Kaley Cuoco Doesn't Want Big Bang Theory to End, Suggests 2020 Reboot
ADVERTISING


Much like fans of The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco also don't want the sitcom to end - even floating the idea of a reboot as early as 2020. One of the original cast members of the long-running sitcom, and the only female lead before Melissa Rauch (Bernadette) and Mayim Bialik (Amy) became regulars in season 4, the actress has played the role of Penny for 12 years and has grown attached to the part. No wonder she's having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that she'll be bidding goodbye to the series soon.

The decision to end the long-running show after this year came barely a month before season 12 premiered. Reports claim that Jim Parsons' decision to not return for another outing was what led to its cancellation, despite initial conversations about CBS wanting to order another outing. From the network's perspective, renewing The Big Bang Theory was almost a no-brainer, considering its high viewership ratings even after more than a decade. That's why they were willing to give the actors massive raises as an incentive to continue doing the series. However, contract talks fell through, with Parsons adamant that it's time to move on from his gig playing Sheldon Cooper after 12 years. Aside from him, the rest of the cast had been nothing but positive when asked regarding the future of the sitcom, most of them saying that if it was up to them, they'll continue doing the show forever, including Cuoco.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the Golden Globes red carpet, Cuoco was asked to comment about the impending end of The Big Bang Theory. Known for being outspoken, the actress admitted she doesn't want to say goodbye to the show just yet, suggesting the idea of a reboot of the sitcom in 2020 in which she'd be able to reprise her character. "Everyone's doing rebooting. We might as well do it in, like, a year. I'm fine with that," she said.


Cuoco's obviously at least partially joking, since the possibility of a reboot happening just a year from the original show wrapping up is very little to none. However, her being vocal about not wanting to leave the franchise altogether could give CBS the idea for a spinoff, perhaps revolving around Penny and Johnny Galecki's Leonard (a Young Sheldon spinoff is already a hit for the network). While it would've been so much easier to continue The Big Bang Theory without Sheldon and Amy, the show's branding is strongly associated with all seven main characters. Launching an offshoot where the premise and cast of characters are clear would be a great way for the network to continue capitalizing on the show's popularity, and allow Cuoco and some other actors to continue reprising their respective roles. But as of right now, fans will have to deal with the fact that there are only 13 more episodes before everyone's favorite nerdy gang says goodbye.

ADVERTISING
If a potential spinoff or reboot doesn't work out, those involved in crafting the final season of The Big Bang Theory have their work cut out for them in regard to wrapping up Penny's narrative. Aside from the mystery of her last name before she became a Hofstadter when she tied the knot with Leonard, her married life is currently in limbo. The couple has yet to resolve the lingering issue of whether or not to have kids, as it hasn't been specifically discussed again since it was brought up earlier this season.

At the summer TCA press tour in August, CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahlfaced a barrage of questions about the network’s culture just days after the first story about allegations of past sexual misconduct against CBS CEO Leslie Moonves came out. At the same event, Kahl also revealed that the network was in preliminary talks with Warner Bros TV about a 13th season of its biggest show, The Big Bang Theory.

A lot has changed since then. Moonves was fired after an investigation following more stories about alleged inappropriate behavior, and The Big Bang Theory producers opted to end the series after 12 seasons when co-lead Jim Parsons indicated he would not continue.

While CBS, along with a couple of other networks, is not doing do an executive session at the winter TCA, Kahl answered some programming questions, addressing the end of Big Bang Theory, possible replacements and spinoffs, as well as the fate of the Murphy Brown revival, which couldn’t quite measure up to the high expectations set by the iconic original. He also discussed the future of MacGyver, whose co-lead George Eads is leaving the series, and of Mom, whose stars don’t have new deals for next season. He also talked about the network’s big unscripted push and continuing focus on diversity and touched upon the cultural environment at CBS.

CBS
DEADLINE: Did the pending departure of Big Bang put additional pressure on your development to find a new big multi-camera hit?

KAHL: I think it’s big priority every year to find a big multi-cam that develops into a big hit. We are always looking for the “next one,” and that would be the case again this year.

