention that VOD (video on demand) services from cable operators would become the primary means by which we consume digital media in the future. Cuban's critics site the growing success story of Netflix's
digital distribution model, as well as the 12 million hours of March Madness video consumed via CBS' web portal, in arguing that in fact web streaming is the wave of the future.
Never one to shy away from a good fight, Mark's response tackles Netflix
head on, and points out that the company's rapid growth is about to start working against it, with movie studios and other content providers likely to jack up prices and demand further concessions from the streaming service as it turns into a real competitor to cable companies.
According to Cuban, Netflix
is presently getting its content at prices that are unsustainable, and his prediction is that content owners will seek bigger concessions, which will lead to Netflix
passing costs on to the consumers and losing out to cable operators. Netflix RIP.
