"The Big Bang Theory," created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007, and concluded on May 16, 2019, after broadcasting 279 episodes over 12 seasons. The show, set in Pasadena, California, initially centered around five main characters:
Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) - A physicist at Caltech who shares an apartment with Sheldon.
Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) - Leonard's roommate, also a physicist at Caltech, known for his strict adherence to routines and lack of social skills.
Penny (Kaley Cuoco) - A waitress and aspiring actress living across the hall from Leonard and Sheldon.
Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) - An aerospace engineer and friend of Leonard and Sheldon.
Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) - An astrophysicist and another close friend of Leonard and Sheldon, known for his selective mutism around women early in the series.
As the show progressed, additional characters were introduced and eventually became central to the storyline:
Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) - A neuroscientist who becomes Sheldon's girlfriend and later his wife.
Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) - A microbiologist who marries Howard.
Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) - The owner of a comic book store frequented by the main characters.
"The Big Bang Theory" was filmed in front of a live audience and produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. The show achieved great success, reaching the no. 1 spot in its eleventh season. It was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series from 2011 to 2014 and won seven Emmy Awards out of 46 nominations. Jim Parsons, who portrayed Sheldon, won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series four times and the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Comedy Series in 2011.
In 2017, the series inspired a prequel, "Young Sheldon," which focuses on the early life of Sheldon Cooper and also airs on CBS.
