The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory is a cult sitcom that is available on the CBS channel in the United States. The most-watched product of Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly), who also exec produced the series alongside Steven Molaro, The Big Bang Theory comes from the production studios Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. and Warner Bros. Television. The hilarious and award-winning sitcom came out on September 24, 2007 and since that time it has spread throughout the globe.

The storyline of the sitcom is set in Pasadena and follows a company of brilliant scientists and their immediate circle. Leonard Hofstadter, Sheldon Cooper, Howard Wolowitz and Raj Koothrappali are four geeks and best friends, who like to waste time in the local comics shop. Since Leonard fell in love with their beautiful but rough neighbor Penny and Raj acquired an ability to speak with women being sober, things in the company changed greatly. Now the millions of fans follow Sheldon being more social (unbelievable, isn’t it?) and Howard finally growing up.

The Big Bang Theory has become a smash hit quickly after its debut and is still in a roll, as season 9, for example, attracted about 18 million viewers, which is exceptional. More than 60 awards and 220 nominations prove the fact that The Big Bang Theory is the best sitcom ever shown on the screen. And we sincerely hope it will live long!
