The Big Bang Theory Star Responds To People’s Hatred Of The Show
Simon Helberg addresses people's hatred of The Big Bang Theory. Premiering in 2007, CBS' nerd-centric sitcom ran for 12 seasons until it unexpectedly ended up in 2019 despite its popularity. While it was a ratings juggernaut for the network, it is no secret that not everybody was a fan of The Big Bang Theory. In fact, the show was widely criticized for various reasons, including its brand of humor.
Created by Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre, The Big Bang Theory followed the adventures of the Pasadena gang of five original characters, Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), Howard (Simon Helberg), and Raj (Kunal Nayyar). By season 4, CBS expanded its cast with the addition of Melissa Rauch's Bernadette and Mayim Bialik's Amy — both stayed until the show's end, playing Howard and Sheldon's love interests, respectively. Incorporating pop and nerd culture references, The Big Bang Theory attracted millions of viewers every week.

While The Big Bang Theory performed well for CBS, the show makers know that the sitcom wasn't universally beloved. Helberg talks to Bialik about this in a recent episode of the latter's podcast, Bialik Breakdown, where he recalls how some people tended to pretend to hate the show even though it seemed like they really like it.
