Anybody Else Find It Odd That Penny's Last Name is Unknown on 'The Big Bang Theory?' - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

While browsing around this board, I came upon this old thread. I wonder if Penny's last name is Nichols?

I find it odd that Penny would give 2 seconds to any of these egotistical child like characters who while they can be considered a genius, mentally in relationships they are 10 years old.
(But then on 3's company they never had sex, yet here all of them seem to, some quite often).

In real life, wouldn't Penny be so out of reach for them? (at least in her own mind). Of course, this being a show directed/produced by you know who, of course that little fact is overlooked, but it is highly unlikely nor typical of real life
(as all his shows are).

(As if Penny were say Marilyn Monroe. Would Marilyn have given Sheldon or Leonard or any of them the time of day?)

Penny is nothing special, she's blonde and that's about it for what makes her attractive. Other than that, she's a hot mess.

It's a sitcom, not a documentary.

The most unrealistic thing about this show is an attractive woman chatting 3 nerds who live across the hall

In real life she would not say one word to any of them lol

If you freeze-frame on any of the mail in her apartment, none of that reveals her surname either. I like that they're not making a thing of it, unlike that dumbass neighbour on "Home Improvement".

I bet her last name is Pinscher.

If we ever find out, I have a feeling it won't be until the final episode or when she and Leonard get married, whichever comes first.
