I think they should save that for season 23. We still have Raj and Stuart to marry off and Mark Hamill has a very busy schedule.

And even then would be too soon.

Also, in addition to his very busy schedule Hamill still has to keep a watchful eye on Bark, the wander dog.

Amy is already in a show that has been accused of being racist and sexist from the beginning and has the Youtube clips to prove it. What the show needs is for anyone who was on LHOTP to do a guest role.

Also Einstein is a newly discovered racist. What would Sheldon say ?

So many people were racist back in the 1800s and 1700s and 1600s and before... Thank Ghod we're sufficiently enlightened now to ignore all of those old dead white men. grin Now we can let the teenagers who know everything, run the world!

How would that serve? Considering the time the show aired, can't help but think that it would have been thoroughly sanitized of any such untoward references.

Knixon was referring to the books and the current trend for some people to point out and complain about un pc stuff.

As for the television show Sheldon already told Amy what was wrong with it including the Ingalls squatting on native land and eating peanut butter which was not invented yet.

And the telephone thing.

But yes, those were all in the TV series. The books were far less PC.

(People did a lot of squatting back then. Even if they built an outhouse.)
