In The Big Bang Theory episode "The Thanksgiving Decoupling," the entire gang drags an upset Sheldon to Mrs. Wolowitz's house for Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Penny and Leonard must deal with a mistake from her past. This episode is often cited as one of the funniest of the entire series. It includes the hilarious marriage plot between Penny and Zack and the comical character of Brian Smith. To top it off, viewers get to see Sheldon in an uninhibited, intoxicated state, spouting things he would not normally say.
However, some viewers are not entirely satisfied with this episode. The marriage plot between Penny and Zack is questioned, as going to a Vegas wedding chapel does not make you legally married. It is simply a ceremony that does not hold any legal value. Additionally, some viewers argue that shows like Seinfeld, FRIENDS, and HIMYM are superior to The Big Bang Theory.
The episode was rated 8,33 from 4911 votes.
