The Big Bang Theory first premiered on CBS on Spetember 24th 2007. Boasting a staggering 50 Emmy nominations, while taking home 10 of those. Hate it or love it, there is no denying the cultural impact the series had. The Big Bang Theory, aligned with the massive push in comicbook movies at the time, had a hand in catapulting nerdum to the mainstream. The general public became much more accepting/aware of comics, Dungeons & Dragons, Star Trek, Star Wars and many other IP's the shows main cast showed an affection for. The Big Bang Theory came to a close on May 16th, 2019 after 12 seasons. Reason being, that Jim Parsons, who portrayed Sheldon Cooper, wanted to move on from the show and the creators felt that continuing without its biggest star, wasn't the best move.
The newest spin-off in The Big Bang Theory universe (TBBTU?...) Stuart Fails To Save The Universe, is set to premiere later this month on July 23rd, streaming on HBO Max. For those unfamiliar with the show, Stuart was the lonely comic shop owner, that the main cast frequented in The Big Bang Theory. Stuart was always made out to be an even more tragic/loner of a character than the 4 main guys.