DEADLINE: There has been speculation that spinoff Young Sheldonwould succeed Big Bang on the schedule next season. Have you made the decision?

KAHL: That won’t be made until May when we are doing our scheduling meetings. We are gratified to have a show doing as well as Young Sheldon but there are never any guarantees about time periods or where thing are going to end up on the schedule.

DEADLINE: Have you had conversations with Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros TV about a potential second Big Bang spinoff?

KAHL: Nothing formal. The ball is in squarely in their court. If they want to talk to us about it, we are here to listen.

DEADLINE: You have given early renewals to four freshman series. Murphy Brown was not among them. What are the odds of it coming back?

KAHL: It definitely remains in the mix for possibly returning next season, along with several other shows.

DEADLINE: Looking back at how Murphy Brown was rebooted, would you have done anything differently?

KAHL: Creator Diane [English] and Warner Bros came to us with a vision for the show. We were excited for the vision and put it on very true to what Diane wanted to do. We are very proud of the show, and as I said it remains in contention.

DEADLINE: What about MacGyver? Would it continue without George Eads?

KAHL: It’s doing terrific work for us on Friday night at 8 PM, which is a tough time slot, and certainly remains in contention for next year.

DEADLINE: And Mom? Are you optimistic that it would return for Season 7?

KAHL: We would love and expect to have Mom back.

DEADLINE: CBS made major strides in diversity last development season. Do you expect a pilot slate that is as inclusive this year?

KAHL: At the time when questioned we said that diversity was not a one-time effort, it’s an all-the-time effort. You will certainly see inclusivity in our pilots going forward from this point.

DEADLINE: CBS is making its biggest unscripted push in years this season with several new series, led by World’s Best, which premieres after the Super Bowl. What are your expectations?

KAHL: We’ve been successful with very, very long-running reality shows. We made the commitment to try and find the next generation of hits while we still have some strength in that area so the cupboard is not empty when you try find these new shows. Hopefully we can make noise and have some new franchises to put on the schedule going forward.

DEADLINE: What is the current work environment and morale at CBS?

KAHL: I don’t think it’s any secret that last year was a difficult year, and I think the company and our CEO Joe Ianniello have really redoubled their efforts to make CBS a premier place to work in our industry, and those efforts are tangible and are moving forward.
 
‘The Big Bang Theory’ Cast Gathers On ‘Ellen’, Ponders Legacy, Shares Goodbyes
by Greg Evans

January 31, 2019 7:57am



With The Big Bang Theory coming to its big bye-bye, the cast gets together for something of an early exit interview on today’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The long-running sitcom is taping its final episodes leading up to the May departure, and stars Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Mayim Biyalik, Melissa Rauch, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar took the DeGeneres to ponder the show’s legacy – and how they’re coping with the farewell.

Watch some highlights from today’s episode above and below.

In one of the clips, Cuoco recalls a recent taping with Galecki when, seemingly out of nowhere, the upcoming end hit her full force. “We were doing a scene before the holiday,” said Cuoco, describing the on-set moment. “We were just blocking, and we were the only two in it, just kind of rehearsing the scene when, out of nowhere, I just started bawling.





“And the crew, all the camera guys and everyone came out and said, ‘We’re so glad you cried because we’ve been waiting to cry’ and they all gave us this big group hug.”

Parsons tell Degeneres and her audience that he hasn’t followed suit – yet – but that he has “a very deep fear” the day is coming when he will “absolutely lose my sh*t.”

In another clip, Biyalik talks about the comedy’s positive impact on promoting science, especially by inspiring kids.

‘It feels especially impactful that not only can we bring people joy and make them laugh, but we are also putting a different face on science and on scientists,” Biyalik said. Galecki concurred, mentioning the 30 or so UCLA scholars benefiting from scholarship money from the show.

Said Galecki, “Inspiring people that are literally molding our culture and our future…I’m just a theater rat, so that’s very cool.” (That’s included in the clip above).

And finally, Ellen wouldn’t be Ellen without yet another game of some sort, so this time around the show has created one titled, naturally enough, Big Bang, combining trivia questions and balloons inflated to the banging point.

