Mayim Bialik back at work

[hanc...@bbs.cpcn.com]

CBS News reported that one day after a car accident, she has returned
to work on "Big Bang Theory". This contrasts certain gossip reports
of extremely serious injuries.

If filming already started they may have a continuity problem to
solve--with her hand bandaged in one sub-scene but not bandaged in
another. (Remember, scenes are filmed out of order).


If memory serves, Chuck Lorre made a closing card referring to Cuoco's
accident on the horse.

They could just not show her hand at all...or they could say she got it
caught in an atom smasher (insert more realistic science apparatus if
needed).

[Michael Black]

She's not in physics. I can't remember what field she's in, but she's
studying animals. So likely the smoking monkey finally bit her, or one of
the hamsters acquired super powers and bit her.

When she shows up with a bandaged hand.

They could have the other characters just glance at it in wonder yet
never say anything.

They could have the other characters say something without actually
addressing it.

They could come right out and give an explanation, "I was in a car
accident" or "The smoking monkey finally bit me".

IIRC, she missed a few episodes, and then was shielded when she
returned. Other than the closing card, no other mention was made of
her accident.

As to Ms. B, I wonder if she'd be back at work so soon if she was a
"civilian". That's one of the reasons actors get the money they
do--"the show must go on", no matter what. She might be on pain-
killers, but still had better execute her lines flawlessly.

Those were the episodes where she only appeared behind the bar at
work.

(and btw whenever they show Penny bartending I feel like it came out
of nowhere. They commented on her working at the Cheesecake Factory
but the whole bar set just suddenly appeared in one episode with
everyone accepting that yes, she works there)

On other shows, from time to time an actor shows up in a cast,
crutches, or a heavy bandage, yet nothing is said about it.

Don't be fooled. Her finger is bionic now. Only huge primetime stars
can afford bionics so we'll never hear about them.

She's in a specialty of biology, possible the same as her real life
PhD. (neuro-biology?)

I recall when Penny was upset about something her character rushed
over to place electrodes on Penny's head.


In real life she has published books and gives lectures.

Multi-camera sitcoms are usually filmed in continuity order in one
evening, for the benefit of the studio audience. They may film a scene
multiple times (in case an actor flubs a line, or to try different
versions of a joke), but they don't go out of order.

In the rare cases where there's a location scene, they shoot that ahead
of time, and then play it back on the studio monitors at the appropriate
time in the show. I was at a taping of "Just Shoot Me" years ago, and
they had an insert like that.

Why her arm and hand are all bandaged up?

When Kelly Cuoco had her leg in a cast I don't believe they explained it
in the script or very minimally, so I don't imagine they'll do more than
that for Mayim's injury.

[Ubiquitous]

Pay attention to Les Nessman on WKRP In Cincinatti. He's always sporting an
injury or some sort.

[Michael Black]

I don't remember seeing Penny in a cast, so either my memory is bad, or
they hid it. Like a pregnancy, a leg can be hidden by proper arrangement
of the actor and the camera. A hand or head is much harder to keep out of
the picture, precisely because they are expected to be in the picture.

I thought the bar was at the Cheesecake Factory.

They hid Kaley Cuoco's injury in all sorts of clever ways, including
hiring a stand-in to walk across the set in scenes where Penny was
required to leave a room. They also put a bar in the Cheesecake
Factory and made Penny a barkeep.

They can't hide Mayim Bialik's hand injury so easily, so I don't think
they will. I like the smoking-monkey line upthread. They could also
say that Sheldon squeezed it too hard during the rocket launch.

I'm glad Mayim Bialik wasn't as hurt as the initial reports suggested.

Just two. It was a compound fracture of her leg, very serious. Kaley
Cuoco's quick return to work was remarkable.

The reruns are generally in sync in all markets across the country,
thanks to satellite distribution, and the Penny-less episodes ran this
week. They covered her absence by ignoring it; the stories they were
doing didn't absolutely require Penny's presence.

I can't argue against any of that, but she likely feels a moral
obligation to her castmates as well. Mayim Bialik's been a pro for a
long time now.

I remember reading about Lou Costello going on with a live presentation
of the Abbott & Costello radio show the evening of the day his son
drowned in the family pool.

Amy Farrah Fowler is a neurobiologist. Mayim Bialik is a
neuroscientist. I'm not sure what the difference between those two is,
but there you are.

Bernadette Rostenkowski Horowitz is a microbiologist.

Yes, Penny's bar is at the Cheesecake Factory. I've never been to one,
but their website features their bars, and they appear to be elaborate
and well-stocked. You can eat while sitting at them, too -- full menu.

I thought the Cheesecake Factory was just a place where you ate
cheesecake that they made there. You can learn all sorts of stuff from
TV.

You and me both. That had enormous initial success with Buck Privates,
and later there was the terrific A & C Meet Frankenstein, but after
that they devolved into doing little else but knockoffs of the
Frankenstein movie. There was also that Keystone Kops thing that they
made thirty years too late.

The TV show ran and ran for decades, thanks largely to the daytime kid
audience. Unfortunately, Larry Bozo Harmon bought the rights to A &
C's "likenesses" and had no idea what to do with the property (except
to make a cartoon series that really sucked), so kids today have no
idea who A & C were. Harmon worked the same miracle for Laurel &
Hardy, who were still incredibly popular with kids forty and fifty
years ago, but who are virtually unknown by today's kid audience.

Is that where the cartoon series came from? The guy owner the rights so
he mined it? That would have been the first time I heard of them, it must

Oddly, one of the US border stations ran the tv show in the late eighties
or early nineties, which is relatively recent.

