Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) appearences on Joey 

Not to mention his character in this also lives with his grandmother. A tad different but clearly both characters have Oedipus Complexes

yes, lol

Riksa Uhdiar way when Howard's fashion is cooler lol

And he was not accepted in Caltech's doctoral program. 😂

@@johnwil4954 not cooler, normal

It bothers me a bit that Simon Helberg lives with his grandmother here instead of his mother

@@justmegumi34 I still think it shows the wimpy, unmanly, dependant side of both characters though.

@@velikan420 Leonard kinda reminds me of George Costanza from Seinfeld though I don't think they have anything in common personality wise

Howard lived with his mother, not his grandmother.

Alien Outlaw wonders alex is a robot. Girl sounds like Bernadette.

So this is another thing that the writers of TBBT stole from Friends? (In this case, from Joey)

More to inspired. Same script writer, he can stole his own idea

Show me a nerd that doesn't do most of these things 🤣

Why not his mother :(((

Actually its a link between Joey and The Big Bang Theory. Also I would be certain that this is Howard Wolowitz if his name werent Seth.

I don't know if this counts 'cause is a small part, but The actor who plays the sexy fireman who goes out with Pheobee, plays the police officer in The Bakersfield Expedition on TBBT. I realized that today 🤓

howard wears a turtle neck

Actually there was another link in Friends season 2, Bert the Geologist played the delivery man that delivered the Days of Our Lives script to Joey in “The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies”

Bro the guy who played officer Gary in friends who was Phoebe's boyfriend was the helium dealer who dealed with Sheldon and Leonard

And having a friend with asperger like Sheldon (in this case Michael) 😅😅

Coincidence

When he said about the indian friend (raj)

Man! That is Howard!

Imagine all the Big Bang theory characters and all the friend’s characters in the same room. And the office and himym AND ALL THE TV SHOWS.

Well one of them are Jewish and one of them are Catholic

I have a feeling this is where Chuck Lorre got his idea for THE BIG BANG THEORY, one episode in Season 2 showed Seth (Simon Helberg) and some of his friends move into the apartment. One of those friends was Indian,he was talking to his parents in Hindi over the phone. Though Joey's sister thought he was speaking Kliong. Their neighbour Alex tried to explain it was Hindi but Gina still thought it was another made up language and snapped at him, 'On earth we speak in ENGLISH!'

PrincessA interesting, I actually never saw Joey, I've only seen a few clips here

I was able to borrow the 2 DVDs from a friend. JOEY would have lasted longer but the writers only made Joey stupider and somewhat sleazier womanizer. He and his neighbhour Alex got along better but then tension and drama mounted after they sleep together. JOEY was supposed to be about Joey's personal growth in a new city (he moved to L.A) and making his family his friends just as he made his friends his family in FRIENDS.

PrincessA too bad

yes :(

Janice in HIMYM

Adrianna from Tony

classic wolowitz hahaha

-Has an Indian friend named Raj, who wears a red sweater

Blue Thunder73 Nope. This is part of Friends spin-off Series titled "Joey"

@@johnwil4954 it's just a joke

A Viola is a musical instrument.

But howard is more creepy and later a well settled guy.

@@sialee6673 that's what I call good character development

No, actually howard is chandler. Raj is joey. Think: both are of foreign, non White Anglo Saxon Protestant descent (tribbiani is italian and koothrapalli is indian). Both slept with numerous women throughout the show, more than anyone else and YET both ended the show without a committed relationship. Both are best friends to the "funny guy" of the show (raj to howard and joey to chandler). Both almost "did it" with the show's main female lead (joey almost sleeps with rachel and raj and penny sleep together without clothes but don't actually do it). Some points of difference are of course that raj is very nervous around women (and yet somehow managed to sleep with more women than anyone else in the show) whereas joey is a super confident ladies man. And secondly joey is not very intelligent and his slow wit is the source of many jokes but raj is an astrophysicist with a PhD...

You forgot seinfeld

And Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen and loads of other guest stars were in TBBT as well 😅😅

It's Joey, spinoff of Friends

Actually, Bernadette sounds like HER 😅😅😅

Yes

AKA Coat Check Girl from HIMYM

Yes. She also played Charlie in Heroes with Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamira) who was in another of the clips.

In Glee as well

if you've seen his character in Designated Survivor "Lyor Boone" his character was like Sheldon. Look it up

@@noda2488 Sure man! Thanks a lot

It's the short lived spin-off of FRIENDS, called JOEY. Joey moved to L.A to further his acting career, one of his sisters and her son are characters in the show

Howard has straight hair.

@@aditisk99 He didn't have straight hair when he first met Sheldon 😅

His name was Seth here

It's not Friends, it's its spin-off, Joey. 2 seasons

Joey, spinoff of Friends