No spoilers, so check out the game here:


The Big Bang Theory airs Thursday at 8/7c PM on CBS. Check local listings for today’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
 
The Big Bang Theory’: Behind The Sudden Decision To End Series After 12 Seasons

CBS

It was a typical morning for everyone working on The Big Bang Theory on Wednesday until the entire cast was summoned to co-creator/executive producer Chuck Lorre’s office after the table read with no advance notice and no agenda. Many people on the show felt it might have been a meeting to discuss a possible 13th season, as CBS had started talks with producer Warner Bros TV about anther two-season pickup, though the actors had not yet been approached by the studio for new deals.

Instead, I hear Lorre gave the floor to star Jim Parsons, who made a tearful announcement that he would not be continuing on the series beyond the upcoming 12th season. With the entire room still reeling from the shock, I hear Lorre revealed that the series too would end with Season 12.

md-icon-volume-off.svg



Yesterday was a very emotional day in the offices of The Big Bang Theory, with cast and crew hanging out and hugging each other. “It’s family over there,” one insider said about the team that had been together for many, many years.

That’s why Lorre made the decision not to continue with the show unless all key auspices were coming back. Parsons is one of the series’ “big three,” along with Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco. Lorre had publicly said he would not do the series without any of the original three leads. Additionally, Parsons’ character on Big Bang, Sheldon Cooper, is at the center of the Big Bang prequel series Young Sheldon, which the actor executive produces and does voice over for.

I hear Parsons informed Lorre about his decision to leave after the end of the season on Friday, when I hear renewal talks with CBS were still ongoing. I hear there were efforts over the weekend to persuade him to change his mind, which were unsuccessful.

Parsons has been actively doing theater and movies while on Big Bang over the past few years, with the production accommodating him. Because the series had been going for so long — according to Warner Bros TV, Big Bang will become the longest-running multi-camera series in television history with 279 episodes — it is a well-oiled machine, with the cast working 3.5 days a week during production. Still, I hear Parsons was ready to move on.

This morning, Parsons, a four-time Emmy winner for his role on Big Bang, posted a lengthy and emotional message on Instagram.

“It is hard (really impossible, actually) to really accept that this is a picture of the first of the final 24 episodes we will shoot for The Big Bang Theory,” he wrote before expressing “intense gratitude” toward the crew, the writers and his castmates. “I will miss all of you and all of this more than I can say and more than I can know at this time.” (Read his full note under the post.)

The entire cast’s current contracts — paying the five original cast member around $1 million an episode — are up after the current Season 12, so all had to sign new ones in order to return.

That is how, in the span of two weeks, we went from CBS executives being confident that “we don’t believe it’s the final season,” having already started renewal discussions with WBTV, to yesterday’s surprise announcement that Big Bang, the most watched series on television, is coming to an end.

“We are forever grateful to our fans for their support of The Big Bang Theory during the past twelve seasons. We, along with the cast, writers and crew, are extremely appreciative of the show’s success and aim to deliver a final season, and series finale, that will bring The Big Bang Theory to an epic creative close,” WBTV, CBS and Chuck Lorre Productions said in the joint statement.
 
5 Reasons Why Big Bang Theory Is Racist
Posted On 11th September, 2013 @ 13:03 pm by MTV Editor
There we said it. Much adored it may be, but The Big Bang Theory is racist, to the point of reawakening some of the older colonial ghosts, and the day they get through a season without calling us an uncouth lot is the day they can boast about their Indian connection.

And though these characters are the first to poke fun at themselves, there come those times when funny pushes its boundaries to step into pure crass territory.
In an industry where sitcoms are worth a dime a dozen, The Big Bang Theory sits prettily at the top of the food chart, with a cushy fan base of six million loyally tuning in every week. And though the Indian populace has done its fair bit to contribute to that number, TBBT’s idea of endearing itself to the Indian masses is by regularly reinforcing just how backward India, as a country, is.

