List Of The Big Bang Theory Characters

The American sitcom The Big Bang Theory, created and executive produced by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007. The show centers on five characters: roommates Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter, two Caltech physicists; Penny, a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's friends and co-workers aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz, and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali.

Over time, several supporting characters have been promoted to starring roles: Leslie Winkle (season 1 recurring; season 2 regular; season 3 guest), a physicist colleague, and, at different times, a lover of both Leonard and Howard; Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz (season 3 recurring; season 4-present regular), a microbiologist, Howard's fiancée and subsequent wife, and former part-time waitress alongside Penny; neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler (season 3 guest; season 4 recurring; season 4-present regular), who joins the group after being matched to Sheldon on a dating website; and comic book store-owner, Stuart Bloom (seasons 2–5 recurring; season 6-present regular), who replaces Howard as Raj's best friend when Howard is in space. The show also features numerous supporting characters, each of whom plays a prominent role in a small group of episodes.

These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    Not with a bang but a whimper.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend.
    Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
