About The Big Bang Theory

Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) are brilliant physicists, the kind of “beautiful minds” that understand how the universe works. But, none of that genius helps them interact with people, especially women. All this begins to change when a free-spirited beauty named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moves in next door. Sheldon, Leonard’s roommate, is quite content spending his nights playing Klingon Boggle with their socially dysfunctional friends, fellow Caltech scientists Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyer). However, Leonard sees in Penny a whole new universe of possibilities … including love.

Throughout its impressive run, The Big Bang Theory was nominated for an astonishing 55 Emmy® Awards and won 10. The series was also honored with a Television Critics Association Award, People’s Choice and Teen Choice Awards, and recognition from the AFI and Humanitas organizations. The Big Bang Theory premiered in 2007 and aired 279 episodes spanning 12 seasons.

The Big Bang Theory was produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady were co-creators/executive producers/head writers. Steven Molaro, Lee Aronsohn, Eric Kaplan, Maria Ferrari, Dave Goetsch, and Steve Holland have also served as executive producers on the series. The series is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television.