That probably wasn't easy to read, but it had to be said. Casting an Indian in a lead role in a sitcom is the kind of stuff that myths are made of, so when Kunal Nayyar landed the role of a geeky scientist in Big Bang Theory, we whooped, we danced and we sobered up just as quickly once we got an earful of the racist wisecracks thrown his way.

Bear in mind that we have nothing against the show, and that there doesn't exist a single sitcom fan worth his salt who hasn't giggled at Sheldon's social ineptness at least once. And though these characters are the first to poke fun at themselves, there come those times when funny pushes its boundaries to step into pure crass territory. You don't have to take our word on it; we hunted down five of the most racist barbs that are gift wrapped and passed off as funny:

1. Sheldon: Because in our little group I am the smart one, Wolowitz is the funny one, and Koothrappali is the foreigner who tries to understand our culture and fails.
No matter how successful you get, Indians are always the outsiders, the also-rans. Then again, this might just be Sheldon's superiority complex speaking so maybe we can let this one pass.

2. Raj: I don't want to go back to India! It's hot, and it's loud, and there are so many people! You have no idea -- they're everywhere.
And here we have it! The man himself admitting the many hardships India has inflicted on him by not being spacious enough for his standards.

3. Amy: Do you know the story of Catherine the Great?
Penny: No
Amy: She ruled Russia in the 1700’s and one night when she was feeling particularly randy she used an intricate system of pulleys to have intimate relations with a horse.
Penny: I’m sorry, what does this have to do with me?
Amy: She engaged in inter-species hanky panky and people still call her great. I’m sure your reputation can survive you shagging a little Indian boy.
So now we have sleeping with Indian men being compared to bestiality. Does this get any worse?

4. Raj: As your friend, you might want to know that we didn’t have sex in the conventional sense.
Penny: Oh God, did you pull some weird Indian crap on me?
Apparently, it does. Raj may be the stereotypical brown guy with an exotic accent, crippled by his inability to speak to women and trying to escape the arranged marriages foisted on him by his bossy parents, but thou haven't witnessed the worst yet:

5. Leonard: I think it upsets Sheldon when you play with the food.
Sheldon: No. It upsets Sheldon when she willy-nilly takes it from the containers without regard for its equitable distribution. Raj, this is essentially why you have famine in India.

Sheldon may be God's gift to mankind, but stereotypical, much?

Never watched it. No black cast members = no interest from me.

Wow come to find out..

they NEVER referneced Black Panther...

hmmm

UPDATE...

https://ew.com/recap/the-big-bang-theory-season-11-episode-21/

they finally did

He complains to Amy, using Black Panther as an example to further explain his plight. To Sheldon, the Comic Center is like the country of Wakanda. It’s a hidden gem. If that world is opened to just anyone, it won’t be special anymore. The analogy makes sense until Sheldon starts complaining about Denise. Excuse me, Dr. Cooper, but I think the women of Wakanda make that place special. I’m sure Denise will have the same effect on the store.

Indian tears? Man, if they don't get that bullshit the entire fuck out of here. Indians are some of the most racist people I've encountered in Ohio. Yeah, I said Ohio. Let that sink in. Ohio. If the show were accurate, Raj would be the most racist character.
 

A scientist once discovered uranium on the set of The Big Bang Theory

"I'm going to put this in a lead box and take it away now."
By Keith LangstonSeptember 25, 2022 at 10:00 AM EDT

Turns out it wasn't just an active set... but a radioactive one.
The Big Bang Theory was known for its inclusion of science, often incorporating real math and scientific principles into the episodes. Many scientists even say the series helped make subjects like physics and astronomy cool.
It became so famous in the scientific community that many notable figures stopped by the sitcom's set. Bill Nye, Stephen Hawking, George Smoot, and Steve Wozniak are just a few who wound up having cameo appearances on the show.
"Steve (Wozniak) actually came back and visited like five more times after he filmed his episode," co-creator Chuck Lorre said while chatting with EW for the show's 15th anniversary. "He'd just come by and hang out."

