The Big Bang Theory

[Wilde Woman]

Happy to report that The Big Bang Theory has been renewed for three more years, bringing it into the 2016-2017 season.

This is the little show that could. When it first premiered, I was the only one I knew who was watching it. I recommended it to to others, but no one liked the premise. Well, it slowly caught on, and now there are many fans of this group of lovable nerds, and I mean that in the nicest sense of the word.

To those who didn't think it would last one season, "BAZINGA!"

Me, too! Clever writing that has stayed true to the characters! Hmmmm, wonder if we can send our Days writers for some lessons?

Loved the whole gang since the first show.

I caught on late like many others trough repeats. It was interesting to watch the original pilot and see how different the show initially intended to be. I'm so glad that they reworked it before airing.

Those with HBO: Jim Parsons (Sheldon) will be in "The Normal Heart," airing on Sunday, May 25th. I saw this wonderful play and know that this filmed version, also starring Mark Ruffalo and Julia Roberts, will be amazing.

I know I have mentioned this before, but just in case someone missed it. The writers, when naming the characters, wanted to honor a comedian/actor/writer/director/producer who was inspiration & beloved to so many in the entertainment field, and thus named two characters for the late Sheldon Leonard

Some may not have known his name, but knew his face, and was good at playing those tough guys (minor henchmen maybe) in his early movies. But then he went to producing, and more successful series than you can count. And so Jim Parsons & Johnny Galecki were named Sheldon & Leonard in his honor.

Thank you for reminding me of that, Poirot. Both Jim Parsons (Sheldon) and Johnny Galecki (Leonard) have mentioned it when on David Letterman's and Craig Ferguson's late night shows.

I didn't Know that, Poirot. Thanks for the information on Sheldon and Leonard. I did love that man, he seemed to be able to play any part they gave him and make it believable!

I have watched since day 1 as well and we usually end up watching the repeats on TBS at night. Next to Seinfeld, this is my favorite sit-com of all time.
