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.

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

"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.

[Pete.]

BBT slays

Stay pressed haters

Oh dear, even more tired than TBBT are those Britney Spears gifs.

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