Celebrating 100 episodes of comedy!

The Big Bang Theory


From buying time machines, to relationships with phone operating systems, The Big Bang Theory has hit a milestone for any series! Celebrating their 100th episode, The Big Bang Theory has had a night of fun with E4. With two brand new episodes, and two well informed documentaries the American comedy has reached a milestone in any sitcom.

Series directors, Mark Cendrowski, Peter Chakos, Anthony Joseph Rich and Howard Murray must be having one hell of a party in celebration of their achievements! Joining them are the two main series writers Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady!

The story itself follows four friends on their journey from science (as they are all scientists!) to real life. We have Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), a loveable geek who just wants to have a girlfriend, Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) who is smarter than all of your friends put together! He is the most comedic person that is a stand-alone legend. Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) is the only one without the Doctor status, and is always put down for it, well that and his being Jewish but that doesn’t stop his loveable finance from loving him! And to complete the foursome is Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), an inquisitive Indian fellow that can only talk to women when drunk.

If you think there are too many men in this programme, then welcome Penny (Kaley Cuoco) the girl who moves into an apartment opposite unlikely roommates Sheldon and Leonard and the girl who is sent to change everything. Through their interaction, the awkward scientists learn how to deal with scenarios they are not accustomed to…such as dating and social interaction with real people!

As the series progress the cast expands to include Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) now known as Howard’s wife to be, god help her and her squeaky voice!

A shock to all who know and love each and every character in this series was the arrival of a love interest for 
Sheldon and they couldn’t have cast her any better! Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik) as she is the duplicate of Sheldon…but as a woman!

If you want an amazing and realistic journey through four men learning how to live in the real world and break from a routine, then you need to watch, or keep watching this series!

To celebrate their 100th episode the cast got to air their two brand new episodes and two documentaries. 

One documentary looked into the behind the scenes filming of the episodes and the other revolves around the making of the series. For any fan, Thursday 5th April will be a milestone that no one will forget.

The cast and writers have been spectacular and I hope that this programme continues to make us laugh and confuse us with the scientific terminology! If you want to see what happens when a robot arm is misused, watching a grown man learn to drive on a simulator, what happens when a girl gets a tiara and blatant undertones of gay/lesbian tendencies…then this is the programme for you!

May it live long and prosper!

BAZINGA!
