When we first meet Penny, the bubbly blonde on "The Big Bang Theory" played by Kaley Cuoco who lives across the hall from bonafide nerds Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), she's an aspiring actress working at The Cheesecake Factory in Pasadena, where the show is set. As a result, Sheldon, Leonard, and their buddies Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) and Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) actually end up eating at The Cheesecake Factory a lot. So did the people making the show ask permission to use the famous American chain on the series? No, they did not!

A 2012 article in the Minnesota Star Tribune clarified the whole thing, saying that a spokeswoman for the chain confirmed the show did not participate in any conversations with the series. "The Cheesecake Factory does not have any sort of arrangements with the show," the spokeswoman said at the time before praising the show.

A lawsuit filed on Sunday accused Jay-Z of r*ping a 13-year-old girl, with none other than Sean Combs allegedly involved as well. The details are horrifying, to say the least. And while Jay-Z has firmly denied these charges, claiming they’re part of a blackmail scheme, the gravity of the situation cannot be ignored.

Now, let’s take a step back to September 2024, when Nicki Minaj stirred the pot in her own right. The topic? Her involvement—or alleged lack thereof—in the 2021 sale of Tidal, the streaming service co-owned by Jay-Z.

A heated back-and-forth erupted when record executive Steve Stoute accused Minaj of being handed equity in the platform before its sale, only to drop the ball by not signing the paperwork. He was adamant that she missed out on millions because of this oversight,...

The Big Bang Theory has had its roots in fandom from the start. Be it Sheldon’s colorful shirts or Howard’s belt buckles, the series is just as centric in nerd culture as it is in science. Every single episode of the series possesses multiple references to some form of nerd media, be it comics, shows, movies, or books that exist within the science-fiction genre.

With this, one would imagine it to be the perfect representation of the culture that it embodies. However, a few moments of thinking make it evidently clear that the people it is trying to represent are the ones it constantly insults.

Fans of "The Big Bang Theory" know and love Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz — played by Melissa Rauch — and if you know one thing about Bernadette, it's that she has a comically, borderline cartoonishly high-pitched voice. Rauch, who's quite short, uses her voice to create a character that feels larger than life despite her diminutive stature, and it totally works. Even though she feels almost non-threatening at first, Bernadette basically uses her voice as a weapon, keeping her husband Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) in line and forging a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. So how did Rauch come up with it? She used her mother, who's from New Jersey, as inspiration during her audition.

As Rauch told her co-star Mayim Bialik — who played Bernadette's friend Amy Farrah Fowler on the series — on Bialik's podcast "Bialik Breakdown" in 2023, she came up with the...

Dreaming of a Young Penny spinoff? Hate to break it to you, folks, but it’s never going to happen — and Kaley Cuoco low-key already beat us to it. While The Big Bang Theory had us rooting for Leonard and Sheldon’s quirks, Penny brought the heart and hilarity. But the idea of a spin-off focused on her pre-Pasadena days? That ship sailed faster than Penny running out of wine.

Turns out, Cuoco’s already given us a sneak peek into her young Penny energy with a chaotic, unpredictable vibe. So, if you’re holding out for Penny’s Nebraska misadventures, it’s time to accept the truth. Cuoco’s already delivered the goods — just not in the way anyone expected.

While The Big Bang Theory prominently focuses on the lives of the central group of the sitcom, several supporting characters have also made a lasting impact. Among them is Denise, played by Lauren Lapkus, whose charm and humor have made her a fan favorite despite her limited time on the show.

As new reports of the character potentially getting a new spin-off alongside Kevin Sussman’s Stuart appear, fans have been reflecting on the untapped potential of the character, as they discuss how the showrunners overlooked Denise and continued to prioritize lead characters like Penny.

Fans Discuss the Untapped Potential of Lauren Lapkus’ Beloved The Big Bang Theory Character

Emma Thompson’s hit family film Nanny McPhee will be adapted for the West End stage in 2026.

While Emma Thompson has had a phenomenally successful career as an actor – we’re just coming up to the time of year where people watch her character cry to a Joni Mitchell song in Love Actually – she has arguably had just as much success behind the camera, winning an Oscar for her screenplay for Ang Lee’s 1995 big screen version of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.

