Big Bang Theory: Mayim Bialik On Why Jim Parsons Was So Good As Sheldon
Mayim Bialik has explained why Jim Parsons was so good at playing Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory. As one of the original characters on the show, Parsons, alongside Johnny Galecki, were the only two actors who stuck around after the hit sitcom's original pilot was re-worked. Bialik played Amy Fowler, a neurologist who meets Parsons' Sheldon Cooper through Raj and Howard, and the two eventually marry.
It has been almost three years since The Big Bang Theory wrapped up, despite still being popular. Its home network, CBS, wanted to continue the series and had plans to renew it for season 13 and 14. However, Parsons wanted to exit The Big Bang Theory after season 12, believing it was time to move on from the character of Sheldon and his beloved friends.
