"The Big Bang Theory" premieres 2007



The best and probably only television show to celebrate and revere nerds, The Big Bang Theory, premiered September 24, 2007.  Four hopelessly socially-impaired geeks navigate their way through life dealing with their jobs, rivalries and beautiful women. 

It starred Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Mayim Bialik, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, and Melissa Rauch. 

In 2011, Jim Parsons won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series.  The series won numerous Primetime Emmy Awards. Stephen Hawking, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Wil Wheaton, Bill Nye and astronaut Michael Massimino all made appearances over the course of the series.

TV Guide has listed it as #52 on its list of the best 60 series  of all time.

The series wrapped up in 2019 after 12 seasons.
