One could argue that "The Big Bang Theory" was the last great sitcom to hijack the zeitgeist. The hallmarks of "The Big Bang Theory" and its classic sitcom ilk — iconic hangout spots, live studio audiences, and a will-they-won't-they relationship — are elements that some fans have grown to miss in today's television landscape. Since the show's rise to prominence and eventual conclusion, the conversation has never really fully shifted away from it; to this day, fans debate the show's portrayal of women, color, and, most notably, geek culture. As a result, its relevance has never truly waned.
Of course, fans love revisiting their favorite old TV shows and movies. A handful of recent projects — the "Friends" (https://www.looper.com/422530/the-reason-fans-are-so-angry-over-the-friends-reunion-special/) and "Harry Potter" (https://www.looper.com/722656/the-huge-mistake-you-missed-in-the-harry-potter-reunion-special/) reunions on HBO Max, the "Offices Ladies" podcast, and the "Woke Up This Morning" podcast to name a few — offer the audiences of their respective shows behind-the-scenes info straight from the stars and crew themselves. In that same spirit, the new book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series" by Jessica Radloff unleashes the reality of what happened during the show's production. It gives viewers first-person retellings of all the known and unknown stories behind the show's creation. Here are the essential takeaways.
