CBS' primetime comedy, The Big Bang Theory, is always including references to geek culture such as Twitter, World of Warcraft, Batman, the Large Hadron Collider and many, many more.
What better way to solidify your geek cred than by having one of the loveliest, nicest and most popular geek women appear on the show?
It could happen any number of ways, beginning with the easiest: Having one or more of the characters mention he watches it, or actually watching an episode on a computer, or even Howard mentioning her as someone he'd like to "meet". The character of Sheldon is originally from Texas, where Cali and her husband currently live, so Sheldon could let it slip they used to be neighbors and have the others ask to meet her. The character of Rajesh could see her at a technology conference and be terrified of speaking to her. Or, she could send a video e-mail to Howard reminding him of the restraining order. The possibilities are endless!
So, if you agree with me that one of our own should make a mark on primetime television for all the geeks of the world, send a message to executive producers Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady that we want to see Cali Lewis appear on an episode of The Big Bang Theory.

Messrs Lorre and Prady,
We the undersigned encourage you to write a guest appearance on your show, The Big Bang Theory, for a particularly popular and photogenic geek we like to call one of our own, Luria Petrucci, otherwise known by her stage name of Cali Lewis.
Ms. Lewis appears on GeekBrief, a video podcast on technology and other geek topics downloaded and viewed by millions of people. We know she is a big fan of the show, and we'd like to see her appear in a future episode. Doing this would solidify a connection with self-professed geeks everywhere, and would undoubtedly be a ratings boost for that episode.
Thank you for taking a moment to hear our request, and thank you for producing a wonderful show that shows geeks need love too.
We signed the "Cali Lewis should be on The Big Bang Theory" petition!

Hey Chuck. at least mention Geek Brief in your closing credits (you know the ones only TiVo people can read, and yes I've read every one.) But Cali is everything good about Geekness and should make an appearance on the Big Bang Theory.

Cali would be an awesome addition to tBBT. Perhaps as a friend of Penny, who could go geek-to-geek against the guys, or, even just a mention of Penny watching GeekBrief TV so that she can understand the guys better.

Cali is one of the foremost experts in the tech community and it would be wonderful if she either made an appearance or her video was spotlighted somehow. Thank you!

[ It will be great to watch an episode of The Big Bang Theory talking about Cali! I mean I'm sure for many of us she's an icon or a reference when we talk about tech.- ]

Yes, Sheldon and the gang watching an episode and then running into her at the elevator or in Penny's restraunt.

No one represents teched-out geek culture better than Cali Lewis. She is perfect for a guest shot on The Big Bang Theory.