That does fit with what I remember, but I began to have doubts.

It made sense, I'm sure we've seen that she either took a bartending
course, or wanted to, because it was higher paying. Yes, there was an
episode where the boys came over and she practiced making drinks they
specified.

So the Cheesecake Factory thing could be a fill in, or a test, fit the
need of her leg, and then go wherever afterwards.

I'm going to go out on a limb because I'm feeling too lazy to go look
it up on WIkipedia right now and figure that neurobiology is a
subfield of the larger field of neuroscience where neurobiology
concentrates on the effects of the brain and brain chemistry on the
functions of the rest of the body while neuroscience is more
geneerally All About Brains, Brains, BRAINS in a non-zombie way,
including neurobiology but also a lot, lot more -- Neurosurgery,
therapy, neurochemistry, psychiatry, etc. -- with an overall mission
of figuring out 1) how and why the brain works and 2) how to fix it
when Bad Stuff Happens.

IIRC, she was written out of one episode entirely and they filmed much
of the next 2-3-4 episodes without her, filming and inserting cameos
into them later on. Those are the episodes where she's working behind
the bar at the Cheesecake Factory.

Yep, it's filmed in front of a(n) LSO. They probably don't even film

they got married and Dharma has a premonition that he's going to be
involved in an accident that results in her trying to sabotage him
repeatedly in order to try to get him to call off the trip -- was on a
Thursday night.[1]

IIRC, Friends filmed on Tuesdays before it switched to Fridays, in
part because their shoots were getting longer and longer in the later
seasons the more and more they rewrote jokes on the spot.

Mathematically speaking, there's only a 20% chance that TBBT even
tapes on Wednesdays. It's more likely that that was just a rehearsal
day.

Actually, I just metaphorically got off my lazy ass (literally, I'm
still there) and went to:

And TBBT tapes on Tuesdays. They've got more than enough time to write
her injury into the new episode to be filmed if that's the way they
decide to go with it.

Florence Henderson wrote in her memoirs she had to work when her
father died. She missed the funeral.

On several shows, an actor's voice is hoarse, suggesting they have a
cold and are loaded up with cold medicine.

Yes, some of that may not be "the show must go on" but "there's a clause

Penny tending bar has roots as far back as the first season, episode 8. She
was practicing making drinks at home and gave Apu the Grasshopper that
loosened his tongue and gave him the ability to talk to women.

One of the first episodes of the series involved Penny practicing
mixing drinks in her apartment. That's where they discovered that Raj
could talk to women when drunk.

I saw one tonight where her father Wyatt shows up to meet Leonard.
Kaley appears throughout the episode but always stands in one spot,
sometimes on one leg, during a scene. They hired a Penny stand-in to
walk out of the room when Wyatt asks to talk to Leonard alone.

If I hadn't been looking for it, I doubt I'd have noticed. Very slick,
very well done.

They did half a season with Cuoco in a cast when she broke her leg

never mentioned it on the show.

[Rob Jensen]

That's definitely true of live theater -- I never had to do it,
thankfully, but in stage management classes, we're instructed that if
we ever get news of the death of anyone close to an actor or a
significant member of the crew during the performance, we don't tell
the performer -- or anybody else in the production, for that matter --
until after the performance. You don't have to lie -- mainly because
death is almost always unexpected and therefore there are few
circumnstances in which anyone, much less an actor, could be expected
to expect it -- but you do have to sit on the news, even if it was
communicated to you an hour or two *before* the performance. Even when
there's understudies -- understudies are used in different ways by
different companies and, moreover, they most often aren't pinch
hitters or relief pitchers, they're substitutes swapped into the
starting lineup. On Broadway or in L.A. (or Chicago), for instance, an
understudy might not even be there for every performance and might
even have gotten another gig for that day/night (a concert, a
commercial, an audition, maybe even a day-player role on a TV show).

On the other hand, there's Florence Henderson and The Brady Bunch.
Sherwood Schwartz was just being a pissant, control-freaky little
fuck. Even back then, schedules could and would be worked around.

Was he? I could see letting one of the kids miss a production week if that
kid wasn't featured in the story, but Florence Henderson was the star and
principle player in the main cast. Really not someone you could write out
of the show or film around.

If the funeral was in LA, I can see letting her leave for a few hours.
But out of town? I don't see how.

The crew wouldn't have guaranteed minimum wages if production is
cancelled for the day. The main cast would have.

It's too bad that James Doohan isn't still around to give her some
advice.

The portions are decent sized. But the place is still a tourist trap,
along the lines of Hard Rock Cafe.

He knew what he was getting into. Hell, Charlie Sheen practically wrote
the show himself.

They do likewise when an actress is pregnant but isn't part of the
script.

On the Nanny, "CC" was pregnant and they hid her somewhat obviously,
and made a joke about it.

It happened when Henderson was doing stage, well before the B/B. see
above.

Don't piggyback on my article to address something Rob Jensen said. He
was under the impression that she was writing about Brady Bunch, not I.

Ok, first, the Florence Henderson experience was when she was on
stage, long before she did the Brady Bunch.

Secondly, the various memoirs all suggest Sherwood Schwartz was a
pretty good producer, trying really hard to be good to the kids on the
show and patient with the antics of Robert Reed (Reed was given the
opportunity to direct several episodes).

Newspapers used to cover funerals and report on who attended. Nothing
was said about his funeral, but I have a strong suspicion many or most
of the Brady Cast attended.

Well, it was only a matter of time before Kermie had a bad piggyback
experience with Rob.
