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.

No. She analyses people against their will. Psychotherapists do this with their children, I know some of them and they all hate it. And she has "cold empathy". This means, she understands why people behave the way they behave, she even understands their feelings but she just doesn't care about them. This is not uncommon. I experienced this with my dad (as Leonard with Beverly). Beverly is not the worst. She just doesn't care about other people, but she doesn't use her psychological knowledge to manipulate them.

The Big Bang Theory was just super fantastic as I've said before, when talking about the Clip's I've seen. Now rehashing the Episode's has a real zeal too them. For the former one about Leonard's Mom? Played by the Very Talented, and extremely, & Greatly accomplished Actress Christine Baranske. Man what Role couldn't this Woman Play. Till recently I'll admit I couldn't place Her in thing's, other than Mama Mia, and some other smaller Roles. But Truely She is Dynamite 🧨🧨 and Gunpowder Mixed into a lethal Combination of just Fantastic abilities, that come out when She is in Front of the Cameras. She's a definite universal ♾️ phenomenon of the Entertainment Industry that She's excellently Suited For. Thank You so Much for Sharing these Fantastic memories with US. To Miss Baranske I wish Her Continued Success and Good luck with Her Life. May God Bless You. 👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏🤔🤔.

Wish they showed more into the mother-son dynamic. A quick episode of Leonard forgiving his mother in the end and somehow we are to believe that years of trauma is healed by a single discourse. I liked her scenes with Penny. And more with Penny as well. It would have been great if they showed her interactions with Leonard's siblings as well. The show majorly focussed on Sheldon's family because by the end they had to set up for Young Sheldon. Wish they alternated between each of the characters' childhood and growth phase. That would have been fun.

I love how, over the course of the show, Beverly befriends Penny the same way Sheldon does. Penny learned to read them both like a book and used that to her advantage too lol. Even more endearing is that Leonard, indirectly, got it confirmed to him that between himself and his siblings, *he* is by far the happiest, has the most stable marriage and arguibly the most genuine relationship with their mother, even if it isn't always pleasant.

@@zainabaria6838 that’s not always true. Some shrinks in private practice will provide therapy. Some in hospitals will be primarily meds only. But whatever the case she has to do at least some sort of patient interview to find out what the symptoms/problems are in order to prescribe the right meds. To do this correctly requires some empathy, positive regard, and a general desire to help people. This woman has none of those traits.

@tisvana18 21 күн бұрын

@@zainabaria6838Psychiatrists sometimes do counseling. The one I saw after a suicidal crisis prescribed therapy instead of medicine (I am obese so medicine is seen more as a last resort than it already is), and we did that for 16 weeks. Did eventually end up using ashwagandha for medicine though, “prescribed” by my GP. That finally worked, which was good because if it hadn’t then I would’ve had to start Wellbutrin.

It's funny to see how, as the show progresses, everybody (including Beverly) is going through a positive change. And I think Penny moving in is what set that in motion. Think about it. It was just the four men in the beginning. Sheldon, Raj, Howard, Leonard. Their life was confined to their academic work, and their share hobbies. When Penny moved in, Leonard and Sheldon (the latter involuntary) connected to someone who did not really share their interests. And because Penny knew Bernadette, She and Howard ended up together. Because of Penny, Raj overcame his muteness in the presence of women. Because of Penny, Amy became more confident. And even frosty Beverly warmed up, was proud of her son for marrying well, and eventually became able to express affection towards her son. You might even say that because of Penny, Sheldon was able to find love for a mate, which ended up in him winning the Nobel Prize.
