15 The Roommate Transmogrification – 8.6

The final episode of Season 4, “The Roommate Transmogrification,” saw Raj and Leonard swapping places so that Leonard can spend more time with Priya in Raj’s apartment. Meanwhile, Bernadette gets her Ph.D, resulting in the group ridiculing Howard for being the only non-doctor (besides Penny, of course).

Howard struggles with the fact his girlfriend has become the breadwinner of their couple and now earns more money than him. After a night of drinking in Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment, Raj and Penny wake up to find themselves in the same bed after apparently hooking up.

14 The Countdown Reflection – 8.6

The Season 5 finale saw the much-anticipated wedding of Bernadette and Howard, but the episode is styled with Howard shooting off into space and the wedding and the events leading up to it as being Howard’s flashbacks.

After Bernadette decides that she wants to marry Howard before he goes to space, the group rushes around to make sure the couple has the best impromptu wedding possible. The episode ends with a touching moment of the gang all holding hands while they watch Howard’s rocket take off on TV, meanwhile, it cuts to Howard screaming as he ascends into space.

13 The Panty Piñata Polarization – 8.7

In the second season, “The Panty Piñata Polarization” showed Penny and Sheldon going head-to-head. After Penny reaches for one of Sheldon’s onion rings, he grows distraught and fed up with her barging into his life and stealing his food and Wi-fi.

He gives her three strikes and bans her from coming into his home again. From there, the two do everything they can to interfere with each other’s lives, while Howard and Raj are busy trying to break into the America’s Next Top Model house.

12 The Robotic Manipulation – 8.8

Season 4’s premiere, “The Robotic Manipulation”, was a great episode, earning an 8.8. In this hilarious episode, Sheldon goes on his first date with Amy, while Penny tags along to make sure they even knew what a date is.

Back home, we find Howard in a pickle as he used a robotic hand to help him…you know…when the hand got stuck! In a ton of pain, Howard calls his friends to help out, where they ended up taking him to the hospital to get his *thing* released.

11 The Scavenger Vortex – 8.8

The third episode of Season 7 was titled “The Scavenger Vortex” and follows the group as they finally give in to do one of Raj’s activities. After giving up on his planned murder mystery evening, Raj instead plans a scavenger hunt for the others, who are all paired into teams of two.

After some initial tension of who would be teamed up with who, teams are chosen by the drawing of straws, resulting in some unusual pairings. The unlikely duo of Howard and Amy bond over their love of Neil Diamond, while Leonard gets to see the more competitive side of Bernadette. Sheldon and Penny work together, with Penny aiming to prove that she’s not as stupid as the rest think.

10 The Barbarian Sublimation – 8.8

As the third episode in Season 2, “The Barbarian Sublimation” deserved a higher rating strictly based on Penny’s change of lifestyle. In this episode, Penny is introduced to the world of online gaming, where she becomes so obsessed that she forgets to go to work, shower, or even date.

Since Sheldon is the person who got her into the world of online gaming—after a bad day—he tries his best to break her out of the spell by setting her up with a guy. This, of course, doesn’t work out when Penny is so far gone, she even has Cheetos in her hair.

9 The Maternal Capacitance – 8.9

Season 2 gave viewers the absolute gem of an episode titled “The Maternal Capacitance” where fans were finally introduced to Leonard’s mother, Beverly Hofstadter. As a psychiatrist, Beverly analyzes everyone in the episode and it drives many of the characters crazy, giving Penny and Leonard the opportunity to bond over common ground, and a few drinks, and get a little close under the sheets.

Sheldon, on the other hand, finds Beverly delightful and both he and Leonard’s mother do their own bonding during her stay.

8 The Thanksgiving Decoupling – 8.9

Thanksgiving is always a little awkward for some families because it’s a lot of people under one roof. In this instance, the gang decides to have Thanksgiving at Mrs. Wolowitz’s house. What was supposed to be a big day of eating turns into a bloodbath after Leonard finds out Penny was legally married to her ex-boyfriend Zack.