In addition to those who made their way on-camera, many others paid a visit to the studio just to check it out. During one shoot, a famed physicist stopped by... and noticed something a little peculiar. "One day this super famous physicist was visiting," co-creator Bill Prady says. "We're doing the set tour we always give after taping because everyone wants to get their picture taken in Sheldon's spot."
During the tour, the physicist noticed one of the props in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. Prady says, "People always ask what that thing on the wall post was, it was this wooden box that was actually an antique Geiger counter. The physicist looks at it and goes, 'That's an old Geiger counter.'" (A Geiger counter is a device used to detect radiation).

It turns out the Geiger counter was more than just a unique prop. "'You know,'" Prady remembers the scientist saying, "'those old Geiger counters often had a piece of uranium in them which was used to calibrate them, before people realized that's a stupid idea. I wonder if there's uranium in that.'"
As if it were a scene taken straight from a Big Bang episode, the scientist just so happened to have a working Geiger counter in the trunk of his car. "He went out and grabbed it," Prady says, "and came back in with it, and brought it over to the set and, of course, the thing starts going off and making noises. He opened [the prop] up and said, 'I'm going to put this in a lead box and take it away now,' and then he removed a piece of uranium from the Geiger counter and left!"
"It's sorta like a class-action suit waiting to happen," Lorre says with a laugh. "I can see some law firm with a commercial on CNN saying 'Were you or a loved one ever on the set of The Big Bang Theory?'"
Fortunately, according to the CDC, uranium is much less toxic than other radioactive materials, with much of the danger coming from inhaling it in large quantities, so it's doubtful that it affected any of the cast or crew.
 

The Big Bang Theory creators would love a revival... but there's a catch

"Would I like to stand on a stage someplace and watch those characters again? Yes, absolutely," co-creator Bill Prady tells EW.
By Keith LangstonSeptember 24, 2022 at 10:00 AM EDT

It all started with a big bang... but is it definitely over?
While speaking with EW for the show's 15th anniversary, The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady revealed that he'd love to see the cast back together... he just doesn't know how to make it happen.
"I know that people do get characters together for reunions and things like that," Prady says. "But It's hard to imagine what you would see after the finale because I found the finale was just one of the most beautiful and satisfying episodes. The closure it brought was astonishing. It's hard to imagine reopening the story."
Co-creator Chuck Lorre agrees. "I don't think we left anything undone," he says. "That was as close to a perfect finale as we could have ever dreamt of doing. I loved it."

But Prady admits that, despite not knowing how to make it happen, he'd love to see it come together. "Would I like to stand on a stage someplace and watch those characters again? Yes, absolutely. Can I imagine a way to do it? I can't. But, personally, would l like to go to Stage 25 and see that set and those costumes and those people? Yeah, I get choked up just thinking about it. But I don't know how we'd do that."
So, if a revival were to happen, what might it look like? Since the show ended in 2019, the world has been through a lot and all the Big Bang characters would surely have tons to say. "Sheldon [Jim Parsons] would have loved the pandemic," Lorre says. "Being able to stay at home and not deal with the world? He would have thought it was perfect."

"And he would have loved it because people would have had to listen to him," Prady adds. "He's a person who knows about germs… and all of the sudden, now the focus of the entire world is on people who know things like that. But, also, Bernadette [Melissa Rauch] is a microbiologist and works with people who probably know things, so I can imagine she and Sheldon would probably argue about that. I can already hear her scream, 'Don't tell me about my job!'"
As a germaphobe, Sheldon would likely be donning some fashionable COVID-friendly attire as well. "We would have done two seasons with Sheldon in a hazmat suit," Lorre says jokingly. "Absolutely," Prady adds, "Like the John Travolta Boy in the Bubble movie!"

If a revival doesn't work out, there's always the option of a reunion. Speaking to Varietyearlier this year, Kaley Cuoco said that after watching the Friends reunion, she'd love to make something similar happen for The Big Bang Theory, telling the publication, "I would love to do that one day. I would love to do that with our show."
Only time will tell if there's ever going to be a Big Bang reunion or revival. But given how popular the show is, the rich life it's continually had in syndication, and the fact that the creators are open to the idea... we're holding out hope that one day we'll be able to see the gang back together, eating takeout in Leonard's apartment, possibly in hazmat suits.
