Memorable Line:
“The obvious thing that I would love to see at some point is some sort of relationship, even a friendship that calls some emotion to the forefront.” says Parsons. “I don’t think it will happen this year.”
Mood of the Masses:
"Making a character who has so many annoying quirks lovable is a testament to his acting ability. He brings humanity to what could be a robotic character if not played well. I know people who are similar to Sheldon and they are lovable. It's nice to see a portrayal that is so spot on." (Ann Morris)

Memorable Lines:
Week after week from August through April, Mr. Lorre, 56, beats a path between the two sets [BBT/TAAHM], their respective writers’ rooms and editing bays, overseeing details as small as the color of one character’s blazer and the print on a beach towel.
“I think Chuck has come to appreciate — as much as those of us who believe in him — just how good he is,” said Peter Roth, president of Warner Brothers Television.
This summer “The Big Bang Theory,” with its gentler, less racy story lines, continued to build its audience, which totaled about 10 million a week last season. ... "clearly ‘Big Bang Theory’ is absolutely on the right trajectory in the ratings to be a tremendous hit.” (Leslie Moonves, chief executive, CBS)
Mr. Lorre said he knew from the beginning of “Big Bang” that he had underwritten the character of Penny, the eye candy next door played by Kaley Cuoco. Last season her intellectual strengths and emotional vulnerabilities gained depth, and the belly shirts and short shorts of the early days often gave way to sweatpants and T-shirts.

*The show is incredibly popular. As a geek myself, I get it. But what do you think it is about this show that gives it such a wide appeal?
Well, I think that everybody is kind of a nerd at heart. We're all nerds, and this show kind of calls that out. It's fun to root for the underdog, which I think our show is really about, these outsiders. And I think people, in general, grow up thinking there's this pocket of nerds and this pocket of really cool people. But when everyone goes home, they're all kind of nerdy. This has become a place to kind of feel like you're not alone with your geekiness. And it's just quick and funny and colorful...but on a psychological level it's touched some nerve with people's inner-nerdiness.

Memorable Line:
JG: I think the show is really about how passionate people get, and these characters happen to be passionate about science. I do hear that a lot. People come up to me and say, "My husband is just like that with baseball." It's that one thing that you're passionate about, that you end up developing tunnel vision for and everything else tends to fall by the wayside. Passion is appealing and universal.

Memorable Lines:
“What we all liked was the relationship between these two guys [Leonard and Sheldon], one who wants his world to be bigger and the other who wants his world to be smaller,” Mr. Prady said.
...Mr. Galecki said, “It went from a show that I think may have made fun of intelligent people half of the time to a show that defends intelligent people 99 percent of the time.”
[Jim Parsons]: “I feel like there’s still a strong segment out there that may not be sold on the concept of four nerds and the pretty girl next door,” he said. “I get that. I think there’s a lot more going on that doesn’t really fit in that description. It really doesn’t tell you 10 percent of why you would be interested, truly.”
