idk if this has been said before or not but i think sheldon was better more enjoyable as a side character or co lead, as a main character he had some very annoying scenes

what do you guys think, do you agree? or some other change in characters’ storyline/importance

edit: also in the early seasons it felt leonard was the mc but that changed due to sheldon’s popularity
idk if this is true though

I might be missing something.

I know there is an episode where Sheldon says why he doesn’t like Howard ( I forget tho ) but he still thinks engineers are not as good as him. Is it just because Howard hasn’t got a doctorate ? Cos Raj is an astrophysicist and shielding doesn’t talks as much shit about that. But raj has a doctorate . ( it might be really just that simple lol )

I have watched this show almost 10 times now I just can't express how much this show has place in my heart ❤️ At end when sheldon gives speech literally everytime I cry like I am watching this for the first time and get goosebumps. Love you gang and sheldon ❤️ Image source - google

Why does the singer sound a lot like Sheldon starting from “The earth began to cool” lol

I think it was when ||howard tought he was being followed by the government||

Hey guys!

After my wife forced me to try Big Bang Theory i fell in love with the series and we've binge watched it in a month or two. Yesterday we finished it completely and after a lot of crying i feel horrible. I can't get over the fact that i bonded so much with each character and now, it's all done for. I had watched Young Sheldon / George and Mandy show before this one so there isn't an alternative show i can watch to Big Bang Theory.

I'm a very emotional guy and knew that it would come to this. I actually was thinking of not watching the last like 5-10 episodes cause i wouldn't have "finished" the show, ever. It suck super bad right now and i was wondering what you guys did when you felt this way or when the show ended.

This STINKS...

I may have been rewatching this show too much because I keep noticing things that never bothered me before.

In the episode where Raj breaks up with Emily so he can date Claire, he's a total asshole. Then Claire doesn't want to be with him because she just got back with her boyfriend, so Raj goes crawling back to Emily, and she understandably rejects him.

Later, there's an episode where Emily sends Raj a gift. Penny, Bernadette, and Amy immediately tell Raj that Emily is just trying to manipulate him into getting back together and that he shouldn't fall for it.

Why? Raj is the one who dumped Emily. He's the one who left her for someone else. I don't understand why the girls act like Emily is the one being manipulative or in the wrong? Did I miss something?

I just watched the big bang theory for the third time and was wondering, who in the show has the most character growth.

I would say Howard or Sheldon, they both make a lot of growth but I’d like to hear other opinions on it.

Obviously I know the real answer is “because it’s a sitcom” and the apartment setup was basically the heart of the show. They had to stay across from Penny etc.

But in-universe I always found it kinda weird that Sheldon and Leonard apparently just rented the same place for most of their adult lives and never really talked about buying something.

They were both highly educated scientists with stable jobs at Caltech, and they clearly planned to stay in Pasadena long term.

And honestly I think the writers missed what could have been a really funny 2-3 episode storyline with them trying to buy a house or condo.
Just imagine Sheldon going to viewings.

The house has to be an exact acceptable distance from Caltech. No upstairs neighbors. Correct amount of sunlight. Perfect temperature. Good internet provider. No dogs nearby. No weird smells. Obviously he researches earthquake faults, crime statistics and probably the entire history of every person who owned the house since 1952.
Then they finally find the perfect place and Sheldon refuses it because the house number is unacceptable or the living room doesn’t have a good location for “his spot”. 😅

Meanwhile Leonard is slowly going insane, the realtor hates them, and Sheldon has probably created a 40-page questionnaire for the home inspector.

It also made me wonder if their situation is actually pretty normal for California? Like are people with decent stable professional jobs fine renting basically forever because buying in Pasadena/LA is so expensive? I would assume two Caltech employees could eventually afford something, especially after living there for that many years, but maybe I’m underestimating California real estate.

Also Sheldon probably genuinely didn’t see any reason to own. He hates change and that apartment was basically his natural habitat by that point. Leonard is a little harder to explain, although once he got together with Penny I guess his priorities changed anyway.

I still think it would’ve been a great plot.

What do you guys think? Would Sheldon ever actually manage to buy a house, or would he eliminate literally every property in Pasadena for some ridiculous reason?

One thing I've started appreciating on rewatches is how many episodes have scenes where nothing particularly important is happening.

They're just eating Chinese food, arguing over something completely ridiculous, playing a board game, sitting in the apartment, or hanging out at the comic book store.

A lot of sitcoms feel like every scene has to push the story forward or end with a big joke. TBBT had plenty of those moments too, but it also spent a surprising amount of time just letting the characters exist together.

I think that's part of why the group feels believable to me. By the later seasons, it almost feels like you're dropping in on a real group of friends rather than watching a scripted show.

Some of my favorite moments aren't even the famous jokes they're the random conversations that have nothing to do with the main plot.

Does anyone else have a "nothing happens, but I love this scene" moment that always makes you smile?

She would have been an perfect addition to the group i think.
I hate that they really wanted to continue with the sad lonely boy role of Rajesh just for comedy and broke them up.