In 2005, she wrote and starred in Nanny McPhee, a fun family film based on the Nurse Matilda character by Christianna Brand. It follows a group of unruly kids who are put right by Thompson’s titular nanny, who uses her magic walking stick to teach life lessons. The sequel, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, arrived in 2010, this time set during the Second World War.

Throughout Chuck Lorre’s The Big Bang Theory‘s 12-season run, fans were eager to learn about Penny’s maiden name, which was never unveiled. While this would end up becoming a running bit in the latter seasons, interestingly, the writers did once consider revealing her last name in the finale.

For the finale, which wrapped up Tbbt‘s years-long dominance on TV, the writers originally planned to disclose Penny’s maiden name, but apparently, the showrunner suspended the idea out of one concern.

Who knew The Big Bang Theory could trip up one of its smartest characters so badly? Amy Farrah Fowler, the brilliant scientist we all loved for her quirky charm, got hit with a storyline that made fans do a double take. In one unforgettable episode, her brainy, lovable persona took a bizarre detour into backstabbing territory.

It was like watching someone replace her lab coat with a shady agenda. Amy went from the heart of nerdy hilarity to a character pulling moves that didn’t add up—literally!

The Big Bang Theory had its fair share of epic guest stars, but none quite as ironic as Elon Musk. When the tech billionaire waltzed into a soup kitchen with Howard, he was a prime addition to the nerdy sitcom. But, as the episode unfolded, fans caught an eyebrow-raising subplot: one of the guys gets a little too curious about Penny’s life, breaching her privacy in a way that Musk himself would probably roast online.

It’s like the show served up a double helping of irony on a silver platter—privacy concerns, tech moguls, and all the juicy drama of roommate snooping. In true Big Bang fashion, it was a moment where reality hilariously collided with fiction!

Shah Rukh Khan’s character in Mani Ratnam’s romantic thriller Dil Se (1998) wasn’t supposed to die, and it wasn’t in the original script. The film’s lead heroine, Manisha Koirala, revealed this.

In the film, Manisha Koirala plays a female terrorist, and in the end, her character dies in a suicide bombing along with Shah Rukh Khan. However, in a recent interview with a news agency, Ani, the Dil Se actress revealed that Shah Rukh Khan’s character wasn’t supposed to die. Per the original script, only her character was supposed to be dead in the end.

“In the original script that we had agreed on, the cause was larger than love for both the characters. In the original version, he lets her die,...

In the many sitcoms that have graced the TV screen over the years, few have left a lasting impact quite like The Big Bang Theory. Throughout its 12 seasons, the sitcom gave its audience a perfect blend of quirky humor, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable characters.

Among several of its standout episodes, one particular scene encapsulates everything fans loved about the show and why they miss it so much today. With Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki at their comedic best, the particular scene from Season 4 Episode 6 proves why the show remains a fan favorite as it depicts their characters in their absolute prime.

Chuck Lorre always feared Young Sheldon might flop, dragging down the beloved legacy of The Big Bang Theory. When he first launched the spin-off, he worried audiences wouldn’t take to the show’s nostalgic charm or Sheldon’s backstory. After all, prequels can be risky—especially when they’re expanding on an iconic character like Sheldon Cooper.

But as the episodes rolled on, that dreaded scenario never came close. Young Sheldon held its own, bringing in fans and even deepening Big Bang’s world. Lorre’s worst nightmare? Never saw the light of day. Instead, Young Sheldon became a hit all on its own.

Before her tenure in The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco was notable for her stint in 8 Simple Rules, in which she starred opposite sitcom icon John Ritter, who played Cuoco’s onscreen father Paul. However, their bond wasn’t confined to their gigs on the show, as Cuoco has continued to gush about her time with the actor, who tragically passed away in 2003.

Although her connection with Ritter would come in handy during one guest star’s appearance in The Big Bang Theory, Cuoco wasn’t the lone Tbbt cast that shared a personal bond with the TV legend.

