The Big Bang Theory is one of CBS’s highest rated shows and has ran for an impressive 11 seasons and fans still seem to want more. Here are seven facts you probably didn’t know about the series.
Penny’s surname is a mystery
It’s true, she is the only character whose surname has never been revealed.
It was given two three-season renewals by CBS
This is the first time in modern TV history that a scripted TV series has been given three-season renewals not once but twice.
The original title of the show was Lenny, Penny and Kenny
Who’s Kenny? Is this what we could be calling Sheldon had things have turned out as planned? We don’t like it.
Mayim Bialik aka Amy on the show has a PhD
She is actually the only actor on the show to have one and it is fittingly in neural biology.
The “Soft Kitty” song is real
The show didn’t entirely create it. It’s based on an Australian children’s song from the executive producer’s daughter’s pre school.
Penny has been using the same purse since the second episode of season 1
This is surprising, considering how many outfit changes she has.
Stuart Bloom used to own a comic book store in real life
Kevin Sussman, who plays Stuart, was a comic book store owner before he became an actor.
