For 12 seasons and years in “The Big Bang Theory”, the main character of the program, Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons, whose program out of the program finally finished the entire series, defined the series, for better and For worse. Sheldon is an exclusively drawn character, created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady (who created the show) and perfectly played by Parsons. He even won multiple Emmy for paper and the character was popular enough to get his own spin-off, “Young Sheldon”, which worked for 7 seasons from 2017 to 2024. (That spin-off also He has a Spin-Off, “Georgie & Mandy’s first marriage, and there is another” Big Bang Theory “spin-off in Max’s works). At the same time, Sheldon can be frustrating, especially when it comes to the way it is about his friends Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco), just to name a few … although in the end, always, always They accept it by the stubborn but brilliant person who is.
In addition, it was almost called Kenny.
According to book 2022 by Jessica Radloff “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive and Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series“Sheldon Cooper almost went through” Kenny “(at least for his first name; there is no information about a potentially different surname for the character). As Radloff, Lorre and Prady said they came up with the idea that two nerds who would originally become In Leonard and Sheldon he would meet a beautiful girl, Penny, while moving on their hallway, immediately … but the names arrived later, and almost influenced the title of the entire show at the beginning.
Big Bang’s theory almost had a completely different title, based on Sheldon’s original name
In Jessica Radloff’s book, Bill Prady said Sheldon not only took the name “Kenny” in the original draft of the program that would become “The Big Bang Theory”, but the title was also different. “‘Lenny, Penny and Kenny’ was the original title of the show, so Lenny was Leonard’s character, and Kenny was Sheldon’s character,” Prady revealed. “That title lasted about five minutes. In fact, my contract says: ‘Lenny, Penny and Kenny’ A/K/A ‘Big Bang Theory'”.
So, where did Prady and Chuck Lorre have the idea of naming Sheldon … Sheldon? “Those were the names of the characters originally,” Lorre said in the book. “But we wanted to pay tribute to the producer and television actor and actor Sheldon Leonard, so Sheldon and Leonard came.” That triple threat worked in classic comedies such as “The Danny Thomas Show”, “The Andy Griffith Show”, “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and a lot of other important comedy projects, so it made sense, which is like they landed in Sheldon . However, what about the main title of the entire show?
How were Chuck Lorre and his team established in the Big Bang theory?
If you are familiar with Chuck Lorre’s work body, you may not be surprised to know that Lorre used the scientific term “Big Bang”, which refers to the theory about the expansion of the universe, because he liked it to be a double meaning . In fact, he felt inspired by his blow at that time, “Two and a Half Men”, which trafficked in quite obscene jokes.
“Looking back, this is something shameful, but given how much the success of ‘two and a half and a half impacted me, the title’ The Big Bang Theory ‘had the idea of a sexual hint. And it was rude enough to learn that. I also liked the idea of co -opting something that was already part of culture. ” (In that last part, Lorre refers to the scientific community, although he also points out that once he saw a scientist regretting the fact that when you are looking for “The Big Bang Theory” online, the program appears first).
As for Bill Prady, he is the first to admit that delighted About insinuation … but did not go back to the end. “I will say that I am a mojigato for the registration, and I am from Michigan, and I expressed very well objections to Mr. Lorre,” Prady recalled before admitting that he could not overcome it. (There are more insinuations for you). “The problem was that I didn’t have a good alternative. And the only way you can get rid of something you don’t like is something better. I had nothing better. So I did not fight too much.
In the end, “The Big Bang Theory” became one of the most popular situation comedies of all time, to the point that he even broke a transmission disc recently in Max, and now he can see it on that platform.
