‘The Big Bang Theory’ ended its popular 12-season run last month. Sadly, the CBS primetime hit’s ending was not a clever bazinga by show co-creator Chuck Lorre.
Speaking of Mr. Lorre — the veritable sitcom (though he hates the word sitcom) king of the modern era — I thought I’d throw it back to an interview he gave about seven years ago in which he described how ‘The Big Bang Theory’ came to be for its TV premiere in 2007.
For 12 years, ‘The Big Bang Theory’ was — to quote a memorable expression of optimism by Leonard in the pilot involving his crush on beautiful new neighbor Penny — smart and beautiful…
and, thankfully, not imaginary.
