The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers on the show. It premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007.[2]
Set in Pasadena, California, the show is about two Caltech prodigies in their 20s, one an experimental physicist (Leonard Hofstadter) and the other a theoretical physicist (Sheldon Cooper), who live across the hall from an attractive blonde waitress with show-biz aspirations (Penny). Leonard and Sheldon's 'geekiness' and sheer intellect are contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense.[3][4] Two equally geeky friends of theirs, Howard and Rajesh, are also main characters.
The show is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions.[5] In March 2009, it was reported that The Big Bang Theory had been renewed for a third and fourth season by CBS.[6] In August 2009, the sitcom won the best comedy series TCA award and Jim Parsons won the award for individual achievement in comedy.[7]
When the third season premiered on September 21, 2009, it ranked as CBS's highest-rated show of that evening in the adults 18–49 demographic (4.6/10), along with a then series-high 12.83 million viewers.[8]
The Big Bang Theory airs on Mondays at 9:30 EST following another Chuck Lorre-produced show Two and a Half Men.[9]
《生活大爆炸》（英语：The Big Bang Theory,简称作TBBT）,又译为《天才也性感》、《天才理论传》、《宅男行不行》（台湾）、《特别变态科学家》（“特别变态”的拼音首字母TBBT正好与英文缩写相同）,是2007年9月24日美国哥伦比亚广播公司推出的一部情景喜剧,由Chuck Lorre与Bill Prady创造并担任执行制片.
这部电视剧主要描述了加州理工学院两个二十多岁的高智商物理学家,Leonard(实验物理学家)和Sheldon(理论物理学家)与他们的对门——一个想成为演员却在餐馆打工的漂亮女孩Penny之间发生的故事. 该片的喜剧效果是在两个主角的书呆子气和高智商与Penny的社会交往能力和常识之间的对比中达到的.主角的两个同样书呆子的朋友——Howard和Rajesh也是剧中的主要角色.
本剧由华纳兄弟电视公司和Chuck Lorre Publications出品,在美国东部时间每周一晚9点30分播出,紧跟另一部由Chuck Lorre制作的剧集《好汉两个半》. 2009年3月的报道称,哥伦比亚广播公司已经与《生活大爆炸》续约了第三季和第四季.
第三季已经于2009年9月21日开播.
