This isn't a good episode.
Yes, the Pictionary scene is very funny indeed, but that's just one scene out of a whole episode.
The rest I'm afraid to say isn't very good. We've seen a 'Sheldon gets into a contest' episode not so long ago in series five, so trying to repeat the trick (and that wasn't a very good episode either!) so soon after doesn't really work.
I know that the show was producing twenty-four episodes a year and that they can't all be winners, but other than that scene the quality felt lower here.
There was a 'Howard returning from space' storyline, but it was so weak it doesn't really prove worth mentioning.
