The Big Bang Theory created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007, and concluded on May 16, 2019, having broadcast 279 episodes over 12 seasons.

The show originally centered on five characters living in Pasadena, California: Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), both physicists at Caltech, who share an apartment; Penny (Kaley Cuoco), a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's similarly geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers, aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar). Over time, supporting characters were promoted to starring roles, including neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), microbiologist Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch), and comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman).

The show was filmed in front of a live audience and produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions. It ultimately reached the no. 1 spot in its eleventh season. It was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series from 2011 to 2014 and won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series four times for Parsons. In total, it won seven Emmy Awards from 46 nominations. Parsons also won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Co

  • And then her daughter played the same character in Young Sheldon and she nailed it.

    It's weird, they could have made the character insufferable, or really annoying, or played her for laughs, but they wrote her sympathetically, which is rare for people of faith in sitcoms. She was warm, and kind and sympathetic. Even when you laughed at some of her beliefs, it was still very genuine and you really enjoyed her as a person and not just as a foil for Sheldon.

    Sheldon's mom going against Leonard's mom is gold.
  • Mary deserves credit for the Nobel Prize. She gave the idea to Sheldon regarding perfection through imperfection.
  • @kathieprater2431
    Mayim Bialek was perfectly cast as Amy Farrah Fowler. She made that character go from robotic and creepy to a semi normal woman. I loved her character.

    “Dumbass daddy” - George was a good father. He may had lapses but he always means well. God bless his soul 😊
  • @Hawk3rR
    "more than 1 woman were interested in you, I might've prayed too hard". Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
  • @Dina-hd7re
    Mary Cooper...a legend,one and only like her son😊😊😊
  • The casting choice to have the actor for Mary's daughter as Mary in Young sheldon was actual genius. They look exactly alike
  • @Artisan1979
    7:49 Mary is right. George Senior would definitely be proud of his son.
  • @EReber76
    As a Christian myself, Mary’s character is pretty freaking hilariously accurate 😂
  • @greGi969
    OMG Sheldon's Mom is the key of solving the equation😂👍
  • I have from the first been in awe of how much depth and warmth and nuance Laurie Metcalf brought to this character, initially without a lot of help from the writing. (And I'm squarely in the demographic that would have been perfectly satisfied snickering at a Mary Cooper somebody just phoned in.) Metcalf not only turned Mary into an actual PERSON, she also managed to make the idea that she and Sheldon could be part of the same family so believable, you could build a whole 'nother show about it.
  • @rajaskan
    The level of favoritism that Mary shows towards Sheldon is >>>>>, made Georgie sound like a loser but he’s a hardworking and successful businessman.
  • I love Mary simply for the fact that she can go up against Sheldon and Beverly Hofstadter without breaking a sweat.
  • @angelaclaire609
    Come back please, the big bang theory 😭 I miss you 😭
  • @TALKINGtac0
    I love the fact that they lowkey made her turn out like Meemaw
