"The Big Bang Theory," which ran 2007-2019, was a ratings juggernaut like few others for CBS. Naturally the company wanted to milk the popularity of the series for all its worth. That was why we got 12 seasons of "The Big Bang Theory" spanning more than a decade, with an additional spinoff prequel series to boot.

Over the course of the 12 seasons, audiences watched shy, nerdy scientist Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) try to woo the pretty girl next door Penny (Kaley Cuoco) in spite of his best friends Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Rajesh Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) dragging him down with their combined geekiness and social awkwardness. Eventually Leonard manages to ask Penny out, only to discover the course of true love never runs smooth, as the two kept breaking up and getting back together. In later seasons, the main cast grew to include Howard's paramour Bernadette Rostenkowski (Melissa Rauch) and Sheldon's eventual wife Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik).

With a large central cast and many recurring characters, there were certain storylines that "The Big Bang Theory" introduced over the years, only to drop them abruptly and without explanation. Here are some such aborted storylines that left fans scratching their heads.
