The show has also been at its best when it takes our gang outside their comfort zone. Whether a its trip out of town to a mundane conference, or a trip up north to confront the man who stole Sheldons Warcraft battle ostrich Glenn or a trip to the north pole for 3 months of research, these excursions out of bounds never disappoint. I would expect this trend to continue as we head into this 6th season (how about a trip to Pennys hometown!). Our characters are really given a chance to shine as they try to find their footing in less familiar territory, so look for similar scenarios this season as this recipe for disaster has proven golden in the past.
