Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProfessor Crawley (Lewis Black) mentions "having to move in with his daughter in Oxnard", a town in California where Kaley Cuoco's father is a realtor.
- GoofsHoward claims a cricket they've caught is a common Field Cricket, while Sheldon is sure it's a Snowy Tree Cricket. Field Crickets are dark brown and robust-looking whereas Snowy Tree Crickets are pale green and delicate, as different as buffalo are from gazelles. If that at first wasn't obvious enough, then the photos found by Howard in a reference guide should have promptly settled the argument.
- Quotes
Professor Crawley: Of course I can. I can identify every insect and arachnid on the planet. Not that that's going to keep me from having to move in with my daughter in Oxnard. And we're not talking Oxnard at the beach. No! We're talking Oxnard in the onion fields.
- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #258 CARL THE ROOSTER The day Carl was made henhouse rooster had to be the proudest day of his life. Oh, how he strutted and preened outside the little hut where all the chickens lived. From the corner of his eye he could see them nervously peeking out to see the new cock of the walk. You could hardly blame him for smiling so smugly. He knew that from that moment on, if a chicken wanted extra feed, well, she had to ask Carl. Same thing for pecking privileges in the yard. And of course, when it came time to lay eggs, the premium spots nearest the warming lamps were handed out by you-know-who. Yep, life was good for ol' Carl. Up at dawn, a loud clearing of the throat, a largely ceremonial patrol of the perimeter, and then, an afternoon and evening of doling out favors to the chickens. And the best part about it was he never had to actually ask for anything in return. He would simply tell each chicken to decide for herself what, if anything, she should give him to ensure his continued friendship. But let me tell you, it's no accident he named his rooster hut "Casa Quid Pro Quo." Yep, Carl had it knocked. At least until he was forced out of his job by a class-action paternity suit that was entirely without merit and probably politically motivated by bitter, eggless chickens.

Featured review
The Jiminy Conjecture
Even when the scripts are a bit thin this cast can elevate them into something better.
I didn't think this was one of the better episodes, with the Sheldon/Howard/Raj plot being a bit weak, but there are enough nice lines/interactions to carry it through.
Ok enough.
