Emmy-nominated Jim Parsons isn't the only bright star on this increasingly popular sitcom. Tonight's lark lets Simon Helberg work his goofy, low-key charms as the continuously girl-vexed Wolowitz. Seems the engineering whiz is concerned that his new girlfriend (Melissa Rauch) can’t match up to his female ideal: Battlestar Galactica goddess Katee Sackhoff (who appears in a cute dream sequence). Chalk it up as a slight but pleasing effort. (CBS, 9:30 P.M.)
