Popular US TV show ‘The Big Bang Theory’ comes to an end

The Big Bang Theory has been one of TV’s most popular comedy show over the last decade in the US as well as internationally. It premiered on the CBS network in the US on 24th September 2007 and aired its last episode on 16th May 2019.

The original plot of the show, set in California (US) revolved around two brilliant but introverted physicists, Leonard and Sheldon, their two friends and fellow scientists, Raj and Howard and their interactions with Penny, the pretty waitress who lives across them.  Over time, additional characters like Bernadette and Amy were added to the expanded storyline

The show ran for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019 with 280 episodes
 	Jim Parsons, the actor for Sheldon, has won a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award for his role. The show itself has won 56 awards till now
 	Much of the series focuses on science, particularly physics; science fiction and fantasy media and comic books also feature widely
 	The popularity of the show has led to the creation of a prequel series, ‘Young Sheldon’, which focuses on the childhood of the character of Sheldon
 	The show had numerous cameos (one-time appearances) from famous real scientists like Stephen Hawking and Neil deGrasse Tyson as well as many popular actors from shows like Star Trek.
 	The show popularized the word ‘Bazinga’ – a made-up term used by Sheldon when he pranks people
 	One of the stars of the show is Raj, an Indian astrophysicist from New Delhi, played by actor Kunal Nayyar

Befitting its massive popularity, the final two-part episode on 16th May drew in an audience over 18 million people, marking the grand end of a much-loved show.

The reruns of the show can be watched in India on the Hotstar App.
