The Big Bang Theory extended for three series

Long-running US sitcom The Big Bang Theory has been extended for a further three series, broadcaster CBS has said.

The show, which centres on a group of high-functioning science "geeks", is now due to air until at least 2017.

The most recent series, which is screened on Channel 4 and E4 in the UK, was seen by almost 20 million viewers in the US.

"The Big Bang Theory is the biggest comedy force on television," said CBS entertainment head Nina Tassler.

She also hailed the partnership between the broadcaster and Warner Bros, who make the programme.

Actor Jim Parsons, who lies at the heart of the show as a scientific genius with negligible social skills, has already won three Emmy Awards for his role as Dr Sheldon Cooper.

According to Hollywood publication Variety, Parsons - along with his principal co-stars - are currently in negotiations to renew their contracts on the show.

The programme, which is currently in its seventh season, was the top-rated sitcom on US television in 2012-13.

Its co-creator Chuck Lorre is also behind comedy Two and a Half Men, which is also likely to be renewed along with his other current hits, Mike and Molly, and Anna Faris sitcom Mom.

[King Gizzard]

You say that but I still see Sheldon Cooper (worst character on any TV show ever) every ****ing where and that stupid saying of his

[T*]

Baloongza!

[Me. I Am Salman]

triple vom

[Firewire]

I love the bbt!

you would, wouldn't you

[Firewire]

Can't say I'm surprised considering the ratings it gets but it's so unfunny now

[Samm]

don't know how the show is funny, but idc you don't see it on telly in the UK

[T*]

you would, wouldn't you

What's that supposed to mean? :suspect:

[T*]

don't know how the show is funny, but idc you don't see it on telly in the UK

It's on most of the time on e4

[Firewire]

What's that supposed to mean? :suspect:

it was just a joke :laugh:

[Samm]

It's on most of the time on e4

oh stopped watching E4 after BB got axed

[Brother Leon]

Great news. Bazinga.

[Me. I Am Salman]

It's not even remotely interesting to compensate for the unfunniness I don't get the appeal at all

[Shaun]

I knew what this thread would be about :laugh:

"if you don't like it don't watch" is such a boring-BS thing to say, by the way. "if you don't like david cameron don't vote", "if you don't like onions don't eat them"

bitch i will ****ing say i don't like onions if i ****ing want to

[King Gizzard]

^^ and it takes awards over other shows that deserve them

[Shaun]

that too. And the general dumbing down of comedy. And giving Jim Parsons a career when he cannot act or tell a joke to save his life (see his hosting of Saturday Night Live last week and just TRY to tell me he wasn't appalling)

[Roy Mars III]

this show is terrible, not even Melissa Rauch's boobs can save it

[Lewis.]

Yeah, I've never found it very funny!

[Marsh.]

I thought it was good for the first 3 or 4 seasons but it's pretty much a second rate Friends now right down to Leonard and Penny being Ross and Rachel.

If you don't like David Cameron the one thing you should do IS vote.

[zakman440]

Meh, not too fussed. Big Bang has its moments.

[Shaun]

all 2 of them

[Black Dagger]

I find most comedy series a bit awful tbh. How I Met Your Mother, Two and A Half Men.

Just give me Modern Family, those can **** off.

same omg I kinda hate all sitcoms

[Jessica.]

It's god awful, I don't understand the appeal of it. The only good thing is the theme song which has been ruined by association with the series, Barenaked Ladies are such a good band! :love:

[Natalie.]

Not a fan then?

[King Gizzard]

Badults is the UK equivalent in terms of terribleness (but badults doesn't do well in ratings so)

[Ramsay]

[King Gizzard]

the last line :laugh:

[Brother Leon]

This thread has reminded me I need to catching up with the last series.

[Z]

I've never properly sat down and given it a chance (which is bad because my best friend got me series 1-4 on DVD for my 21st birthday and it won't be long until I turn 23 :joker:) but I've never found it funny, from what little I have seen. :shrug:

[Benjamin]

I love BB theory, the last few seasons have been weak though.

[Jake.]

Awful show

[Saph]

Cheryl coming back is the worst news, but this is a close second.

[Vicky.]

I actually really love this. And I dont understand why it gets so much hate at all :laugh:

[Mystic Mock]

The secret Soap Opera was always gonna get renewed, it's ratings are incredible.

The show for me though was at it's most scariest for me was without the laugh track, here's the one I caught, and trust me it will give you nightmares.

do you actually like anything that doesn't stem from trying to wind everyone up or

[InOne]

I'm glad it's carrying on but it's definitely not as good as it used to be. I knew it couldn't just stick with the original cast but some of the later additions are pretty weak. Wish they didn't have Howard get married so fast.

[Brother Leon]

do you actually like anything that doesn't stem from trying to wind everyone up or

Sorry bro.


I'll try to have same taste as you all x

[jamal91]

missing plane..

[Crimson Dynamo]

This show is like a teens version of Zoey 101 but not as good. Dreadful.
