Just received news from my Facebook feed that after twelve seasons (a record), The Big Bang Theory was airing it's final episode.
What a great show, filled with laughs, good times, and great story lines. From the very beginning, I was hooked by the concept of the series: the trials and tribulations of the super bright and nerdy. Then there was the surprising array of celebrity guest appearances: Sara Gilbert, from Roseanne ; Summer Glau,the actress who played the Terminator Cameron on The Sarah Connor Chronicles; Laurie Metcalf, also from Roseanne; Charlie Sheen, from Two and a Half Men, Courtney Henggeller from Happy Endings; George Takei, from the original Star Trek; comic mogul Stan Lee; Deadwood actor Keith Carradine; Carrie Fisher, James Earl Jones from Star Wars, et al.
Mayim Bialik as Amy
And while we're at it, let's not forget Renaissance Chick Mayim Bialik, who played Blossom on the sitcom of the same name. Her character Amy became a fan favorite after she was added to the cast late in the series run. Dr. Bialik holds a PhD in neuroscience, and runs the web site Grok Nation.
Who can forget Kaley Cuoco, the lovable blonde airhead who was not really an airhead?

And then there's Jim Parsons, who played the sarcastic, witty, ridiculously arrogant, sometimes irascible (and always hilarious) Sheldon Cooper.
