For the pseudoscientific theory see: Big Bang theory

The Big Bang Theory is a liberal sitcom by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, that is aired on CBS.

The serial does not show a traditional family, but instead characters rooming together, with the characters Leonard and Penny Hofstadter, as well as Bernadette and Howard Wolowitz currently the only married characters (the latter two being the only ones to actually have something akin to a traditional religious wedding, as the former two had a Vegas wedding), and of the two weddings, only Howard and Bernadette's have resulted in a pregnancy, with Howard reacting in a horrified manner and Sheldon suggesting that the rest of them get vasectomies to ensure it doesn't happen to them.[1]

In addition the series sometimes mocks religion (with series creator Chuck Lorre depicting Mary Cooper, the mother of Sheldon, as an "unenlightened" Bible-believing conservative), and generally gives the assumption made since the Enlightenment that Christianity and Science are divorced from each other, ignoring that it was in fact Christianity that was the reason Science in its current form was even discovered. In many episodes, the show's writers have tended to write for Sheldon as if they were writing for a homosexual character (owing to the fact that Sheldon's portrayer, Jim Parsons, is openly homosexual in real life), even though Lorre had previously officially claimed that Sheldon was assumed by the other characters to be asexual, as well as later seasons having Sheldon entering an on-again-off-again relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler, to whom Sheldon is now engaged after proposing to her in the Season Eleven premiere. The writers of The Big Bang Theory have also written for the character of Raj Koothrappali, Leonard, Sheldon and Howard's friend and colleague, to an even greater extent as though he were a homosexual (or more accurately as a "metrosexual", since he makes clear that he is straight and has had romantic relationships with women, although he is into many of the things that women are, such as buying skin care products and watching female-centric shows like Sex and the City).

A prequel spinoff of this series, titled Young Sheldon, will debut on November 2, 2017 (following a preview airing of the series pilot which aired on September 25) and will focus on Sheldon as a young boy growing up with his family in Texas in the 1980s, with narration provided by Parsons in-character as the adult Sheldon.[2]
