A Glance into Fio's Cracked Crystal Ball

What's Fio's prediction for life post-Big Bang Theory?

Maybe Johnny Galecki  and Kaley Cuoco will star in a spin-off featuring Leonard and Penny as a married couple trying to balance his academic career and her show biz aspirations.  And maybe Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) will put in a stint as a talk-show host.  Sheldon is too extreme a character to carry a show without a foil so Jim Parsons, who's already demonstrated his musical chops, will head off for Broadway, following in the nimle footsteps of Neil Patrick Harris.  Amy Farrah Fowler is also too extreme for singular stardom, but Mayim Bialik is so versatile that her pan is always full of fish to fry, in or out of show biz. Howard Wolowitz--Simon Helberg--could fill Michael J. Fox's shoes, but Fio wants to think he'll use that golden voice of his to do voice-overs. And Kunal Nayyar--just like the writers of the show, Fiorella doesn't know what to do with Raj.  Maybe he could join Bones as an intern.

One thing Fiorella knows--whatever she predicts won't happen, just like in the Sally Forth, when what Fio thought was pregnancy turned out to be some sort of seasonal disorder.

Or did it?

Funnies

Been wondering if comic strip cartoonists have a Yahoo loop going to coordinate their themes because last Sunday, characters in Doonesbury, Luann, and Sally Forth all indicated an awareness of their existences being fictional and on public  view.  Doonesbury was the most direct, talking to readers about the strip centering more on Alex and her agemates in the future.  To tell the truth, Fio will be sad if that's the case.  She wants to keep up with the, uhm, oldsters too. 

Fiorella couldn't start her day without reading the funnies, as she's done all her life, but, sadly, her children couldn't care less, which means her comic strip friends may soon be going the way of the dodo bird.  What a loss when all the world will be playing video games in which they kill each other  rather than enjoying a clever ten minutes with the comics page .