Penny explains the blunder by insisting that getting married in Las Vegas is a “joke,” but everyone assures her those marriages are, in fact, real. Stunned, Penny invites Zack to Thanksgiving dinner while Leonard is too busy shading the entire situation, making Penny mad at him even more.

7 The Bow Tie Asymmetry – 9.0

Finally, Amy and Sheldon are married! In the 24th episode of Season 11, we find out that Wil Wheaton would be officiating the ceremony until Mark Hamill gets involved when Howard meets him unexpectedly after finding his dog. The rest of the gang is left doing last-minute wedding details, and of course, Shamy ties the knot!

It’s been a long time coming for this crazy couple, and although they both had their faults throughout the seasons, they are one of the best couples in the show.

6 The Adhesive Duck Deficiency – 9.0

In the third season of The Big Bang Theory, we find Leonard, Raj, and Howard on a camping trip. As we discover, Sheldon isn’t a camper (and I think we all know Penny wouldn’t be too keen on camping either). Excited to have a night to himself, Sheldon is ordering food when he hears Penny cry for help across the hall.

As it turns out, she slipped in the tub and injured her shoulder; Sheldon assumes it’s because she didn’t have adhesive ducks in her bathtub. Nevertheless, as we see Sheldon dress and take care of Penny in the hospital, it’s a moment where these two become closer, which was sweet for fans.

5 The Opening Night Excitation – 9.1

Reaching the 11th episode of the ninth season, “The Opening Night Excitation” received a 9.1-star rating on IMDb. This episode was a real doozy because, after five years of dating, Sheldon finally decides that he and Amy can “spend the night” together.

This was right after the two broke up briefly, and since it was her birthday, Sheldon really had little room for error. It was a big night for her and the one thing she wanted more than anything for her birthday, was him. Shamy fans unite!

4 The Staircase Implementation – 9.1

Towards the end of the third season, we finally get to know how this group came to be. Leonard takes us all on a walk back in time, as he tells Penny exactly what happened. After needing a roommate, Leonard applied to meet Sheldon face-to-face in the apartment, where Sheldon then quizzed him. The more Leonard answered correctly (according to Sheldon), the more likely he was to live there.

After being an acceptable roommate for Sheldon, Leonard makes himself at home by, you know, buying furniture for the apartment and having friends over. While Sheldon was furious at first, he’s come a long way. Now his biggest obsession is only his “spot.”

3 The Change Constant – 9.2

The penultimate episode of the entire series, “The Change Constant,” starts with the cast eagerly awaiting to hear of any news as to whether Sheldon and Amy have won the Nobel Prize. Of course, the couple does end up winning, leaving Sheldon struggling with the consequences of fame and success.

Amy gets a brand new make-over with Raj’s help, but this just adds another change for Sheldon to deal with. To top it off, the elevator is finally fixed during this episode, but Penny helps Sheldon deal with his issues.

2 The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis – 9.2

As the 11th episode in Season 2, “The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis” received a 9.2 rating. In this time frame, Penny is finally buds with the gang across the hall when she meets Leonard’s new, attractive “friend” David. Penny and David hit it off immediately, with Penny showing a sudden “interest” in science.

This of course pisses Leonard off, but all he can do it sit on the sidelines and watch them blow up. Meanwhile, Sheldon is in a tizzy because Penny gave him an awesome Christmas gift, and now he must follow suit and get one for her as well. Watching Sheldon, Raj, and Howard figure out an equally amazing gift for Penny was rather humorous.

1 The Stockholm Syndrome – 9.6

Season 12, Episode 24, “The Stockholm Syndrom” was without a doubt the highest-ranking episode since it was the series finale. Fans of the show have been watching for years and it was important to see how the storylines wrapped up.

In this episode, everyone’s getting ready for Amy and Sheldon’s Nobel Prize ceremony. Bernadette and Howard are preparing to leave their two kids for the first time, Leonard and Penny find out she’s pregnant, and Raj brings Sarah Michelle Gellar as his date. The episode was dramatic, comical, and of course, heartfelt.