Before the two met on the set of the Chuck Lorre-led show, it seems Kaley Cuoco and Simon Helberg had already met once, courtesy of John Ritter.

Imagine wowing Chuck Lorre so hard he thinks, there’s no way this can happen twice. That’s exactly what one Big Bang Theory star did when they brought such electric, over-the-top energy to their audition, Lorre was convinced it might just be a lucky fluke. This was no small feat—Lorre’s seen his fair share of Hollywood hopefuls, after all!

But this actor had everyone glued to the screen, with a one-of-a-kind charm that couldn’t be taught or faked. The big question on Lorre’s mind? Could lightning strike twice, or would this stellar performance vanish under the pressure? Let’s just say, once cameras started rolling, he got his answer in the most epic way possible.

Squid Game is a South Korean series that became a global phenomenon shortly after its release, and it broke multiple records. Its razor-sharp social commentary and the brutal setting of a survival game caught the attention of audiences worldwide who simply couldn’t get enough of the series. The show didn’t just entertain the masses during the lockdown, it made people rethink social hierarchies and the desperation bred by inequality.

So, as soon as Netflix announced the second season, fans were all in! They once again wanted to experience the hungry and twisted game with high stakes. Moreover, the confirmation of Choi Seung-Hyun, aka T.O.P from Big Bang joining the cast was another pleasant surprise. The creators have taken it up a notch by casting him as a villain, or so it seems from the recent trailer drop,...

Why The Big Bang Theory’s Elevator Stayed Broken for 12 Seasons (Photo Credit – Amazon Prime Video)

If you ever tuned into The Big Bang Theory, you knew about the infamous broken elevator in Leonard, Sheldon, and Penny’s apartment building. This quirky gag became a cornerstone of the show, with fans cheering when the doors finally opened in the series finale. But this seemingly simple joke was anything but trivial. It was a clever storytelling device, shaping character dynamics and plot development throughout twelve seasons.

From the get-go, the broken elevator defined vital character traits in quick and digestible ways for audiences. Leonard’s frequent treks up the stairs highlighted his struggles, revealing his asthma and lack of athleticism. This struggle transformed him into the quintessential nerd—a perfect foil for Penny, who initially only dated jocks. Their contrasting backgrounds emphasized the uphill battle Leonard faced in winning her affection.

When you dive into the messy world of Game of Thrones, Cersei Lannister stands out as one complicated character. Sure, she’s labeled as a villain on the Inconsistently Heinous Wiki, and for good reason—she’s done some seriously nasty stuff. But let’s peel back the layers.

Cersei’s love for her kids? Fierce and downright obsessive. After that creepy prophecy from Maggy the Frog about losing them, her paranoia hit overdrive. I mean, who wouldn’t freak out? Watching Joffrey meet a gruesome end only deepened her fear. That moment when she mourned him by his corpse? It revealed cracks in her icy facade, showing her world’s shattered.

And let’s not forget her upbringing under Tyrion Lannister’s iron grip. Growing up in a brutal,...

They say life imitates art. But you know what? Sometimes, it’s the other way around! In the Big Bang Theory episode “The Confirmation Polarization,” Sheldon and Amy got some mind-blowing news. Scientists at Fermilab have confirmed their theory of super Asymmetry. Researchers were studying kaons, a type of subatomic particle, and their findings initially contradicted established predictions. However, Amy and Sheldon’s paper came to the rescue, bridging the gap and explaining the mystery.

As the plot thickened, the Fermilab scientists eyed a Nobel Prize. The twist? Only three could snag the coveted award. They plotted to cut Amy out of the nomination, leaving Sheldon in a moral quandary. He declared that he didn’t want the nomination if Amy was omitted. Classic Sheldon, right? The episode wrapped up unresolvedly, leaving fans buzzing about the realities behind this science fiction.

"The Big Bang Theory" officially concluded in 2019 after 12 years and the same number of seasons — but will it ever get another season? Why didn't it keep going? Here's the real reason.

