Johnny Galecki on When He Realized 'The Big Bang Theory' Was Going To Be A Big Succes - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Johnny, you must have a lot of crazy fan interactions at Comic-Con.

Galecki: It’s insanity. I feel like Mick Jagger. I thought that going there was a really bad idea initially because we’re not a sci-fi show. I thought, “They’re going to run us out of town!” I explained this to Chuck Lorre on the train on the way to San Diego. I was like, “This is a horrible idea.” (Laughter.) We looked at the schedule, and Battlestar Galactica had a panel at the same time. I told Chuck: “Nobody’s going to show up for ours. We’re not a sci-fi show.” He’s like, “You’re right.” He gets on the phone and tries to get us into a smaller theater and can’t. So we’re in this 3,000-seat theater, and I think 1,700 people had been turned away. It was completely sold out! That was year two and one of the first times that we felt, this is really striking a chord, and we’ve gone back every year since.
