The T:TSCC-fandom appears to be coming from all angles these days, the show was featured in the opening dialog of the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory yesterday!

A Fox-show getting promotion from CBS? Unexpected, but very welcome. I guess this just goes to show exactly how big a boost T:TSCC has given the Terminator-fandom. Or at least how big a boost Cameron has given it.

The dialog went as follows:
(Scene opens to Leonard pushing open the door to the building and entering.)
Leonard: No see, the liquid metal terminators were created in the future by Skynet, and Skynet was developed by Miles Dyson, but that future is no longer exists, due to Dyson’s death in Terminator 2.
Shelldon: Ok, then riddle me this, assuming all the good terminators were originally evil Terminators created by Skynet, but then re-programmed by the future John Connor, why would Skynet, an artificial computer intelligence bother to create a petite, hot seventeen year old killer robot?
Leonard: (Thinks) Skynet is kinky? I don’t know.
Shelldon: (Taking his question very seriously) Artificial intelligences do not have teen fetishes.
Leonard: Oh, wait, they use it to -
Shelldon: (Cuts him off) Wrong. Too late, I win.

Yes, there was also a Batman-reference in there.
For those not familiar with the Big Bang Theory, it is a sitcom about four ‘nerds’ and one ‘hot girl’ and the relationship between two such different worlds. The ‘nerds’ often talk about sci-fi-fandoms, namely Star Wars, but this is the first mention of the Terminator-fandom.