According to Jessica Radloff's book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series," Warner Bros. released a statement in 2018 confirming that the show would end after its twelfth season ... despite the fact that, as Radloff wrote, other outlets had all but confirmed season 13. Ultimately, fans learned that Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon Cooper throughout the entire series, wanted to leave "The Big Bang Theory" behind despite apparent shock and anger from his coworkers like Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco. So, what happened here?!

It was true: Parsons decided that, both personally and professionally, he didn't want to play Sheldon Cooper for another season...

While the prospect of Penny and Sheldon’s return is thrilling, there’s another character fans have been eager to see in a spin-off: Missy Cooper, who first appeared in the original series and was further developed in the spin-off, Young Sheldon.

Kaley Cuoco And Jim Parsons Stance on Reprising Their Big Bang Theory Roles

Both Kaley Cuoco and Jim Parsons have recently reflected on reprising their roles as Penny and Sheldon Cooper. Cuoco expressed her enthusiasm, stating she would be “100%” ready to play Penny again.

Meanwhile, Parsons took a more reserved stance, saying he would “never say never to anything” when asked about making a cameo.

The Big Bang Theory can easily be a fan favorite with its sarcasm-filled and science-infused storylines. The beloved sitcom ruled the CBS screens from 2007 to 2019 and focused on four socially awkward scientists and their quirky neighbor Penny. The fans of the sitcom know almost everything about their favorite stars. However, their height has always been a point of discussion amongst the viewers.

While Jim Parsons, as part of the main cast, can easily give others a height complex, there are other characters who are even taller than he is. Let’s take a closer look at the cast of the show and assess each character’s height, from the shortest to the tallest.

The Big Bang Theory wasn’t just a sitcom; it was a cultural phenomenon that shaped nerd culture. But this one character? Well, they were a whole different kind of phenomenon—more like a black hole of bad behavior. Selfish, manipulative, arrogant—the list goes on. This character spent years getting under our skin, pushing every button, and stirring chaos in ways that were borderline unforgivable.

And yet, when the series finale rolled around, what did they get? A neat bow of forgiveness. We felt robbed! It’s like the writers handed them a get-out-of-jail-free card instead of the cosmic karma they truly earned. And honestly, they deserved a much worse send-off.

When you think of "The Big Bang Theory," you probably think of a few identifying things. "Nerds." A laugh track. The made-up word "Bazinga." So, what's the deal with that last one? Why does Sheldon Cooper — played by Jim Parsons — say it on the CBS sitcom? According to an oral history of the series, the answer is pretty ridiculous.

In "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" by Jessica Radloff, some of the show's stars and creative team discussed "Bazinga" and how it became a part of the show. Though Sheldon says it during the series' second season, it truly became a "catchphrase" of sorts in the season 3 episode "The Einstein Approximation," which Radloff noted is more commonly known as "the ball-pit episode." As showrunner and executive producer Steve Molaro told it, the series'...

Following Young Sheldon‘s conclusion, Chuck Lorre is all set with Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage to take us back to the eccentric world of The Big Bang Theory. The latest show serves as the second spin-off to Tbbt and takes place after the events of Young Sheldon.

This time, all the focus is on Sheldon’s elder brother Georgie Cooper, and the actor Montana Jordan confessed that Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage presented one of the greatest challenges to him, Tango.

In the "The Big Bang Theory" episode "The Pancake Batter Anomaly", the ordinarily snippy hypochondriac Sheldon (Jim Parsons) catches a severe cold, unwittingly passed to him from the ever-healthy Penny (Kaley Cuoco). Sheldon's roommates take the opportunity to flee the apartment, and Penny is therefore roped into caring for Sheldon. Penny soon learns how odd Sheldon's illness requests are. For one, he insists she rub Vick's VapoRub on his chest, which she begrudgingly agrees to. As she does, however, Sheldon demands she also sing one of his favorite childhood lullabies, a Polish folk song called "Soft Kitty." He sings it for her, and she attempts to follow along. Penny is immensely annoyed.

The song immediately became beloved by "Bang's" many fans, however, and it would be sung in eight additional episodes of the series, sometimes under very bizarre circumstances. "Soft Kitty" is one of the show's more notable running gags.

