Was tonight's The Big Bang Theory ("The 21-Second Excitation", featuring the slumber party) the first episode of the series to pass the Bechdel Test?

Hmm. Trying to recall if Leonard's mother and Penny talked about anything other than Penny's father, Leonard, or the issues between the two senior Doctors Hofstader.

On the other hand, I did note that tonight had Mayim Bialek (Amy) and Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) both in the "Starring" credits. But then, Sara Gilbert (Leslie Winkle) got that for a couple of episodes before effectively disappearing from the show so who knows.

I believe you're right -- how sexist is it of me to not even notice this fact until you pointed it out?

That's the point of questions like the Bechdel Test--to help us notice patterns that we wouldn't otherwise.