Max’s Big Bang Theory spinoff is no longer in its “prenatal stage.” Franchise vets Kevin Sussman (Stuart), Lauren Lapkus (Denise) and Brian Posehn (Bert) have all signed deals to star in the potential offshoot, TVLine has confirmed.

According to our sister site Deadline, which first broke the news, the offshoot remains in the early stages of development; there’s been no official green light, and a script is still being written. That said, this news would confirm that the series will be a true spinoff — not a sequel series comprised of mostly new characters (à la Hulu’s How I Met Your Father...

“Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever”, Walt Disney once said—a sentiment that echoes throughout the iconic sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. This 12-season CBS favorite continues to enchant audiences both young & old with its alluring format where each character navigates life’s ups and downs with a comedic flair.

At its core, the series spotlights Penny, portrayed by Kaley Cuoco, whose journey from an aspiring actress from Omaha to an integral part of an otherwise all-male ensemble is as relatable as it is entertaining.

Has Penny always been just the girl next door, or is she, in fact, the beam around which the show orbits? Well, initially, the show set its sights on her life as a young woman from Omaha seeking her place in the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles.

Actor Dick Van Dyke has been seen in public for the first time since he recently canceled an upcoming appearance. However, Van Dyke has been appearing at a few events in recent years. Added to that, the beloved actor’s 99th birthday, which he discussed in a statement is coming up.

Van Dyke Was Expected To Appear At A Three-Day Event

On television, Van Dyke’s biggest claim to fame was playing Rob Petrie on his namesake CBS sitcom, The Dick Van Dyke Show. He’s also known for his various movie roles, such as Bye Bye Birdie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Mary Poppins. With the Disney live-action/animated hybrid serving as one of his most famous films, he notably appeared in the 2018 sequel, Mary Poppins Returns.

The actor was seen running errands in Malibu. He was seen wearing a plae blue shirt, joggers, and a leopard-print walking stick.

Despite being one of CBS’s most successful and beloved sitcoms, The Big Bang Theory’s ending with 12 seasons left fans with mixed feelings, particularly regarding characters like Raj and Penny. Another character fans hoped would have achieved more by the series finale was Howard Wolowitz.

Portrayed by Simon Helberg in the sitcom, Howard underwent significant growth throughout the show, evolving from a self-proclaimed smooth-talking ladies’ man, often perceived as more of a creep, into a devoted husband and father. However, many fans felt his character arc fell short, especially in terms of finally standing up to Sheldon.

Tim Blake Nelson, the character actors’ character actor, has spent a career adding to a “rogues gallery of dysfunctional weirdos” on film and TV, from the singing convict in O Brother, Where Art Thou? and the singing gunslinger in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs — both from the Coen Brothers — to Wade Tillman, a paranoid cop with incredible interrogation skills and a severe case of Ptsd in HBO’s Emmy-winning TV series Watchmen, to the supervillain Samuel Sterns, aka The Leader, in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, a role Nelson will reprise, 16 years later, in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World.

Along the way, Nelson has also gone behind the camera, directing film versions of his plays Eye of God (1997) and The Grey Zone (2001), adapting Shakespeare’s Othello, setting it in a modern-day high school with O (2001), and shooting two of his original screenplays: Kansas (1998) and Leaves of Grass (2009).

I have to confess I don’t know much about William Tell, the legendary 14th century huntsman who we were told as school children took his bow and arrow and heroically shot an apple off the top of his son’s head. And there is also the infamous “William Tell Overture” played in concerts around the globe. So that’s it. That is all I knew, until now, when I was completely captivated by a rousing new adventure William Tell, which does indeed tell the tale of this reluctant warrior. But did he ever really exist or is this tale a tall one? Director-writer Nick Hamm tries valiantly to put the pieces together. It all happened a long time ago, as this film’s events are set in 1307, but whatever the facts I have to say this is perfect movie material, reminiscent in spirit and execution of 1995’s Oscar-winning Braveheart.

Earlier this year, fans of the Young Sheldon series were left heartbroken when the show ended. When the beloved show ended with the death of George Sr, the world could not wait for the characters to make a comeback. Thankfully, that is exactly what happened when another spin-off series, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, was green-lit. While the title may have left many fans feeling a twinge of confusion, the executive producer, Steve Holland claimed that was the whole point.

The Big Bang Theory transformed the comedy sitcom genre and presented six beloved characters that quickly became fan favorites. The show brought several relationships to the forefront. But out of the lot, the most heartwarming was the one between Jim Parsons’ Sheldon Cooper and Kaley Cuoco’s Penny.

In another one of such moments, Cuoco revealed in a past interview why she thought Parsons would have been the perfect Sheldon after meeting the actor during the auditions.

The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 laughter-filled seasons and depicted the lives of four awkward but genius friends who navigated through love, life, and friendship. While Sheldon and Leonard were best friends on the show, his dynamics weren’t the most ideal with Leonard’s on-and-off girlfriend, Penny, in the initial seasons.

Acting isn’t the lone skill that Kaley Cuoco bears under her belt, as apart from excelling at the small screen for the past two decades, Cuoco is also a pretty skilled athlete. From being a proficient equestrian to almost choosing tennis as a career path over her Hollywood fame, the actress never had to count on one thing to be successful as a teen.

Moreover, according to The Big Bang Theory showrunner Chuck Lorre, Cuoco didn’t shy away from putting her expertise in tennis to the forefront during ping pong tournaments on set.

Long before the actress took an interest in acting, Kaley Cuoco started playing tennis when she was only 3 and even became a ranked amateur player during her childhood.

When you think of The Big Bang Theory, it’s hard to imagine anyone other than the iconic cast that brought Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, and the gang to life. But what if we told you one of these beloved characters almost looked very different? Picture this: a core cast member who stole the spotlight, but wasn’t even the first pick for the role! Yep, while audiences laughed and cried with these nerdy geniuses, most of the cast—and even Jim Parsons—were blissfully unaware that one of their own was actually a second choice.

While his work might not enjoy the iconic status of the Columbia Pictures classics that formed a key part of the retrospective programming at the 72nd Locarno Film Festival, Samuel Fuller is a director who’s nevertheless had a significant influence on the kind of independent cinema that the event seeks to champion. However, a screening of Fuller’s penultimate feature, Street of No Return, which formed part of this year’s Histoires de Cinema section at Locarno, couldn’t help but seem like an outlier in today’s film landscape.

After its visually striking opening sequence sees a gang war waged in the streets of an absurdly rundown, almost post-apocalyptic city, the 1989 film follows a homeless man (Keith Carradine) as he tracks down a former lover (Valentina Vargas) and seeks revenge on the drug dealer (Marc de Jonge) who cut his throat and ended his career as a chart-topping,...

Have you ever heard of love at first sight? Well, Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey have taken it one step further. Love at first sight is one thing, but love that sparks an instant desire for a baby? Yes, you heard that right—they were struck by a shared, “instantaneous” desire to start a family the moment they met.

And what’s more, congratulations to this dynamic duo, who announced their engagement on August 14, 2024! But that’s not the only juicy tidbit we have today: Cuoco’s real-life pregnancy might just have been the secret ingredient missing from The Big Bang Theory’s recipe.

Okay — at face value, it seems ridiculous to state that a show that ran for 12 seasons and the same number of years ended "abruptly." Still, according to a comprehensive oral history of the hit CBS sitcom "The Big Bang Theory," some of the show's stars were shocked when they learned the show was finally coming to an end ... and it caused a pretty big rift between Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco.

It's now well-known that the show only did end after 12 seasons because Parsons wanted to leave Sheldon Cooper and his various neuroses behind, and Jessica Radloff's book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" details how Cuoco was pretty pissed when she discovered that her job was coming to an end. Steve Holland, one of the show's executive producers, even told Radloff that "Kaley could barely make eye contact with Jim during...

In a surprising twist of TV trivia, it turns out Kunal Nayyar’s character, Raj, broke a major continuity rule in one scene.
